Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich, insisted during a press conference that he “did nothing wrong.”  He also stated that he would talk when the time was appropriate in a court of law.  The Governor also went on to say that he would not quit a job that people hired him to do.

Can anyone believe this guy?  The federal government doesn’t come after a state governor for no reason.  They don’t start immediate impeachment processes for no reason.  Give it up Governor!  You may be innocent until proven guilty, but don’t think you will get away for your wrong doings!

President-Elect Barack Obama refused to answer questions about whether he went back on his word to hold a “hands off approach” to filling his Senate seat for Illinois.  Obama appeared to lose his composure as the questions kept coming.

Questions keep arising about the connection between Obama and Blago, details will keep coming in time.

Earlier this week we heard the stunning news that the Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, was arrested for attempting to sell off the Senate seat of President-Elect Barack Obama.

The Governor insists that he has done nothing wrong and that the position was too important to give away for free.  He was going to give the seat to the highest bidder according to the authorities.

Since the arrest, Obama has been working tirelessly to distance himself from Blagojevich and his wrong-doing and asked that his staff report all communications between parties.  The President-Elect also called for the resignation of the Governor in a press conference.

But are there any connections between Obama and Governor Blagojevich?  Many resources today report that Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, has been having conversations with Blagojevich about who should take the Senate seat.  While this does not connect Obama to the scandal, you have to wonder how much Emmanuel knew, if he knew, about what was going on.
