As the President-elect vacations in Hawaii, his transition team released a 5-page report emphasizing that Barack Obama had "no contact with Gov. Rod Blagojevich or his office and no one acting on Obama's behalf was involved in any 'quid pro quo' arrangement the governor allegedly sought for filling the vacant Senate seat with a candidate of Obama's choosing," according to Chicago Breaking News. Is it worth noting that the report was issued late on Christmas Eve Eve? The report says that incoming White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel had one or two conversations with Blago, but apparently the conversations were above board. From Politico: "The report does not say so, but an Obama adviser told Politico that at least one of Emanuel's calls was taped as part of the federal investigation into corruption in the governor's office."

It seems as if they are stressing the whole "filling the vacant Senate seat" thing, which makes me think that there was some more Chicago politics going on with other unrelated stuff.
I have a sneaking suspicious that every article Jen posts about Obama will feature a picture with him without his shirt.
Who's the white guy in the photo?
Vin Diesel
I am so glad we have a "Rockstar" president!
Obama should start selling calendars filled with pictures of himself to raise bailout money.
Jen- Excellent use of Obama's vacation pix.
i hope pres elect Obama and mrs Obama get lumps of coal for christmas.
Our next President sure has a lot of questionable associations...
Can you imagine the uproar if Obama and Blago were Republicans?
"HITLER!" "FASCISTS!"
"HE'S INVESTIGATING HIMSELF! GIVE US A BREAK!"
PS - re the "candid" vacation beefcake:- since the Secret Service would have KILLED anyone getting close enough to shoot that pic without authorization, we now know that like everything else about THE ONE, it was STAGED.
