MSNBC asking questions about Obama and Blagojevich
UPDATE: Illinois high court will not remove Blagojevich.
Surprising to me to see MSNBC report the possibility of 21 calls between Rahm Emanuel and Team Blago. Even MSNBC reporters think Obama could be more transparent and still honor the Federal prosecutor’s request to hold information.

Obama news conference at 11:45am.
UPDATE: First question from CBS News is about Blagogate. Paraphrased: You ran on a platform of transparency, how difficult is it for you to wait until next week to reveal results of your investigation? Obama replied that next week is not that far away and you’ll have answers to all your questions at that time.
He took 3 questions total.
UPDATE 2: Blago might break his silence today or tomorrow. Here is the video:
Blagojevich was bookie, says federal informant
I’m tellin’ ya, these guys are all connected to the mob. They have a mob demeanor, Emanuel included.
Hopefully the press will actually do it’s job and get to the bottom of this. The fact that they are asking Obama questions is a welcome change from the campaign.
