45% Suspect Obama Team Involved in Blagojevich Scandal

Via Rasmussen:

Monday, December 15, 2008
Forty five percent (45%) of U.S. voters say it is likely President-elect Obama or one of his top campaign aides was involved in the unfolding Blagojevich scandal in Illinois, including 23% who say it is Very Likely.

Just 11% say it is not at all likely, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken Thursday and Friday nights.

Voters nationally are more skeptical than those in Illinois. Thirty-two percent (32%) of Illinois voters said in a survey late last week that there is no way Obama was involved in the Blagojevich case, while only 13% said it is Very Likely that the president-elect was involved, with another 13% saying it is Somewhat Likely.


Comments from Matthew Yglasius:
his morning on MSNBC there was a lengthy discussion of Obama's involvement in Blagojevich's corruption. Of course, there was no evidence of any involvement on Obama's part. Nor, despite this being a news channel, was there any original reporting of any kind whatsoever. There was, however, a ton of time spent criticizing the Obama campaign's PR strategy with regard to this issue -- the suggestion being that had Obama adopted a better PR strategy, then people wouldn't be on television making evidence-free guilt-by-association accusations against him.


This {struck} me as odd. The people making the accusations kept acknowledging that they had no evidence. One might think that communicating to television personalities the fact that there was no evidence of wrongdoing on Obama's part would constitute a good PR strategy. Given that they knew there was no evidence of wrongdoing, they should have ceased implying that there was wrongdoing. But they didn't do that at all. Not, I would submit, because of any failings on Obama's part, but because Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, John Heileman, Mark Halperin, and Pat Buchanan don't care at all about the accuracy of the impression their coverage gives.

1. The data in the poll is inaccurate
   
and has likely been fabricated.

2. The fact that there is polling on this matter shows that Rasmussen    Updated at 3:19 AM
   
is as involved in attempting to control the nation's public opinion as the corporate media is. In fact Rasmussen is part of the Corporate cabal.

The sicken me!

A lot, if not most of us knew that the corporate media would start its relentless campaign against Obama just like they did against Clinton. That the MSM will try and cripple the president because he will work for the people and not for the corporations. I have to admit that even I am surprised at how early the attack is beginning. Obama hasn't even taken office yet! This means that the corporate owned, traitorous MSM is worried. They are looking to cripple the new president with a first strike and hope he can't or won't retaliate, and are hoping he ends up as impotent as President Clinton.

I think the MSM is mistaken. If a lot of us foresaw these attacks by the MSM on Obama, I am absolutely sure that Obama knew this was coming and that he WILL take action. I've been extremely impressed with his actions so far, and again, he hasn't even taken office! He is essentially controlling policy in Iraq and Afghanistan as evidenced by Gates actually stating Obama's rather than Shrub's policy! It is stunning. His continual and measured press conferences reassuring the country about the economic crisis are also while Shrub dodges shoes is, well, stunning. People forget that Obama has no official power yet, and he is still having at least as large an impact as the sitting president! This is entirely unprecedented!!

So, once he takes office, I think the MSM corporate owned, traitorous whores are going to get taken to the woodshed. I am unsure what Obama will do to them in the woodshed, or whether the MSM will ever come out of the woodshed, but I have no doubt they are in for a world of pain. At the very least a few more networks could find themselves in Fox's place at press conferences. No questions allowed, no access to administration officials etc. However, I feel in my gut, that Obama has something more planned for slanderous, traitorous MSM networks. No doubt it will be subtle, firm, devastating and done with Obama's invincible charm and style.

O-mpeachment now

oh, please.  the MSM hasn't spit out the little obama long enough to attack "He Who Occupies The Office of the President-Elect".

Good grief!!  I know you nutballs at the DUmp don't believe in guilt by association except when it politically suits you, but most people are aware of Democratic politics know as the Chicago Machine.  It's really quite simple:

Is BHO a Democrat?  Yes.

Is he from Chicago?  Yes.

Then he's automatically part of the Chicago Machine.

Does the Chicago Machine consists of a bunch of crooks?  Yes.

Is there anyone who is part of the Chicago Machine who isn't a crook?  No.

Does anyone involved in Democratic Party politics in Chicago know they have to be part of the Chicago Machine which consists of a bunch of crooks or they're not going to be part of Chicago politics?  Yes.

Did BHO knowingly alligned himself with a bunch of other crooks for political purposes?  Yes.

Case closed.
