Dave is right to point out that as far as we can tell from the
indictment, Obama appears to be in the clear with regard to
the charges about Blagojevich trying to sell the Senate
seat. However, the Blagojevich connection is merely the latest in
a long line of troubling associations for Obama. The most
charitable assessment of the pattern is that Obama is content
looking the other way in the face of wrongdoing to gain political
advantage at the time. This is the case with the financing he
received from Tony Rezko, his membership in Jeremiah Wright's
church, and his relationship with Blagojevich. While the issues
didn't cost him the election, the question that remains is
whether the judgment he's displayed in his associations in the
past, will be a prologue to how he conducts himself as president.
Can somebody emerge from a corrupt political world, navigating it
adroitly, without internalizing some of its tactics?
I don't understand how Obama is clear. If Blagojevich was using
potential bribes as a bargaining chip, and the indictment says
that he approached Obama about letting him choose his replacement
in return for political favors, isn't it obvious that Obama knew
that Blagojevich was soliciting bribes? Isn't he legally bound to
report that? Or at least isn't he expected to put a stop to it?

That's exactly what I feel about Sarah Palin since all of Alaska
is a corrupt petro cesspool.

Sarah is as pure as the wind driven snow compared to Obama.
Already he is under suspicion.
