		<description>Just like the cold war when everyone who didn’t agree with the U.S. was either a communist or a communist sympathizer. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.toki.info.tr&quot; title=&quot;toki&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;toki&lt;/a&gt; This poor crazy guy spent half a decade being tortured because a bunch

		<description>Nonsense. Emanuel didn&#039;t come riding in on a white horse to stop the crimes. The FBI has more than one recording of Emanuel speaking with Blagojevich. That they didn&#039;t name Emanuel (or others) in the charges doesn&#039;t mean there isn&#039;t more to come.

The feds have been investigating Blagojevich since 2003. Emamnuel couldn&#039;t tell the feds anything they didn&#039;t already know. Emanuel is as dirty as Blagojevich, as are Daley and Obama. They may be able to escape indictments, but that doesn&#039;t change the essential nature of their characters.

Obama&#039;s money-man, Tony Rezko, is now singing to the feds in exchange for a lighter prison sentence. In fact, the judge delayed his sentencing to allow more time for his &quot;concert.&quot;

Blago will sing even louder and longer than Rezko.

Obama and Daley will not be sleeping well...</description>

Right. Just like the media already hanged Sarah Palin for her kooky preachers rants about 
suicide bombers being jews geting what they deserved, and for his prayers against &quot;witches&quot; (and whose insigations led to the murder of about 300 people african tribesmen decided were &quot;witches&quot;)

		<description>Here&#039;s the scoop, guys:  &quot;Senatorial Candidate #1&quot; is none other than Valerie Jarrett, who has some pretty big clout in her own right (Grandfather was head of the Chicago Housing Authority--Robert Taylor, who had the Robert Taylor Homes named after him, and she worked for Mayor Daley, recruited Michelle Obama to Daley&#039;s staff, and Ms. Jarrett has worked for some multi-billion corporations in major jobs), and Blago was stupid enough to apparently shake her down for some sort of &quot;favor&quot; (probably a corporate board seat paying $150,000+/year for his wife Patti) or a &quot;contribution&quot; (a nice little check to his campaign fund for, oh, say, $200,000+).  Ms. Jarrett would not tolerate this nonsense, and I have no doubt her Blackberry was burning for Obama and Emmanuel when she left that meeting.  

I don&#039;t buy for a minute Obama&#039;s statement that he didn&#039;t know what Blago was up to regarding the Senate seat.  What&#039;s going to be real interesting is when the Feds get around to &quot;Senatorial Candidate #5&quot;, who is rumored to be either Jesse Jackson, Jr., or a lady named Jan Shackowsky, who has been a state senator in Illinois and was recently elected to the House of Representatives.  &quot;Senatorial Candidate #5&quot; agreed to raise $500,000 for Blago, and an &quot;emissary of Senatorial Candidate #5&quot; approached Blago and offered to raise $1,000,000 for Blago.  Speculation is that the &quot;emissary&quot; may be none other than Jesse Jackson, Sr., or Jan Shackowsky&#039;s jailbird husband.

		<description>I think people here are overlooking two items of importance:

1. In the video, Jack says &quot;perhaps&quot; Rahm was the tipster. Perhaps is a very vague word.

2. As an independent voter, I find it slightly amusing that the fact Blago is a Democrat is not mentioned much, because if he was a Republican, he would have already been hanged.

BTW: I met Rod when he was running for office. I was in a downstate newspaper office (working for Tribune Media Svcs. as a consultant) when he passed through on his way to the editor&#039;s office, skipping all the local reporters, but came out of his way to shake my hand. Why me? I was the only one wearing a suit and tie is all we could figure. Should give a glimpse to what type of person he was/is.</description>

They mean that Rahm &quot;tipped the scales&quot; and wanted this thing wrapped up soon. This latest thing was enough evidence. They didn&#039;t want this coming out later and possibly implicating Obama. 

I don&#039;t know if this is true, but I think this is what they are saying.</description>

		<description>The FBI&#039;s criminal complaint against the Governor explains that the FBI&#039;s investigation has been going on for 6 years. So unless Emanuel tipped-off the Feds in 2002, this is clearly wrong. 

One problem with Blogism (as opposed to Journalism)is that you&#039;ve now got 50 people here believing a wacko rumor.</description>

		<description>OK-why did my favorite blogs ditch this positive story about Blagojevich?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/08/illinois-governer-suspend_n_149272.html 

Don&#039;t get me wrong, from reading other comments, sounds like the guy is a 1st rate creep--but I rather liked this move.

Hundreds of billions of no-string donations to bankers who don&#039;t do shit. Meanwhile, what we NEED is a single payer healthcare system. And half THESE bankers stuffed into a deep pit.</description>

		<description>If this is true, any public servant had a responsibility to act.  Who here knows all the facts?

Looks as tho Rahm did the right thing.  I hope people don&#039;t have a problem with that.  I hope it is not a problem to wait for the facts to come out.</description>

		<description>Big Dan, Open Secrets showed Bank of America&#039;s PAC donated $10,000 to Rahm Emanuel and $254,167 to Barack Obama.  BOA is also a DNC partner.  

If Bank of America wanted to make a call, they likely had a number.</description>

		<description>And Patrick Fitzgerald is no hero. He was supposed to bring charges against Karl Rove during the Libby case. Remember Merry Fitzmas? We are still waiting, Pat! Nice job on prosecuting Democrats! Real quick and efficient!

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I think that WAS the message to all of Washington Obama was sending by picking Rahm&lt;/em&gt; 

I agree EugeneDebs.  Obama and Rahmbo will be doing things the &quot;Chicago Way&quot; (see &quot;The Untouchables&quot; movie for details).</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;..got his autograph and a picture too!&lt;/em&gt;

katy,

That&#039;s awesome.  What a keepsake to pass on to your family!

&quot;Fortress Obama&quot; is a 10 minute (at most) walk from the Daley Plaza.  Between Jackson &amp; Adams on Dearborn, where the &lt;em&gt;orange&lt;/em&gt; Picasso is.  You&#039;ll know you&#039;re there when you see all the Homeland Security vans and such all over - used to have some good anti-Iraq War get togethers there! LOL

Have a nice visit with your daughter and have a very joyous and peaceful holiday season!</description>
