Axelrod on video: Obama talked to Governor Blecky about his replacement

By Uppity Woman on December 9, 2008 at 6:36 PM in Current Affairs

[See earlier story that proves that Obama DID talk to Blagojevich about the job.]

Barack Obama stated earlier today that he never spoke to Governor Blagojevich AKA “Bleck” about his replacement.

“I had no contact with the Governor”.

Here’s Dave Axelrod discussing a few weeks ago how Obama discussed his replacement with the Governor. View it while you can before Google yanks it.

Obama’s answer? His campaign issued a statement saying

“Axerod Mis-spoke”.

All Righty Then. That settles it. I believe Obama, don’t you? And the fork ran away with the spoon.

    I like to debate this more, but my unicorn ran away with a flying pig.

      ROFLMAO

      • Kal

        Deliberately OT:

        Marist poll shows CKennedy and Cuomo tied 25%@ in poll of NYers re senate appointment.

        I’m going to guess that BO might use the Blag duststorm to do his own dirty deal re Hillary’s senate spot. That issue has been eclipsed by the Blag story today, that’s for sure. But it does not sound like CK is going to stand down, seems to feel entitled to be not qualified for this. Maybe her kids convinced her she is qualified.

        PUMA!!!

    What is with Google? Are they tied to commies and terrorists or foreign governments? MG, that is scary. Those aholes are now off my computer.

      Here is an article about Google and some alternate search engines: google hides behind invisibility cloak
      I believe some of the comments allude to what you posted.

      (warning about the link, it’s to Lucianne, it’s a red meat winger site. But the Google info is good)

      • Fancy

        Google shouldn’t have a monopoly, anyway.

        Why haven’t the other search engines stayed current?

        Google is stale, creating it’s own information bubble, reinforcing the same results, over and over, “bababooie” thinks it has power, and gives the world Obama.

        Aren’t we lucky?

        ( I just can’t help but think the whole “boy band” thing backing Obama is no more culturally and/or politically sophisticated, (despite the money) in the end, than Howard Stern’s old sidekick – Google was/is a big Obama supporter, part of the whole San Francisco/Silicone Valley group, right?)

        • Ferd Berfle

          Try Alltheweb.com. It is clean, fast, and doesn’t have the ads. I don’t use google.

          • Fancy

            I will, thanks.

            I’ve been using various ones, here and there, and they’re OK, get me where I want to go, and I do see more “independent” sites.

            Sometimes, the homemade page is better, offering a POV, or info I otherwise wouldn’t have considered, sort of like AOL in the early days…

            • tillthen

              Thanks to all for the info on search engines. Google is now off my computah.

              • LV

                I’ve been using Goodsearch after a tip here from (IIRC) Rev Amy. You select a charity – I think all registered US charities are listed – and then every time you do a search they donate to that charity. A tiny amount of course but it does mount up. A few dollars a week if you search a lot.

        • Alice

          So which search engines are not bought and paid for? Tell us and I am sure there are many that would show their might by doing what is right.

      • Mar

        If you mean Lucianne Goldberg, she was a friend of Linda Tripp. Joe Conason recommended the book “Nightmare” to Al Franken about Nixon and Watergate and Lucianne was around then.

  • http://deleted Buzz Latte

    Sheesh, when will the under the bus tossing end? No kidding, Obama is the original fairytale.

    Axelrod misspoke?

    More like Obama is obfuscating once, again.

    • tek

      AFter you read everything, it does appear that Obama was involved in this. How else did Roddo think he was going to get a cabinet post or an ambassadorship I wondered right away, why did Rod think Obama owed him something in the first place? A lot going on here we aren’t hearing about.

      • cc

        remember rod is also linked to rezko…and so he probably knows a whole lot more about obama’s ties to tony…

        fyi- it’s becoming really easy to tell when obama is lying…it’s the tone of his voice, how he speaks, the expressions on his face. he’s not a convincing liar.

  • ame

    “Axerod Mis-spoke”.

    This evening on “Hardball,” one talking head said he accepts this statement and believes Obama.

    Another free pass….as usual.

    • tillthen

      I do not watch Hardball. Would you tell us who the talking head is that said he believed Obama? Thanks.

    • Tess

      Obama “mispoke” – I still like the old “WORM” – what Obama really meant.

    • apsihapa

      What Azelrod Really Meant (WARM) is somewhat similar to WORM. I wonder who exzactly is assigned to keep WARM and WORM straight.

  • Peggy Sue

    Let’s see: misspoke, inartful, unfortunate, yada, yada.

    I suspect we’re going to hear these words over and over again.

    Saddened and shocked, too.

    Verbal gymnastics to live and die by. The details just get better and better. Hope that bus is a widebody!

    • cc

      blaggo is not the person obama knew…

  • Touchet

    uuummmm uummmm what i meant to say is that we didn’t talk about this one specific selection. But thats not the point, the point is that we need to get away from these kinds of political attacks. America doesn’t want that, america wants us to….ummm….give lots of money to billionaires so they can continue to be rich…I mean. ummm ummm.

        look, we know it all hillary’s fault. a few good rap moves will bring the obots back in line. let obama give a speech about the gov and give him the finger. that’s take care of things i’m sure!

      These next four years are going to be miserably funny.

  • ford

    Rahm is in deep, if he is the “advisor” who spoke and tried to broker a deal with Blog….the reference to “5 CD” is about his seat that Blog was also to appoint. The power these people had, and the way they play with other people’s lives is sicking.

    It makes you see how Mrs. Obama was paid 300,000 a year to do the same job she was doing before BO was senator for 120,000 a year…a pattern of feathering your nest…and living knowing that Rezco helped buy the home you live in…

    do you think Blog will flip???he did call BO a motherf****er. It sounds like he is a little pissed.

    • oowawa

      Blogo is kind of cute with his poofy little hairstyle. He’ll probably be a star in prison. But he’d better watch his back . . .

      • HARP

        It`s not his back he needs to watch. lol

    Blagojevich was just a little stupid. Hells bells…He might as well put the senate seat up on E bay.

    Obama’s campiagn song should have been Queen’s “Another one bites the dust.” Pretty soon Obama will be a lonely man. I wonder how many politicans he will throw under the bus before they all revolt on him.

    • oowawa

      The Obots are all too enraptured singing Queen’s other song, “We Are the Champions,” to even think about “Another One Bites the Dust.”

    • lark

      Obama will be lonelier than Bush by several degrees. What miserably funny 4 years to have.

  • tillthen

    Wouldn’t that be sweet, to get Rahmo Emmanuello, the Israeli mole, caught up in the muck.

    Over at the NYPost, someone said that Yecchy Bleggy was a Serb and those guys are bad mean mothers. I wonder if that has the O person a bit worried. The Serbs and the Muslims have a long standing feud still running. Uggaly! I wonder if that’s running under the skin of the combatants here.

        yes and Hillary was only getting shot at these are shooting the whole country and bringing it to it’s knees…

  • fif

    For someone who is proclaimed the “Smartest President EVAH!” he sure is oblivious to a lot of things going on in close proximity–Wright, Rezko, Ayers, and now this. Either he’s lying or stupid. I go with “A.”

    • Ferd Berfle

      I think he is a stupid liar.

      • lark

        Atttten..shun. A stupid liar. Yes Sir.

    • Steve1

      No, no, no, no, its another boneheaded mistake~ Ha, David, making a misquote? When? These guys are liars and cheaters. Tony Rezko, Stuart Levine, Gov. Blago, Rev Wright, Poor Barry Soetoro, the lone clean sheep hanging with the wolfs, such good judgment………pity our country. Hey, didn’t Watergate start off with a little breakin by 4 low level jerks who were out of the loop???? Yeah, right. Can we say resignation or impeachment…where is that original BC???

  • HARP

    Blagojevich will be singing like a canary. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

      Does the squealing pig get greased?

      • TeakWoodKite

        • Zeke

          Say what an AO?

  • spatch

    Obama doesn’t know anything about Blago, didn’t know Bill Ayers, didn’t know Tony Rezco, didn’t know what Jeremiah Wright was saying every Sunday for 20 years, didn’t know he had a half brother living in a cardboard shack in Kenya, didn’t know about his illegal alien Aunt who was living in public housing and with tax payer assistance in Boston for years. Are we to believe that the Messiah MENSA had no clue who these people were and what they were up to?
    Apparently, 52% of the voters still believe the One and are totally unable to admit an error in judgment in regard to this flim-flam scam man.

    • benny

      did BHO know michelle obama? we’ll have to wait and see if he tries to throw her under the bus too.

      • http://baddemocrat08.wordpress.com csuzeq

        Oh, yeah, she’ll go under the bus at some point. Count on it. Watch Mechelle go down in Operation Board Games while Obama gets off scott free. That will be fun to see!

    • wodiej

      Messiah Mensa…good one….the new thing is not being accountable and making excuses for your behavior. So as Obama does…goes his worshippers as well.

    • oowawa

      All this “not knowing”–there’s something pure, spiritual, immaculate about it. That’s why so many photographers are able to capture an aura of light surrounding his head . . .

      • benny

        yep, and a special beam of light coming right through his ears which seem to hypnotise obots and turn them into zombies singing: O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma.

      • lark

        The same aura that hovers over every prison and the same beams of light that ushers from their windows.

  • samb

    Yea, you only mis- speak when you get busted. Don’t you just love that 70′s
    ex-porn star look Axelrod has? What a thug.

  • wodiej

    misspoke indeed….Axerod simply was not supposed to tell anyone…that was supposed to be a SECRET! Obama is not going to be the first black president. He’s going to be the first black president who was impeached. that is what people get for using a person’s skin color as credentials for anything especially when they are as dirty as pigpen.

    • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

      I will make bets with anyone here that you are right. 100% guaranteed this prick will get impeached. And early on too.

    From Chicago Magazine, via the WAPO:

    I thought I heard something about painting Blago as an unfit POS, which he is, but I’m thinking the intent was to take the heat off Obama, and Rham.

    • Elle

      Timely arrest to ensure that the public can not connect the dots.The heat will ignite nonetheless.
      Let’s watch and see.

  • ford

    If I was Blago,I would be very afraid. Blago is a huge liability to BO…it will be a shame if he is in some kind of accident…

    If you get a chance to read the indictment.Blago was in on hospitals, unions, newspapers, development and real estate, zoning, and appointments….he had his corrupt finger in everything, and BO endorsed him, and worked with him. Bo got the medical REVIEW BOARD BILL PASSED THAT REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF REVIEWERS FROM 15 TO 9…SO THEY COULD BE EASIER TO CONTROL, AT BLAGO’S BIDDING…

    BLAGO WAS ARRESTED JUST BEFORE HE BROKERED A DEAL WITH BO FOR THE SENATE SEAT.

    • oowawa

      If I was Blago,I would be very afraid. Blago is a huge liability to BO…it will be a shame if he is in some kind of accident…

      Do you kind of think that maybe this might never come to trial? I scold myself for being a horrible old cynic and just put another layer of tinfoil in my beanie.

      • Zeke

        My advice is to him is to stay out of the choir loft…

    • cc

      I think you are right on target with this speculation…blago squealing on bo’s corrupt past has oblowme sweatin’ bullets. of course, princess has gotten away with everything else until now, so he’s feeling superior and truly believes no one can touch him. we’ll see….but I relish the day this fraud gets what he deserves.

  • cathnealon

    Why didn’t Patrick F wait until a full deal had gone through and make the arrest if Rod was indeed brokering one with BO? Why didn’t he wait until he caught him sealing the deal? Did he do this on purpose to once again cover for BO? And my second question is why did BO lie when they asked him whether he had talked to Rod B about replacements? If he wasn’t guilty about anything he would have said “yes, we did discuss candidates but I had no idea he was wanting a payoff.’Now he had to lie again and say that “Axelrod misspoke.” It seems his first impulse is always to lie regardless of whether there are videos out there saying the exact opposite(Wright, Rezko, etc).And the only thing now is that this is only the tip of the iceberg and we all seem to be passengers on the Titanic.
