So Obama says, "I had no contact with the governor or his office, and so I was not aware of what was happening" concerning any possible dealing about Blagojevich's appointment of a successor.

I'm not surprised by Blagojevich at all. But what about the Obama flak who listened to Blago without saying, "You know what you're doing is illegal." And passing it on to the athoriTIs.

Change, Obama, means not letting this scum grow in your shadow if you know about it. And your people clearly did.

And I'm not looking for a cheap Repub pile-on here - I'd really like Obama to be a great President in whose footsteps few can follow.
