PEBO’s Open Thread

By Lena Grove aka nasuS on December 10, 2008 at 1:40 AM in Current Affairs

PEBO may be having trouble sleeping tonight, restless not from conscience but from consciousness of guilt. Doubtless, his vast flock is asleep, unaware, and dreaming of champagne flutes and satin gowns and great glory and their imagined, they are so sure, prideful no-small-part in history. Yet, there maybe one or two in the vast flock who are beginning to stir, those who once had a conscious conscience that is starting to stir again, invading their bliss, and this is for them:


“He is a man with tens of thousands of blind followers. It is my business to make some of those blind followers see.”

         – Abraham Lincoln on …


Oh the irony.

It was Abraham Lincoln on the covertly proslavery, and amoral, Stephen Douglas.

  • TehGhey

    Awesome!!!1!!1!!

    Eyes will be opened!

  • alibe

    If not eyes opened, then a serious second eye twitch from PEBO! I loved that PEBO…

    Friends of Blagojevich. The FBI has obtained a copy of that list, which identifies individuals and entities targeted for campaign contributions, as well as amounts sought from those individuals and entities. A comparison of the names and entities on that list with information available from public sources and FBI investigative files reflects that numerous of the individuals and entities on that list have state contracts or have received public benefits conferred by ROD BLAGOJEVICH, such as appointments to positions in state government. P34

    .

    A point made by Mr. Johnson on Nocturnal Warriors show tonight, that there where at least two of these appointments at Obama’s “request”.

      Remember Obama said in the campaign he would get the Olympic Committee to award the 2012 games to Chicago? “About the time I’m finishing up my second term.”

  • http://deleted Buzz Latte

    The pendulum eventually swings the other way. Apparently no Chicago politician’s grandmother told them that little bit of wisdom.

    Obama will be fighting this one off for the rest of his criminalcareer.

    Won’t it be delicious to see what unfolds in Obamaland?

  • TeakWoodKite

    Where can I find Obama’s schedule on October 6, 2008?

    According to Individual A, after Individual B left the meeting on October 6,2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH told Individual A that he was going to make an upcomingannouncement concerning a $1.8 billion project involving the Tollway Authority

    • socalannie

      I couldn’t find it. During the campaign he jetted all over the place, didn’t he? Multiple cities in the same day? So do you think Ind. B is Obama?

      • TeakWoodKite

        Individual A.

        Individual A has declined the government’s requests to record in person meetings or telephone conversations with the subjects of the investigation. P31

        According to Individual A, during this same meeting, ROD BLAGOJEVICH began discussing recent media reports about the possibility that Antoin “Tony” Rezko was cooperating with the government. According to Individual A, at one point in the conversation, ROD BLAGOJEVICH said words to the effect that he was not concerned about Rezko’s cooperation because he was not involved in illegal activity with Rezko.According to the Individual A, Fundraiser A then said words to the effect of, “unless prospectively somebody gets you on a wire.”

        (Criminal Complaint;#66, p37)

      Tell us Teak! I don’t remember anything about Barry and a toll authority scandal.

      • TeakWoodKite

        I just started looking back on this,

        The Subway sandwich shops and Panda Express Asian restaurants now being installed in the tollway’s seven revamped rest stops are controlled by firms with strong ties to the food-service empire of Antoin “Tony” Rezko, a Blagojevich confidant who has seeded the governor’s cabinet with former business underlings

        How well does Harris know Axelrod?

    • Just A Thought

      Do not know about the 6 Oct. thing, but do know where he was on November 5, 2008.

      He met with Blago to discuss his successor: Read Carol Sowers’ newspaper article for Wednesday, November 05, 2008 at 10:39 a.m.

      “Who will fill Obama’s senate seat?”
      http://www.connecttristates.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=217582

      Sort of makes liars of Obama and all of his minions. Axelrod actually told the truth in the November 23, interview, contrary to the spin.

      • Just A Thought

        Sorry that should have read Carol Sowers’ news report (KHQA 7), not newspaper article.

        • Mandelay

          Save the page before it “disappears….”

  • AF catfish

    Wonder if Bush and Rove watched all this unfold today.

  • rolling_thunder

    PEBO may be having trouble sleeping tonight, restless not from conscience but from consciousness of guilt

    :grin:
    Ya think? Is it even possible :?: How’s this Schizo able to have a consciousness about anything but himself?

    Can we have Hillary or Mac now.

  • CG

    I got two letters signed by Bill Clinton today. I gave a donation to the Clinton Foundation as well as a donation to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund. Bill said that PEBO has asked that the Clinton Foundation publicly share the names of its donors, and he hopes to have my understanding and support as it is necessary because otherwise Hillary would not be Secretary of State, if confirmed. Bill does give a telephone number I can call should I have any questions. My question: Do you think I can suggest that before my name is released on both of these lists that Bill Clinton could have Obama submit and publish his personal job application, the one he is requiring of anyone who joins his administration? Does anyone have a suggestion of a question I can ask?

    “He is a man with tens of thousands of blind followers. It is my business to make some of those blind followers see.”

    – Abraham Lincoln

    …the irony

    • oowawa

      Even more ironic: Lincoln was railing against Stephen Douglas, his opponent for the presidential contest and a Democratic US Senator from the state of Illinois.

      • melissa tx

        Stefan douglas was also black

  • Sam

    WOW!Good work Just A Thought! That article directly opposes Obama’s latest denials! I hate the way he weasels out of everything by just denying it ever happened! That article needs to be sent to every bogus “news” outlet currently reporting that Axelrod “mispoke” when he said that Obama had discussed his replacement with the governer!!!!!

  • Jackarooty

    From Mark Halperin’s blog…

    Also says he expects to be sworn in with his full name: Barack Hussein Obama.

    Hmmm…nobody could say say the dirty word “Hussein” during the campaign season.

  • Lizzy

    I think we should start placing our bets as to what happens first: the Big O’s indictment or inauguration.

  • Sam

    Just A Thought- the link to the Obamaa article where he met with the gov on 11/5 to discuss the vacancy- has been scrubbed from the net- Drudge had it up earlier this afternoon also – now it’s gone from his site as well.
