		<description>For all we know Icebreath it was Obama who tipped off Fitzgerald to move fast before Blagojevich sold the seat.  But I suppose it&#039;s easier for you to just keep making sh*t up like the typical rightwing nut you are.</description>

		<description>Hey, iceman,
I went to school with a mobster -- does that make me and my classmates a mobster?
I serve on a board where a member had an ethics issue -- does that make me complicit?
I said hi to my neighbor last month and today I read in the paper that he bought some child porn -- am I guilty of that too?

People who think like you do are contributing to the downfall of America as you would rather advocate division and name-calling, guilt by association, and unwarranted accusations than work toward the best for the nation -- a nation which  has deteriorated dramatically under GWB and his cronies.</description>

In his life and career in Illinois, President-elect Barack Obama has crossed paths with some notable figures who have drawn scorn and scrutiny. Among them&lt;/em&gt;

Hey Iceman, just because someone walks across your path does not make you guilty of their sins.  If that was the case, then Bush would be guilty of 10,000 more sins than he is already guilty of.

Do you and your ilk have any idea how pathetic you are?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;SamWeller Says:
As to be expected, this news report is no longer on the KHQA website, it was memory holed. It was however cached and archived after Yahoo crawled the web, as search engines are inclined to do.&lt;/em&gt;

When contacted as to why the story was no longer there KHQA said &quot;we were not able to confirm that the meeting ever took place&quot;.  

Just because a news station says that Obama is going to do something does not 1) prove that it was Obama&#039;s intention and 2) prove that Obama did it.

I suspect that it was more speculation on the part of the news station and they took down the story because it was embarrassing them.</description>

Same stupid troll under previous aliases including &lt;em&gt;hate_america&lt;/em&gt;. 

You&#039;re storming up a Rezko copy-n-paste as if we need to be convinced he&#039;s not a good guy. That proves you&#039;re a mental midget.</description>

		<description>Obama&#039;s press conference today was good.  He answered questions in length.  The man is not prone toward overemotion - he is calm and cool - no matter what the situation.  Reporters want more emotional response from him, but that&#039;s not his nature.


BTW, did someone mention here that Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky weasel, has pretty much put the kibosh on the auto loan.  Tempting a national depression.</description>

		<description>More than one person has suggested that Blagojevich is mentally unstable.  What he has done is so outrageous that no one in his right mind would have attempted it.</description>
