It was just a matter of time that Blagojevich got arrested and indicted on his corrupt politics.
As far as Obama, well he's distanced himself from the governor when he started campaigning, although Tony Rezko was a fundraiser for both of them, and Tony owns the property next to Obama's mansion, as part of the real estate deal.
Obama did not invited Blagojevich to his election night celebration, by choice. So, I'm guessing, Obama has some knowledge of the corruption in the state of Illinois.
The Feds did such a nice job, they have a 79 page indictment against the governor, mail and wire fraud, and have been tapping his home phone and did wire tapping to seal the deal.
You wonder how anyone can be so stupid, but in the Pay to Play politics in Illinois, no politcal position is assigned, it's purchased by kickbacks or campaign contributions, so the dishonest politicians can run for office yet again, and stiff the people of the State of Illinois.
Im sitting back and waiting to see what the Feds might come up with Mayor Daly, as he is sometimes referred to having - Fedsheimer disease when the Feds get too close for comfort. Seems he can't recall any incident when asked.
The federal prisons system might have a wing for all the corrupt Illinois politicians twho are greedy and have no interest in the public, just them, their cronies and families.
Wouldn't be surprised if Mrs Patti Blogjevich was next!!
