Is Obama going to get caught up in the Blagoyevich scandal?

Drudge is reporting that a grand jury has issued orders for the Obama/Resko land deal as well.

About time osama free pass from the media comes to an end.

Here's the problem: There never was an Obama/Rezko land deal. They never had any joint venture.

Ask Drudge about it.

Okay Beau you are right it wasn't much of a deal.But other than picking apart sentences, I bet you know what I am talking about.

That tale has been debunked. McCain played this card during the presidential campaign and got egg on his face for his trouble.

A transcript of one of the conversations the governor had indicated that Obama had nothing to do with it.

It never ceases to amaze me the kind of scum we vote into office. Maybe it has something to do with the cost of having an election, the whole process in general, which lends itself to those who are already born with a sense of entitlement?

The other thing that dumfounds me is NOT that he was attempting to auction this position to the highest bidder for the most personal gain (that's been done a thousand times in politics), but his blatant hubris in broadcasting his position.

Do these corrupt men really think that EVERYONE will sit by quietly and accept their treachorous behavior? His IQ must be right around 72. Not quite retarded, but damned close.

Y'all just don't know how disappointed I am in Rod. Money? Its like raking in leaves for a governor! He did not have to act the fool to make some cash. He was just proud and greedy, two of the deadly sins. And this stuff (we don't know yet if he is guilty of a crime) happened after he knew the feds were on him. So add stupid to the mix, too.

I think the hair fooled me.

I don't think any of this stink will actually make it to Barry. He and blago may have swum in the same cesspool that is Chicago politics, but they pretty much stayed at different ends of the pool & didn't play together much.

I did hear something this morning about not having anyinvestigation into who might be trying to PAY for Obama's vacant seat. Seems to me the tapes need to be reviewed to catch anyone else committing bribery or other crimes, particularly those vying for such a high office.
