Apparently, Axelrod “misspoke.”
RedState: Conservative News and Community —
... Obama today said “I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening.”
…was a direct contradiction of what David Axelrod said earlier: “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.”

Hope and Change: Questions Come Up on Obama Blagojevich Relationship
Stop The ACLU —

Our story can kick off on Dec. 9, when Hot Air’s Allahpundit runs the story, “Obama: I never talked to Blagojevich about the Senate seat; Axelrod: Yes, he did.” The implications are clear and the Right wing blogosphere is quickly abuzz. “We’ve caught Obama lying about Blago!
