Rahm Emanuel Had 21 Conversations with Blago About Obama’s Senate Seat
When the news broke about Illinois Governor Blago trying to sell the president-elect’s senate seat to the highest bidder Barack Obama rather emphatically stated that neither he nor any of his staff had ANY conversations with the corrupt governor.
I will give president-elect Obama the benefit of the doubt about one thing, he himself probably didn’t have any conversations with Blago about his senate seat. At least directly. But it is quite obvious that one member of his staff did in fact have conversations with Blago about the seat. Rahm Emanuel DID contact Blago about Obama’s seat.
Now there are rumblings that there are taped conversations between Blago and Emanuel, in fact there are 21 conversations that may have been taped.
Are we to believe that all of these conversations were on the level, if so why would there be a need for 21 conversations? It sounds like negotiations were going on if you ask me.
Barack Obama’s senate seat was for sale and Rahm Emanuel made 21 phone calls to the man selling the seat and we are supposed to believe that there was nothing funny going on here?
So either Barack Obama didn’t know that Rahm Emanuel was contacting Blago behind his back, or he did know and he lied to the American people. I don’t know which is worse. What I do know is that Rahm Emanuel needs to resign as the president-elect’s chief of staff. President-elect Obama’s first post election decision was a bad one. So much for the “good judgement” that he ran on.

Hey charlie, who’s the one being divisive? I could have sworn personal attacks were above liberals. Anyway, Mr. Pink Eyes, Sean Hannity was talking about this today and he wonders if the number “21” was thrown out as a red herring. That way, when Obama comes clean next week and says it was six times, people will say, “Well, that’s not so bad, not as bad as 21.” The point that is missed that you point out is that Obama lied…period.

How can we get excited about another lying politician. We can bitch and moan and they will get away with all their little crappy scams because we all think politics is a sucky game that we have little control over.
Until we get an organized opposition with clear, fundamental American values, we will continue to occupy the lower floor of the outhouse.

Wow, it seems there are many things Obama “didn’t know about”. Wright, Ayers, Rezko, his aunty. Now he doesn’t know about Blago either. How does a guy who doesn’t know anything get elected?

Our forefathers tried to design a government that was supposed to be afraid of the people, not the reverse which was status quo then. Unfortunately it is still true that our government does not serve our interest. I contend until we do away with career politicians this will never change. Our representatives spend too much time and money simple trying to get re elected. Those who now question people who raise concerns about Obama are complete hypocrites.

I think the recordings should be made public. Let the average citizen decide from the facts if Emanuel was complicit in the Blagojevich scandal. If the facts show he was negotiating for the seat then put him in front of a jury.
While 21 sounds like a lot, it could be simply a case of “Hey, want to get an update on your decision, call me back” “Looks like I missed your call, call me again today at 1”, etc.
