Listen To His Voice
Classical Values — ... Obama was not in touch with Blagojevich about his vacated Senate seat. You know, I believe it. That is the kind of work handled by underlings and cut outs. Plausible deniability and all that. Got to keep the front man clean while underlings do the dirty work. Well it is early days yet. It took two years to bring Nixon down. Fortunately Obama has about a three month head start on Nixon's timetable . So will we see Obama resigning in March of 2010? Time will tell won't it?
