If you Obama fans out there believe that there is not anything here that can touch the exalted one than you better be praying.
Rahm Emanuel took over Blago's congressional seat when he became Governor. Obama, Emmanuel and two other machine Dems were key players in Blago's first run for the Governor's seat. This circle is fairly tight and there is a lot of wheeling and dealing including family members in the graft taking place.
Blago's wife was the real estate agent on the Tony Rezko, Obama real estate scandel. Blago, Emmanuel and Obama all have ties to Tony Rezko. This is the initial problem that Blago has been under investigation for since 2004.
It should be interesting when Blago starts to negotiate his plea agreement and what information he is going to reveal about his fellow Chicago machine mates.
Allegedly Rezko is also starting to sing like a canary. Prison tends to make some tongues loosen up.
It looks like Jesse Jr. might have some serious problems according to the tapes. He is not a target yet but soon could be.
Remember we have had a Daly as mayor for 42 out of the past 53 years in Chicago. Richie is about to surpass his Dad's 21 years in office. Fitzgerald is after Daly as well. They also have Luis Guttierez caught in a big real estate scandel.
The real betting will now be on whether Obama commits the Clintonian act of firing Fitzgerald like Clinton fired the Arkansas AG that was investigating Slick Willie and Hillary.
I am waiting to see the radical left start attacking their hero in the Scooter Libby affair Patrick Fitzgerald in the ultimate act of hypocrisy.

No baby, can't let that one go unchallenged.
He perjured himself in a court of law, plain and simple.
No he is saying the truth Richie.
This just stinks and the fact that the "O" marinated in this stuff is just delicious for those of us who think he is a hypocrite.
Jimmy:
Are you talking about Scooter or Clinton?
Regarding Clinton - what court of law? He lied under oath in a civil deposition about sex.
Scooter Libby lied repeatedly to the FBI and a federal grand jury concerning a criminal investigation about national security...
Anyone taking pleasure in hamstringing the president-elect is a fool. We have big, big problems ahead. Why would you want our leader to be embattled is beyond me. I take solace in the belief that he has done nothing wrong and will come out smelling like a rose.
BTW - I gave Dubya an honest chance in 2001, even after Florida. I thought he did a real good job in September of that year and said so. We only have one president at a time.
If you want to throw stones at 44, wait until he's done something to merit the treatment. He's not perfect - you'll get some chances to be smug over the next eight years.
