Friday Audio Dump: Blagojevich Cursing Obama Over Senate Seat
**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers
Prosecutors at the trial of Rod Blagojevich released a recording of the former Illinois governor sounding unhappy, to say the least, with Barack Obama, but even more unhappy with his job at the time.
It’s said that the prosecution released the audio to attempt to prove the level of Blagojevich’s financial desperation, but the recording also implies that Blago had been contacted by someone from Team Obama and getting his arm twisted a bit about who to appoint to Obama’s vacated Senate. Blagojevich is nuts though, so it’s hard to tell either way:
In Chicago politics, I don’t believe anybody is innocent until proven so — and usually not even then.

I wonder how long it’ll be before someone who shall remain unnamed starts claiming that the same thing happened with Reagan.

I wonder who was on the other end of that phonecall. I hope it wasn’t one of the Obama daughters.
Congratulations to all the Il voters who are responsible for Blago being in a job he hated. So much for working for the people. So nice to know how our elected officials really feel! Can not wait for his next tape
Consider the qualifications of the woman Obama wanted appointed Senator. Her only qualification would be should would vote exactly the way The One would tell her to vote on any issue.
She had never even served on a school board. All of them are testaments to the fact they had no desire to solve any problems in our country. They have no problem solving skills or experience. All they wanted was to seize the power of those positions to implement a Marxist ideology.
This is nothing more than a coup de tat made possible by large infusions of cash from Soros, unions, illegal sources along with the willing support of the MSM.
Maybe it was Michelle.
I don’t believe it is possible to be innocent and also be involved in Chicago politics at the same time.
1) The Tooth Fairy
2) The Easter Bunny
3) Santa Claus
4) Barack Obama
5) Rahm Emanuel
6) Both 4 and 5
You have to choose someone that actually does the job they are supposed to do. So answers 4, 5, and 6 are out.
This is F’n gold.
My sense is his opinions regarding Obama are accurate; a pity the most precise words were beeped out, though my imagination is up to the task.
The line from Paranormal Activity was, “This is some golden sh!+.”
But either one will do.
Yes my heart bleeds for these thieving politicians who do nothing but spend opm and wheel & deal for patronage jobs for themselves and their families doing that s**t job as governor. Blago, like myself, was drafted into his service wasn’t he? He as govnah, me as cannon fadder.
Wow.
I knew it was bad, but not that bad.
Blago called Obama a “mother-BLEEP-er”.
Wow.
Blago as Huggy-Bear in the next “Starsky and Hutch” sequel.
I’m not calling for it, but I’ve thought for a long time old Blago would be found floating in Lake Michigan if he exposed the reality of Obama’s involvement in this mess. I think Blago had better watch his six. Obama did not get where he is by being all about fuzzy hope and change.
And voters.
Illinois: our indicted former governor is more entertaining than your indicted former governor.
More likely sharing a bunk with Jimmy Hoffa. Never to be heard from again.
At this point, I am almost ready to concede that a representative republic can no longer work in America…
Caligula would be shocked by this kind of behavior…
It is concessions such as yours and apathy that makes it more difficult. Do something about it.
I am doing something about it, Wade. But idiots like Blago and Obama keep getting elected no matter what I do.
The NEA can make little Marxist idiots faster than we can convert them back to sanity.
Thread of the month.
Yeah, it was like that when Jimmeh was elected. Absolutely clueless. Then people wised up and we had Reagan for eight years. Hope and change is coming. I mean the real thing.
Reagan was great for 8 years. He managed to slow the growth of government for those 8 years. And then we got Bush and then Clinton and then Bush again and the government grew and lurched to the left. And now Obama has lurched even further left into open Marxism and literal insanity.
What is is going to take to stop this? I don’t see it out there on the horizon and we are running out of time…
This man is diseased. Seriously Illinois, how can you justify electing this pig?
Voting for corrupt politicians seems to be the thing IL voters do best. I lived there for 12 years and voted in every election, including for Glenn Poshard (D) against George Ryan (R). Then the debacle of Obama vs. Keyes came, and it was so freaking frustrating. Ugh.
Not at all surprised to find out Blago was a completely insane freak.
He’s nuts to begin with, so add on the pressure from Teh One & Co. to pick someone who will do what Obama wants. Yea, i can see what that might make you go nuts. Be careful of the lake, Blago.
What a potty mouth! I bet the FCC is salivating on the sidelines of all the news networks. Just think of all the fines that could be generated if Fox’s overworked cuss canceller blew a fuse.
