Obama NEVER talked to Blagojevich? Hear no evil, see no evil…..
We are expected to believe that Barrack Obama never talked to Illinois-crooked-politician-of-the-week club president and soon to be former governor Rod Blagojevich about his Senate replacement? The media apparently does, as do all of the Obamanauts who are making sure no mention of the scandal appears on Obama’s “Open for Questions” site.
I guess that means “open for questions unless they are questions we really, really don’t want to answer.”
Imagine if this was a Republican. Imagine if this was Bush, or Cheney, or any high profile Republican coming into office.
Would the media believe that the recently elected President would have NO contact whatsoever with the governor who gets to pick his replacement in the Senate, where he will need all the cooperation he can get to make sure his legislation gets passed? After all, this governor is a close political ally who helped him get elected, and whom he endorsed for governor. Do we still believe he had NO contact at all regarding the appoinment?
Would we believe it when a member of his own staff said that he talked to the governor about the appointment….then suddenly releases a statement saying he “misspoke?” Or when a local TV station reported twice on a meeting between the President-elect and the governor, then suddenly retracts the story and scrubs its website?
How about if the new Chief of Staff reportedly had multiple conversations with the governor about the appointment, then suddenly stopped taking questions from the press and disappeared from press conferences, even though he nearly always attended them before?
What if the President-elect’s team started stonewalling, as the liberals in the press and Congress have repeatedly accused Bush of doing?
The answer is very obvious. There would be a feeding frenzy in the press. The liberals in Congress would be talking impeachment before inauguration.
What do we get instead? Well, gee, Obama says he didn’t talk to him, didn’t know anything about it, and he’s really, really, upset by the whole thing. And the press says “oh, well, okay then!” Must be nice to be The One.
Good thing there is no press bias, right?
The media follows Obama to gym, they know what model Zune he has, they talk with his camp and Gore’s camp when there is even the slightest chance of an open cabinet position, they talk with congresswomen who’ve hung up on him. If there was ever a conversation between him and Blagorich, they would milk the story for all it’s worth. When will you people realize that it’s not the media who has the liberal bias, reality does?
–csc5502 says: What do you mean, “you people?” Is that code language? That’s a joke, btw. It’s interesting that you actually just proved my point with your comment. “If there was ever a conversation between him and Blagorich [it’s Blagojevich, btw], they would milk the story for all it’s worth.” Exactly. And guess what they think it’s worth? Nothing. What was the Jeremiah Wright story worth? What was they William Ayers story worth? Or the story that Obama voted against life support for babies that survived abortion? Name the story that made Obama look bad, i.e. told the truth about him, and the media covered it “for all it was worth.” If only the media thought that ANY bad story about Obama was worth anything at all.
