I clearly state "If all this is true, there is no way we can honestly believe that Obama was completely unaware, or not a part in any way of the
"pay-to-play" schemes in Illinois."
Please, I respect both of you, and don't see why you are asking me to prove something different that what I have clearly stated.
Maybereal asks "Please direct me to any specific passages that you believe incrimnate the Pres. Elect or his wife." BH asks "Can you be specific as
to what you think this means about Obama, because I'm not getting it. " See 2 sentences above.
Okay redhatty.....You say
Apparently Blago (through comments on indictment) thought that Michelle Obama's placement on the board of TreeHouse Foods was a pay-to-play
"thing."
This is an assumption that he infered this by making the comparison to his wife. Lets play along with the idea that is what Blago was saying... Blago
also thought he could still have these conversations while being aware the feds were investigating him. He also discusses running for president
despite being under federal investigation. He also tried to sell a US Senate seat for cripes sake.....The man is delusional. I live in Chicago. We all
have known for years that he is out of his gord. I could care less about Blago's opinion as to why Michelle Obama was appointed to that board.
You also say...
I clearly state "If all this is true, there is no way we can honestly believe that Obama was completely unaware, or not a part in any way of the
"pay-to-play" schemes in Illinois."
Obama was AWARE of pay-to-play in Chicago. I and every citizen of Chicago is aware of the corruption...
but him being part of it is pure speculation and in my opinion very poorly founded speculation based on the inference of what a corrupt Govenor might
have implied in a snarky comment.
Has everyone skipped the passage where Blago curses Obama out for not being corrupt???
The Feds have clearly and publically stated that their wire-taps show that Obama is in no way involved. The transcripts show the same. Yet you choose
to reach and extrapolate on what Blago might have inferred and sieze on it as evidence? And ignore the part of the transcript where Blago curses obama
out for not being corrupt???
Have at it guys. Enjoy the hate-fest...don't let evidence get in you way.
