Dear god, please don’t let it start like this.  That was my initial reaction when I found out the news about Blagojevich. 

Quick recap - Yesterday, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested by Federal Agents for:

Blagojevich put a ‘for sale’ sign on the naming of a United States senator; involved himself personally in pay-to-play schemes with the urgency of a salesman meeting his annual sales target; and corruptly used his office in an effort to trample editorial voices of criticism.”  U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald

 Almost immediately Obama came out and said the following:

“I had no contact with the governor or his office and so I was not aware of what was happening, ” Obama told reporters today in Chicago. “It’s a sad day for Illinois. Beyond that, I don’t think it’s appropriate to comment.”

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is not implying there is a connected between president elect Obama and Blagojevich. There is, however, a conflict between what Obama said yesterday about having no connection with Blagojevich and naming the next Senator.

Look at what David Axelrod, Obama political consultant, previously stated:


Axelrod also came out yesterday saying he previously misspoke and that Obama/Blagojevich had no discussion regarding the open Senate seat.

With all the other topics facing the nation, I hope the media does not make a scandal out of what appears to be nothing. More harm than good would come out of such a situation. If Obama did break the law the, yes, he needs to be held accountable but I would NOT want to see such a situation…
