I feel sorry for his children and wife. Conviction should bar him from holding high office and possibly even voting. Most may not like this position but I think an ankle bracelet and a long probation term is possibly punishment enough for the sake of his kids. His career is over, let's put this behind us.
The people must take charge of the government again. Every day, some politician somewhere thinks he can get away with one form of graft or another. Lying, cheating, bribing, capitalizing on vice--these should not be the chief acts of one who holds public trust.
Nor any doubt in the minds of most Democrats. I never heard reports of anyone backing him when it all broke in late 2009.
yet somehow the OP linked him to Obama. Funny huh.
The man gets convicted of trying to sell President Obama's former Senate seat and you dont see the link to Obama?
Only if Obama knew about it beforehand. Did he?? If not, there is NO connection!!!
I wanted Blago to be innocent. I really did. He's personable. Likable. Not somebody you enjoy seeing go down. But if guilty, Blago deserves whatever consequences are involved with that. But he sure wasn't the only one with dirty hands.
But I believe the one indictment that the jury did not convict him on was a 'deal' between Blago and Rahm Emmanuel which would have brought Blago really close to the 'throne' if he had been convicted on that. Not an indictment of the President as being involved, but it would have smelled real bad. The fact that the jury would not agree on that one allows Obama some distance.
Given his relationship with Blago which certainly appears to be more than casual, that is a good thing for Obama.

Obviously not as stupid as blago, or most chicago politicians, including the idiot obamaturd.June has been a bad month for Demonrats......and....uh....Sarah Palin is stupid.
And facing up to 300 years cumulative time in prison.One of President Obama's peers in Chicago politics, Rod Blagojevich was convicted on a wide range of corruption charges today, including the attempt to sell Obama's Senate seat.

The truth is not bullshit idiot, clinton was guilty, ted kennedy was guilty.Gee. Because he really IS guilty?
That's never been an issue with democrats before?
Ted Kennedy was guilty, Bill Clinton, et al. It's never made a difference among democrats, who care only about party.
i love your partisan bullshit.
No, the dimwits are the best liars there are. Clinton and Kennedy proved it.That's because he's linked to Obama, dumbfuck.
Zona doesn't like looking at who has links to the President. If anyone is said to be linked to the President, it doesn't matter what the tie is, it's a conspiracy theory and should be ignored.
Because most of the time it's a lie. You nuts can't pin anything on him, so you lie and make up stories. You know that's true.

Those pictures are obviously fabricated because we have been clearly told by the Obamabots in this thread that there are no links between Blago and the President and that they were in no way peers.

Well the Obamabots are obviously all wet on that one. I have long indicted our President on his Marxist views and questionable motives based on the kinds of people he has surrounded himself with. But it would be wrong to judge guilt by association on this one. There is nothing wrong with Obama suggesting people to fill the vacant senate seat. There is plenty wrong with how Blago was apparently going about it though.
...it should be pointed out, Mr. Obama has a relationship with Mr. Blagojevich, having not only endorsed Blagojevich in 2002 and 2006, but having served as a top adviser to the Illinois governor in his first 2002 run for the state house.
In the Democratic gubernatorial primary that year, then-state sen. Obama endorsed former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris. But after Blagojevich won, Obama came around enthusiastically. At the same time, meanwhile, Axelrod had such serious concerns about whether Blagojevich was ready for governing he refused to work for his one-time client.
According to Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., Mr. Obama's incoming White House chief of staff, Emanuel, then-state senator Obama, a third Blagojevich aide, and Blagojevich's campaign co-chair, David Wilhelm, were the top strategists of Blagojevich's 2002 gubernatorial victory.
Emanuel told the New Yorker earlier this year that he and Obama "participated in a small group that met weekly when Rod was running for governor. We basically laid out the general election, Barack and I and these two."

Questions Arise About the Obama/Blagojevich Relationship - Political Punch
Blago deserves what he got. The nonsense though that Obama, Emanuel, Axelrod were clueless about the man, just doesn't add up. In IL, successful Democratic politicians are all one:

Well I probably should have been more specific that, short of evidence tying him to illegal activity, it would be wrong to judge President Obama guilty by association. The fact that I doubt he is as innocent as the driven snow isn't sufficient evidence to actually accuse him.
Another Democrat goes to jail....shocker.
