2. I saw that...and Axelrod is not helping one fucking bit...
Last month he told a local Chicago reporter that Obama had a conversation with Blago concerning his senate replacement. And then today (or late yesterday) he issued a statement "correcting" what he told that reporter saying that he was mistaken and that Obama has not spoken with Blago about his replacement.

Then that Heidi Collins says some shit like there are a lot of questions that need to be asked concerning Obama's involvement with Blago and his schemes.

3. If the truth be known..
This White House tapped Barack Obama's phone calls since the day he announced for Presidency. They probably requested that Fitzgerald investigate this matter, rather than the other way around. Most likely, they knew everytime he farted in the last 2 years. Obviously, if they had anything on him, they would have brought it out before the election. Fortunately, he did not need the money or favors of Governor Blago because he had all the money he needed from his supporters. There's a lot of wishful thinking but no facts to back up claims of indiscretion against Barack Obama.

4. Lots of questions? Since when do the media ask questions?
For eight years, they've been happy little stenographers, copying down the most outrageous, blatant, murderous lies of the century. But they've published and aired them because that's what their sources told them. See, according to the likes of David Gregory (newly annointed host for Meet the Press), it isn't the "job" of journalists to ask questions. They're just supposed to "report" whatever they're told. On the record. And after their source has had a chance to sober up and reconsider his remarks. Then, and only then, do they "report."

Now all of a sudden we're back to asking questions? What could have possibly happened in the last month or so that woke up the popular media, and now they seem skeptical of everybody?
