When the prosecutor, Fitzgerald, goes out of his way to disavow Obama as being involved (in the ethics/legal problem), I believe him. Not Hannity, not Sneed 
Obama never said "his people" had no contact, he said, "I" had no contact, which is true. Axlerod was the one that said no contact, with Emanuel having had contact. The Obama team then said right away that yes, members of the respective staffs have had contact. |
Casting stones at Cheney is ridiculous when comparing stories. Obama IS tied to Blago regardless of whether he did anything right or wrong. Why it is that every negative story about Democrats and the people questioning them supposedly is created by RNC and conservative talk show hosts? Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and it was a Republican gov from Texas and George Bush? The lefties would be storming the Fox news studios and throwing themselves off of buildings.
In my view the rush to defend Obama without the whole story being told is worse than questioning possible connections. And the semantics of what person on his staff actually spoke to Blago is a technical way to wiggle out of the statement that he had no contact with Blago. If Rahm had contact then Obama had contact.
