And this is how coverups kill you... Obama had spoken with the now disgraced Governor and seeks to deny it (a tactic that worked with Wright and the CAC and the NAFTA issue)... Now even Obama supporters notice Obama is flat out lying...
Now the Press see a clear lie, if they continue to defend him, it will be their reputations on the line... http://www.connecttristates.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=217582 http://blogs.knoxnews.com/knx/granju/2008/12/more-evidence-that-obama-and-b.html http://blogs.knoxnews.com/knx/granju/2008/12/axelrod-recants-on-blagojevich.html >>. Look, I was - and am - an outspoken Obama supporter, but I call them like I >>see them. And this time, to my dismay, I see Obama and his staff being >>ineptly disingenuous in a seriously misguided attempt at crisis management. The correct approach for the Obama team would have been to make it clear that this isn't their crisis to manage. It has absolutely nothing to do with Obama, and he could have driven that point home by being completely upfront. He should have told the truth, saying something like, "Yes, of course I've discussed who would take my vacant Senate seat with the governor, but I had absolutely no knowledge that the guy was at the same time attempting to illegally sell the seat to the highest bidder. That sickens me." That's what Obama should have said. I believe that he lied instead, which only makes him look guilty of something when he isn't. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
