#1 "Obama declined a job offer from Rezko, instead accepting a position at a small Chicago law firm that would later represent Rezko's company and whose senior partner would in time go into business with Rezko."

Even outside of the Chicago Machine, that's considerd a difference without distinction.

#2 No, don't go into business with me, I'll set you up with a job over at X. I'm thinking about partnering with X, and I need someone I can..... trust, if you get my drift.

#3 The thing to remember is that as a politician in the same state and party any politician has to interact with people. However, he or she does not have to befriend a person, and limit the interactions to professional boundaries. Obama might have endorsed Blago in the general but in the primary he did endorse his opponent. So, the conclusion is that all the interactions were strictly professional. In a similar analogy, a lots of folks who endorsed Hillary then turned their endorsement to Obama when he won the primary. Even though he was not their first choice, he was the Democratic nominee so they endorsed him. That is politics works. Obama does not need to discuss any interaction once he indicates that he has not have any discussions regarding the vacant seat. Therefore, he was not involved in any wrongdoing - it's time to move on and look forward! Let's focus on all other critical problems at hand!

#5 Suggestions4Obama, are you paid to post comments at certain blogs? Is Rantburg on your morning list?

Also, if you're into suggestions, why is it that if I go to change.gov and ask a question about how Obama is going to clean up corruption, that question is flagged as 'inappropriate'?

Notice that, as a moderator, I'm not flagging you as inappropriate.

#6 And that's too bad. It's foolish to let these astroturfers use the Burgs bandwidth to spread their propoganda when they've no interest in reciprocity. One set of rules for the, another set for me. I see nop reason to help our ~~enemy~~ domestic poltical opponents.

#8 Why wouldn't corruption be a "critical problem at hand"?

Why should we "move on" just because a politician "indicates" he wasn't involved?

#10 Tony 'The Fixer' Rezko corrupted anyone and anything he got near. But when he interacted with Obama he realized he was dealing with a politician that was pure as the driven snow so he was always on the up and up.

Can we all believe that?
Yes we can!
Yes we can!
Yes we can!
Yes we can!

All this shouting is making me thirsty. Can I please have another glass of Koolaid?

#11 Aisle #3. Where do these people go to learn such mindless gibberish? Liberals are the only folks I have ever seen that could throw out that sort of word salad.

#12 it will be a surprise indeed if we see that Mr Obama hasnt got any one him while in the political machine of Illinois for so long....

#13 If I remember it was Sen. Tom Daschle who first called on his fellow countrymen to "move on" after we learned the truth about Bill Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky and the lies he told when he denied it. Seems like one of the primary donk characteristics is to "move on" and pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. Well, nuts to you, Suggestions4Obama. We are not over the rainbow. We wanna stop and look into it a little more because we think your man is the Creature from the Black Lagoon and, yes, that is a critical issue.

#14 Aisle #3 is left as a display of what currently passes for thinking on the part of Obama supporters.

#15 Looks more like a reminder of how the right continues to be guilty of aiding and abetting the left.

Apparently "move on and look forward" also includes censoring questions on the matter.
