That aside Rahm wasn't trying to buy Bog off. We know this. What could be an issue is did he know Bog was trying to sell the seat. How direct was his info and how connected to the crooked Chicago scene are they. This won't do much to Obama but as to Rahm........... who knows? I don't think the public has decided how we will feel bout a chief of staff associating with very crooked politicians even if there is no direct participation. By not condemning the activities a person could be considered to enable even if they themselves are honest. It's real easy to claim there is no story while we are waiting for all the info.

Why would Obama-Rahm even want to be involved? They are in the big leagues now and this whole Illinois Senate thing is small potatoes. Where's the motivation?

Throughout the entire campaign, I could not believe how uninformed and gulliable the America public truly is. Not only did Obama NEVER speak out against Illinois Corruption, but he benefitted and endorsed it. Obama endorsed Blago, Todd Strog.er and Mayor Daley. Judge an individual by their actions not their words unlike the media, I am well aware of Obama and his corrupt political friends.

All it means to them, is that they can go on and on with one nutty conspiracy theory after another.

What a bunch of jerks they truly are.

The folks at Hot Air never walk back from their unfounded accusations. When it turns out that they have been simply slandering people, they just ignore it, move on to the next victim, and pretend like they still have credibility. Oh please.
