Obama is a natural born citizen
Obama is NOT involved in this mess except to help bring the governor down by Rahm blowing the whistle
Obama WAS elected President of the United States of America by the PEOPLE
In January 2009, you WILL have a black man with a funny name as YOUR PRESIDENT.
Deal with it.
Continuing to tell yourself you are right when you know you're wrong won't make it right...
Yep, and they would argue that they are only stating 'facts' not racist remarks.
The subject of this thread is assinine but the 'pugs latch onto it and others like it as if were the last life jacket on the Titanic. Their hatred of the President-elect is palpable, never ending and far reaching. Until he has completed his eight years in office, they won't quit. For that matter, they will likely continue to their death beds. Sad. The energy they expend on it could be used for good instead of evil.

Deal with it.
Quote: Rahm Source: Story That He Tipped Off Feds To Blago Is False

A source close to Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is denying reports that Rahm tipped off the Feds to Blagojevich's alleged efforts to sell Obama's Senate seat.
The rumors to this effect have been flying all afternoon, kicked off by a local Fox reporter in Chicago who claimed that he'd received a "tip" that Blago had reached out to Rahm to "leverage" filling Obama's Senate seat.
"It may have been Rahm Emanuel who tipped the scale and made this move as quickly as it did," the reporter said.
"ROD BLAGOJEVICH said he knows that the President-elect wants Senate Candidate 1 for the Senate seat but “they’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. **** them. http://www.abcnews.go.com/images/Blo..._Affidavit.pdf page 68
So: If no one on the Obama team ever spoke about the matter to anyone on the Blagojevich team, how did Blagojevich know this?

Kooter, bit points, this is perhaps the first time that you have posted something of the verge of being correct. Bit props, but no rep points.
The complaint clearly points out the FBI obtained an warrant for electronic surveillance of Blagojevich on October 21, 2008, too early for their to have been involvement with the President elect. It was also far enough ahead of the establishment of the Transition Team to have missed any communications between the Governor and the President Elect, his advisors or the transition team [starting at paragraph 14 of the Complaint]. Yet, there is no indication that there were any communications between the President Elect, his advisors or the transition team. Meaning, Emmanuel didn't tip off the FBI, nor is he or Obama involved in anyway with this scandal (that's why you don't get any rep points.
