Warren,
The people who have much more factual knowledge about this case have said Obama is not guilty of anything – we only have bits and pieces of information regarding what happened in Chicago – THAT should be enough for anyone, but for some reason, certain Republicans – obviously with an agenda – have to push any issue they can that might make the new president elect look bad – its not hard to see what you are doing – its very transparent actually – its something you might want to take a look at! And its not just about this one article I posted, it has far more to do with the many many articles you post!

Warren,
And you ignore the long, laundry list of things you have posted about Obama over these many many months – all of which have proven to be false or misleading – you refuse to deal with the fact that it is YOU that probably has issues with Confirmation Bias, given the history of your Obama posts, and you don’t deal with the fact that ALL the people – investigators and prosecutors closes to this entire case have completely and utterly exonerated Obama – talk about there being problems having a conversation with someone – gees

The problem with having any conversation with you about this is illustrated by your reaction to my comment on the WashPo article. I point out with sources two substantial factual errors and you ignore that and still call it great.

Let’s reiterate that the people CLOSEST to this issue – not you nor I Warren – have completely exonerated Obama – perhaps you should take a cue from them?

I think, perhaps, YOU are the one who should take a closer look at confirmation bias Warren 😉 Only you and other Republicans who have had nothing but disdain for Obama are the ones pushing this issue? Should THAT raise an eyebrow- or two? Um, yeah! 🙂
BTW – I agree with you – it IS a great article 🙂

@Jayhuck: Great except there are two errors at least. Obama has spoken to Blagojevich within the last year and Blago was at the victory celebration (or at least he said he was the next day - listen to his description of it). Perhaps you should read my post on confirmation bias.

Warren et al:
The Washington Post has a great article on the relationship between Obama and the rest of Chicago politicos 🙂

In fact – the people closest to this issue have completely exonerated Obama – Warren – you didn’t like Obama when he was running – you made it a point to publish anything and everything bad and questionable about him that you could, and you continue to do the same. I’m not surprised, and it is your blog, but c’mon!!!!!!

Warren,
Did Obama say he NEVER talked to the governor? I’m trying to understand the specifics here – REGARDLESS, Obama isn’t implicated in ANYTHING – he isn’t charged with ANYTHING – and the people closest – that doesn’t include you or I – to this issue, haven’t charged him with ANYTHING! I’m struggling to figure out why the only people that care about this issue are Republicans who did not like Obama from the get-go. THAT is more telling than anything else if you ask me 🙂

It’s impossible to draw conclusions based upon what appears to have been bad reporting. However it seems unlikely Obama would be dumb enough to deny having met the Gov. if in fact he had. But even without evidence of a meeting, things are getting stranger. Obama today DENIED that his campaign had been involved in any quid-pro-quo for his vacant Senate seat— a denial that seems odd given that neither he nor his campaign has been accused of such. Further, the recordings of the Gov. sugest he was was personally insulted that Obama wouldn’t reward him for a favorable appointment to the Senate (“F*** him…” etc). Why should he be either surprised OR insulted if he knew Obama to be ‘Mr. Clean’? If , on the other hand, a former ‘good-old-boy’ was now snubbing a friend because of his election to the Presidency, the Gov’s anger makes more sense.
