Illinois corruption will be a trademark of the White House! All the appointments so far have been sold as well!!! LOL OK - after getting potential reactions out if the way - I truly find this discusting and the guy should rot in jail.

Elmorton Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,744 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 7/6/2007	He should be rotting in jail before any of this (said by someone who voted for him in his first term, btw - and I never thought I'd vote Green, but I sure as heck did when he was up for re-election!). The guy is a mess. His phenomenal budget meant cutting something like half of the state's museums and historical sites (oh, and about 2 million from my alma mater). I'm just thankful that they caught him now and that he didn't have the chance to represent the state in the senate!

How LOW can one man be? I am thrilled about this. Now, if we could just get something solid on Dailey, there might be hope for Illinois yet.

Except if you read the transcripts from the wiretap, Obama was blameless in it. The gov said that while Obama wanted him to consider "Candidate 1", he wouldn't do it because neither Obama or the candidate would pay him. Blagojevich exonerates Obama with his own words and it was on a wiretap so it wasn't like it was done for spin.
