Blag-O-drama report breakdown
Obama’s team released it’s much-anticipated internal “investigation” into contacts between it and Blaojevich’s office regarding Obama’s Senate seat.
In short, Obama discussed his preferences with Rahmbo and Axelrod, and Rahmbo relayed the list to Blago and staff. Rahmbo apparently didn’t know which was Obama’s top preference, and he touted Jarrett to Blago. Also revealed, Jarrett heard it through the grapevine that Blago wanted Secretary of HHS and made the comment that it would never happen, though it’s not apparent if Obama knew of Blago’s desires.
As I’ve written before, if the O would have just come forward and admitted his team discussed the seat with Blago as almost everyone would expect, this wouldn’t be a big deal. The fact he denied contact, then denied “inappropriate” contact after admitting there was contact, makes this situation all the more suspicious. Welcome to the age of “O”paquency.
