Obama Sets Presidential Record For Getting Investigated By Federal Prosecutors

  •  December 26, 2008

He’s the first President to do it before actually taking office.

Every president for more than three decades has had to talk with federal prosecutors at one time or another. President-elect Barack Obama may have set a land speed record by giving his first interview to investigators even before taking the oath of office.
Obama sat down last week with four investigators looking into the alleged attempt to sell his former Senate seat. As a witness, rather than a target, Obama seems to have had an easier time with the experience than some of his predecessors. But it is certainly not the way he wanted to begin his presidency.

Hope ‘n change!
And, for the record, I don’t buy that Obama is just a “witness” in the Blago affair. At the very least, I think Obama knew damn well Blago was trying to sell his old Senate seat and did nothing to stop it. At worst, he was playing ball with Blago and nothing incriminating has been dug up to date.

    In all fairness to Dino, he is from very liberal Portland OR. The liberal controlled city and state, also, control the news media, so Dino, only, gets the slanted untruth version of the news. You have to feel sorry for someone like that.

    The left, as the first response in this thread shows, will attempt to turn the tables by accusing their opponents of that of which they are guilty of.

    In the meantime, nobody will be talking about Obama and his budding scandals. Do not fall for their stupid tricks.

    I think this is going to be one of the most corrupt administrations too many Chicago politicians in it. Yikes…

    “Obama’s only “accomplishment” was being successful at climbing through the ranks of the Chicago political establishment.

    You simply can’t do that without willingly getting mud on your suit.

    It’s NOT POSSIBLE.

    Sorry for dealing with FACTS here, but that’s how I roll. ”

    Seriously?

    What “FACTS” have you put forth? I don’t see one fact in your entire post.

    Simply saying thing does not prove them.

    “Every president for more than three decades has had to talk with federal prosecutors at one time or another. President-elect Barack Obama may have set a land speed record by giving his first interview to investigators even before taking the oath of office.”

    And he will set more records for himself and his staff over-stepping and over-reaching. My prediction is that nothing will come from his past and future activities.

    And besides, when you have a cadre of defense lawyers and the entire MSM(ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC) sitting at your defense table in the court room, it will make it that much harder to prove any wrong-doing on his part.

    After all, when you have the prosecutors, the defense, and the jury all have this warm tingly feeling running down their legs, it will be hard for the scales of justice to function in that much jizem juice.(Referring to Chris Matthew’s quote)

    Two possible answers, he’s a mind numb robot or a loser in mommy’s basement.

    Three: Like Hannitwit, he could be both! Heh.

    Dino can’t possible have a job. How does someone manage to reply to every single post on this blog within minutes of it being posted? Two possible answers, he’s a mind numb robot or a loser in mommy’s basement.

    What a fucking loser.

    Considering Obama’s propensity to make friendships with questionable peoples and eqaully questionable “deals” it will only be a matter of time before he makes a major mistake that will catch up to him. Let’s just hope he doesn’t damage the country in the process.

    I’m not originally from Portland. Spent most of my life in a much more conservative place. I fled. :)

    I would bet that I read and listen to much more conservative opinion than SC does liberal opinion. In fact, the reason I became more liberal as I aged is due to this education.

    The more you know about conservatism the more unseemly it becomes.

    Dino’s right.

    We should all get down on our knees and thank God we’ve got all these upstanding stalwarts of morality (Edwards, Rangel, Dodd, Frank, Feinstein, Blagojevich, Jefferson, Kilpatrick, Reid, Murtha, etc.) to ride in and rescue us from our “culture of corruption”.

    Dude, seriously, could you come across as more of a total loser here?

    Or, his about as passionate about fighting the good fight as Rob Port. But you probably don’t see it that way……right?

    Another question for DINO.

    If, as you seem to be claiming, Obama is innocent of any wrongdoing in the Blagojevich scandal, and that he’s being honest when he expresses his shock in finding out Blago’s as crooked as they come, then you’re basically saying Obama was the only person in Chicago who had no idea Blago was dirty.

    Now, are you telling us you want someone with the proven perceptive capabilities of damp sand in the White House????

    Obama was either:

    (A) in on it.
    (B) turning his back, allowing Blago to run around unchecked.
    (C) the dumbest person on this planet.

    There is no (D).

    Deal with it.

    Obama’s only “accomplishment” was being successful at climbing through the ranks of the Chicago political establishment.

    You simply can’t do that without willingly getting mud on your suit.

    It’s NOT POSSIBLE.

    Sorry for dealing with FACTS here, but that’s how I roll.

    Of course you think that. Conservatives have nothing but scandal-mongering left. They ran out of ideas decades ago. I mean, how far can appeals to slefishness, greed and fear take you?

    Pure ODS. Nevermind what the facts say, or that a man is innocent until proven guilty, Rob “knows” it, because he feels it in his tummy. And it is not partisal political bias at all…..Rob is just realllly, realllly, good at sniffing out that all Republicans are innocent before being proven guilty and that Democrats are always guilty before being proved innocent.

    But reallllllly, it has nothing to do with partisan hatred and blindness what so ever. Honest.
