A 45 year old Chicagoan's observations and commentary on top news, pop culture and an accounting of the Obama Regime and their 'statist' power grab from my unabashed, right leaning/conservative point of view..

Here's one of my first posts and observations on a then potential Obama presidency in Feb 07/ I'm no prophet believe you me..... it was all common sense far too many today simply 'lack',
George Mason explained, “(T)o disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Noah Webster elaborated: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed
These people have incredible video of illegals, Armed terrorists, you name it invading the country each second of every day..
This is nearly identical to the outcome of the Stuart Libby fiasco it now turns out although he, Libby, was convicted of 4 supposed lies or perjury committed also during a trial for something Richard Armitage did... and I among many others don't think they, the federal government, proved a thing against this man Blagojevich.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't vote for the man, never would, and he's definitive slime, but they sure fell 'a country mile short' of what they advertised when taking him down a while back one morning, dramatically arresting him at his home after weeks of media jousting, and the excuse from Pat Fitzgerald was they 'jumped' when they 'did' because it appeared he was about 'to do something illegal'.
WHAT? Yes indeed, that was their line, because the public you'll remember was infuriated this scenario wasn't allowed to play out and suck Obama down with it, were it to have been taken to it's logical conclusion, the fulfillment of the actual bribes being concocted by the Obama, Blago, Emmanuel triumvirate that were supposed to be the basis of the entire case.
Remember, Partick Fitzgerald said this was 'corruption that's making Lincoln turn over in his grave".
As it turned out this was nothing but a 'morning at the office' for Obama and the boys as the only time he's NOT lying is when his mouth is shut like most [d] and many [r] politicians.
The feds obviously moved prematurely to protect Obama and nothing more, and this apparent NON VERDICT proves it. All charges were garbage and all they end up getting him on is lying during the investigation.
Just think what they can do to you and me if they can do this to a democratic governor who got in the way.
Blago guilty on one count: Lying to the FBI
"Update: A federal jury today convicted former Gov. Rod Blagojevich of one count against him: lying to the FBI. The jury was deadlocked on the other 23 counts against the former governor, and all four counts against his brother.
The jury in Rod Blagojevich's corruption trial has reached a verdict, and Blagojevich and his brother are in the courtroom awaiting the announcement after being summoned by U.S. District Judge James Zagel.
Blagojevich and his wife Patti arrived at the courthouse around 3:45 p.m. Their attorneys, Sam Adam and Sam Adam Jr., were already there.
'God bless you, God bless you, I didn't let you down,' Blago said as he shook hands with admirers. He also high-fived spectators.
Patti laughed as Blagojevich kissed her on the cheek.
As he entered the courtroom on the 25th floor, he said: 'How are ya' doin'? Say a prayer for us.'
Robert Blagojevich arrived with his wife and son around 3:55 p.m., waiving to people and reporters gathered in the lobby.
U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald and Robert Grant, head of the FBI in Chicago, were also in the courtroom for the announcement.
Stay tuned because this blogger has long maintained the government has been protecting Obama throughout the process of taking down Tony Rezko and Rod Blagojevich.
Case in point?
How's this?
Redacted portion: Yet, despite President Obama stating that no
representatives of his had any part of any deals, labor union president
told the FBI and the United States Attorneys that he spoke to labor
union official on November 3, 2008 who received a phone message from
Obama that evening.
....In addition, Rezko has stated to the
government that he and the public official had certain conversations
about gaming legislation and administration, which the public official
denies having had."
This is in the Sun Times on the front of the website.....
Obama lied his ass off in these conversations and this proves it.
If he lied about little things you know he also does about the big things, of course all but his most devoted zombies are well aware Obama's the emperor with no clothes if there EVER WAS ONE in U.S. Politics, the "king of the bullsh*** ers hill" if you will.
If you've read here regularly you'd know I maintain that when all is said and done Obama will be taken down by his former friends, and that revealed statement above provided by local NBC news 5 and brought to my attention this morning our friend Dave D from the "CR Wisco posse" up north, goes a long way towards proving it.
And there's much more to find here which points right in this direction..
Redactions Revealed:
NBC Chicago:
"1. Obama may have lied about conversations with convicted fraudster
Tony Rezko Blagojevich's lawyers allege that Rezko admitted breaking
the law by contributing 'a large sum of cash' to a public official.
Blagojevich's attorneys say that public official is Obama. Obama said
that Rezko never relayed a request from a lobbyist to hold a fundraiser
in favor of favorable legislative action.
But the point may be moot:
regardless of Obama talking/not talking to Rezko, Blagojevich's
attorneys say that Obama refused the request regardless. Redacted
portion: However, the defense has a good faith belief that Mr. Rezko,
President Obama’s former friend, fund-raiser, and neighbor told the FBI
and the United States Attorneys a different story about President
Obama.
In a recent in camera proceeding, the government tendered a
three paragraph letter indicating that Rezko “has stated in interviews
with the government that he engaged in election law violations by
personally contributing a large sum of cash to the campaign of a public
official who is not Rod Blagojevich. … Further, the public official
denies being aware of cash contributions to his campaign by Rezko or
others and denies having conversations with Rezko related to cash
contributions. …
Rezko has also stated in interviews with the
government that he believed he transmitted a quid pro quo offer from a
lobbyist to the public official, whereby the lobbyist would hold a
fundraiser for the official in exchange for favorable official action,
but that the public official rejected the offer. The public official
denies any such conversation. In addition, Rezko has stated to the
government that he and the public official had certain conversations
about gaming legislation and administration, which the public official
denies having had."
I've been claiming Blago would attempt this on this blog since the man fell into trouble, (50 plus posts) and I'm here to tell all again "that everyone's throwing this trial off to the side as if it's some foregone conclusion as to what's going to occur."
Now Blagojevich is looking to subpoena Obama to testify as to whether or not he was in on the "seat sale" and this is going to bring out all kinds of nasty stuff that Obama and his psychotic defenders not gonna wanna hear.
They're "thick as thieves" these two Illinois bums, but the Obama spin machine has made the public think Obama is "above it all", when he's neck deep in the slime bucket just like the rest of them.
He's been able to keep them all at bay with bribes through the Porkulus payoff and I'd bet my mother's grave site on it I'm so absolutely sure of it..
Furthermore, the government will try and keep him from being part of the trial, but Blago's gonna take him down one way or another once he sees "for sure" that he's going to prison.
He's being careful now because he's delusional enough to believe that he still has a chance in politics, but as he sees that's impossible, he's going to take some people with him.
And you can bet Obama will be the prize that will get him back in the good graces of the people and back into the "statehouse"... or perhaps even the White House, if the info is sweet enough to take down the administration and the Chicago Machine that it represents down in DC.
An action of which is the only way he can "trump the politicos in Springfield who hate him with a passion" both working and hoping to see him sent away for a while in order to keep him quiet about all the information he can provide about graft within the democratic party.
And we know he's sitting on the last egg of the golden goose. He may be nutty but he "ain't stupid" as he was once considered the top dem to run for president and he's still stewing that the Halfrican Boy wonder stole his thunder.
Mark my words, he's just holding on until he knows "he's done as a democrat forever", which again Americans like you and I already know, but he doesn't, because he's obviously as I've mentioned over and over "somewhat delusional", as we see from his continuous tries to stay in the public arena .. But he's a little snake and he's gonna strike back before all is said and done. And Obama's sweating his tail off waiting for this one to go away quietly.
Chicago Breaking News: "Lawyers for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich today asked a federal judge for permission to subpoena President Barack Obama to testify at Blagojevich's upcoming trial.
Blagojevich is charged with using his office to enrich himself and close associates, including allegations he tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat that Obama vacated in 2008 with his election to the White House.
Blagojevich's lawyers have previously suggested they might try to question the president.
'President Obama has direct knowledge to allegations made in the indictment,' the defense said in its filing. 'In addition, President Obama's public statements contradict other witness statements.'
The defense said it still has not received notes from FBI interviews of Obama even though it first sought that material in December.
Blagojevich's lawyers contend that some of Obama's public remarks that no representatives of his had any stake in any alleged deals Blagojevich had over the senate seat has been contradicted by some witnesses in interviews with the FBI and federal prosecutors. That allegedly contradictory information has been blacked out of the new filing, though the defense asked in a footnote that the entire filing be unsealed.
The filing said that only Blagojevich - who is expected to testify in his own defense - and the president can corroborate some of Blagojevich's claims that there was no conspiracy to sell the seat.
'President Obama is the only one who can say if emissaries were sent on his behalf, who those emissaries were, and what, if anything, those emissaries were instructed to do on his behalf,' the motion states."
That's right and once it's proven he did have something to do with it all he's going to sink like a rock in a river. Obama I'm talking about. He'll be done.
They say Obama isn't accused of any wrongdoing in the Rod Blagojevich scandal they say..."Yet" is what I say and once this Blago fest gets underway don't be surprised when that all changes.
And that will be "When the walls come tumbling down" to take a phrase from John Cougar's extensive catalog. No one can tell me that Barack Obama and Richard Daley are the only "clean" politicians in the Illinois swamp full of scum....no one.
Vindication is right around the corner for we conservatives, just be patient. Obama's not on trial here, but he'll be a subject of interest that will grow like the fungus these dems are, and Blago sure wants the attention off of him during the upcoming trial.
So he'll be name dropping to keep those headlines interesting and to show "the Chicago machine" chewed him up and spit him out over the raising of Taxes, (which he predicted in his defense they would do in his absence, believe me they have)..... and Obama's part of that machine.
Here's some of the names we'll be hearing during the trials that you that Hannity and Glenn Beck viewers / listeners will be quite familiar with...
Obama himself, First Lady Michelle Obama, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett and two labor backers of Obama, Thomas Balanoff and Andy Stern.
"I swear to tell the truth about Obama, the whole truth, so help me G_ _ ,
well I'm a liberal, so just "so help me" will have to do.....I promise." lol
Blago atty: Obama as a witness would be 'awesome'
Yahoo! News: "CHICAGO – One of Rod Blagojevich's attorneys said Wednesday it was possible the defense could call President Obama to take the witness stand if the corruption charges against the former governor go to trial, but added that it wasn't clear that doing so would be necessary.
Defense attorney Samuel E. Adam said following a hearing in the case that it would be 'an awesome experience in any career' to question Obama, who is not accused of any wrongdoing but did answer questions from federal investigators.
Blagojevich is charged with scheming to sell or trade Obama's former U.S. Senate seat, campaign fundraising abuses and other offenses. He has denied wrongdoing.
Blagojevich attorneys have asked U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel to give them an early look at the government's evidence, including records of interviews with Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett and two labor backers of Obama, Thomas Balanoff and Andy Stern.
Zagel indicated he might rule on the request Jan. 27." continued
