Obama untouched by Blagojevich scandal. Do you think a Republican would get an article like this one from Reuters. Not likely.
I am not saying Obama is involved. But if these politicians were Republicans, do you think the media would be so easy on him. They would dig and dig, and even if they didn't find anything it would still be a big story.
So even if Obama was involved, the press sure wouldn't look. And they aren't going to either. The only thing that Obama did was to mostly stay away from Blagojevich. Good for his career, not so good for the residents and taxpayers of Illinois. Not once did Obama take a stand against corruption in Illinois. Never. Even when he had the opportunity he didn't.
That why I have never bought the idea that Obama is a reformer. Because he isn't. He may not be as corrupt like most Illinois Democrats, but he never did anything to stop it either.
