Friends in Low Places

In regard to the controversy surrounding Illinois Governor Blagojevich and the now vacant Senate seat in Illinois, B. Hussein Obama earlier this week said, "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not, aware of what was happening."

Okay, fair enough.

However, there is another statement out there. On November 23, senior Obama advisor David Axelrod said, "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."

Hmm... it sounds like the well-oiled Obama machine didn't quite have their stories prepared on this one. Since these statements so obviously contradict one another, who could be telling the truth and who is the liar?

For me, it is rather hard to imagine that Obama has had "no contact" at all with the corrupt Illinois governor about the Senate opening. So, yes, if that is true then he would be the liar. He definitely has a lot to gain personally if he can have some influence over who is chosen to fill his old seat. A Senator who agrees with him politically could always be counted on to vote the way Obama wants him to on any issue that comes before Congress. It's only natural that he would let his opinion be known to the governor so he could have this advantage for the next four years.

Even if you want to give Mr. Obama the benefit of the doubt and say that his advisor is the liar, it is still his administration that is engaging in the policies of deceit, and doing so before they even set foot in the White House. It's scary to imagine what they might try to do when they actually are in power. I just got a chill!

At least some of the dirty dealings of other Democrats are finally being revealed, though. Since the mainstream media and the Democratic party are focusing all their efforts on protecting the precious president-elect, we may be able to figure out what some of the others are doing in their spare time.
