Obama Missed the Point
Posted by Joy Bischoff under: What's News .
Whether or not the aides of President-Elect Obama engaged in inappropriate conversation with Governor Blagojevich is not what interests me at the moment. Obama earlier stated that no conversations happened. They did. What we want to know is why does Obama continue to show that honesty is of no value to him? How are we supposed to trust the things he tells us when he is in office? How do we believe the stories behind the actions he will take?
Obama: Probe shows no contact in Ill. gov scandal
CHICAGO – President-elect Barack Obama said Monday a review by his own lawyer shows he had no direct contact with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the appointment of a Senate replacement, and transition aides “did nothing inappropriate.”
Obama said he is prepared to make the review public, but decided to hold off because prosecutors asked for a delay and “I don’t want to interfere with an ongoing investigation.”
Controversy has swirled around the president-elect and his incoming White House chief of staff, Rep. Rahm Emanuel, following Blagojevich’s arrest last week on charges he schemed to trade Obama’s Senate seat for personal gain.
