Then why did he deny that he spoke to him if there is nothing to hide?It stands to reason Obama would have talked with Blagojevich about a replacement. That would seem to me to be 'normal' in such a situation.
That does not mean, however, that Obama suggested anything that was inappropriate or illegal, or that he knew about what Blagojevich was doing.

In other words, if you're a Liberal, then you are putting out political cover, but if you're a Conservative, then you're a liar and should be indicted.That is problematic because of appearances if nothing else. I think saying they hadn't spoken was a quick bit of political cover thrown out there, not recalling the Axelrod comment from before. Obama probably didn't want to admit there had even been discussions in order to distance himself as far as possible politically from Blagojevich.
But that in and of itself doesn't mean Obama knew of or was involved in what Blagojevich was doing.
So your rationalization is that Obama's first reaction was to lie. Well, considering his history I would take a wild, careless guess that you just might be correct. Then again, he is supposed to the smartest man that has ever lived, so again, if there is nothing to cover up why would he try to cover it up? Doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do for the smartest man who has ever lived...That is problematic because of appearances if nothing else.

Accept my apology for making a baseless allegation. However, I do like to whistle while I work.Maybe you can link to the post where I supported the indictment of a Conservative...
...also, the whistling emoticon can be apt at times, but when you use it in every post it becomes cliche. You should try a few posts without it.

Geez! Do you even know how lame that sounds?He's a politician. I think part of the reason so many politicians get themselves in hot water is their first impulse is to lie about something that would otherwise be trivial because they are thinking first and foremost about political implications.
Politicians don't lie and get themselves in trouble with the lie when they have no reason to lie in the first place. That just makes no sense. Liars lie as a last resort. Crooked liars lie as a first resort.

Not the politicians that I've worked with. But then again, I've worked exclusively with Conservatives.That's not the case at all. I have worked with a number of politicians on a local and state basis and I've known more than a few who would throw out a lie like this one from Obama merely to give themselves political distance from an issue, even if there were no underlying problem. If you don't think a politician would do that, even though it isn't rational to do it, then I can conclude that you do not have much experience with politicians.
You worked for politician THIS DUMB?!? If Obama lied just to distance himself from this when the shit has already hit the fan, there is a much bigger question then: How the hell could someone so incredibly stupid ever get close to the presidency?!? It would take only a thimble full of brains to figure out that lying under these circumstances is pretty much the dumbest thing Obama could do.That's not the case at all.

Former page for Mark Foley are you?Not the politicians that I've worked with. But then again, I've worked exclusively with Conservatives.
