We'll save this little "I had nothing to do with this" quick draw throwdown Obama's people slapped together with the Weather Czar Al The Bore Gore at the Messiah's side so as to limit the media questioning that took place around 3 pm cst.
It'll be a "come back to haunt moment" I'm betting, because this connection will now have to be reexamined and that it will..

Obama: 'Saddened, sobered,' and 'not aware'
Politico.com: "Barack Obama, at the top of his press conference with Al Gore, offered only a brief, measured statement on the arrest of Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Like other Illinois citizens, he said, he is 'saddened and sobered by the news that came out of the U.S. Attorney's office today, but as this is an ongoing investigation involving the governor, I don't it will be appropriate for me to comment on the issue at this time.'
Obama also said he wasn't aware of Blagojevich's alleged attempt to sell him a senate seat for Valerie Jarrett.
'I had no contact with the governor or his office, so I was not aware of what was happening,' he said.
Obama didn't say whether he'd been in touch with prosecutors.
Obama had been a Blagojevich ally earlier in his Illinois career, but has kept him at arms length since before the beginning of the presidential campaign. Other Illinois officials have been much freer than Obama seems to feel to talk about the details, and to call for Blagojevich's removal. It's not entirely clear what Obama is waiting for, though it's worth noting that Blagojevich hasn't been indicted -- the document we're all referring to is a complaint, which typically precedes and indictment."
