    Actually, from what little I've read, Obama's people are hilariously unwilling to play ball with Blageoimadinnerjacket (D).

    [Blagojevich] also appears to think little of the president-elect, whom he calls a "" at one point.
    him,” Blagjoveich says of Obama during a lengthy call with top aides and his wife recorded on November 10th, “For nothing? him.”
    In another section of the complaint, Blagojevich expresses exasperation that Obama and his team aren't willing to offer him an inducement in exchange for appointing an aide, apparently Valerie Jarrett, to the Senate.

    Blagojevich "said he knows that the President-elect wants Senate Candidate 1 for the Senate seat but 'they’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. them,'" says the complaint.

    Yea. I heard about the "N" bomb and "MF" bomb last night. That will cushion the blow quite a bit for Obama.

    My point is that maybe Obama's words are just that - words. The praise that he has heaped on a man who is obviously some sort of deranged ego maniac is totally undeserved. Over time people might just think Obama speaks gold irrespective of the issue or reality. It kind of slays the credibility of his words.

    This is not the only issue. He has already contradicted reality more than any candidate that I can remember in such a short period of time. I really love it when he is asked about Clinton having Zero foreign policy experience and then nominating her for Secretary of State. Then, when he is called on the flip at the announcement he says that the reporter is having fun with him and that it isn't fair to hold him to account for things said during the campaign (not in as many words).

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
