Obama said about nothing new today on the Blagosphere
In his presser today, Obama didn't really answer any of a number of questions related to the contacts between his TEAM and Blago's ADMINISTRATION, beginning with not talking about contacts between subordinates of the two, the timeline of Obama opting to give Jarrett a WH job rather than see her connected to the Senate seat, etc.
I'm not saying Obama's done anything wrong; I'm just saying he's said nothing new about what he knows/doesn't, when he did/didn't, who he told/didn't, why/why not, etc.
As for his press candor, he -- and even more, incoming press secretary Gibbs, can play their communications cards just as close to the vest as BushCo.
Let me add, for people not familiar with where I come from, I'm a registered independent left-liberal who voted Green - Green, not Nader, no less - in the last two presidential elections, so before you say so, I'm not trolling.

Ok you're not trolling. But what are you doing? What's your point?
He said he has asked his team to compile all contacts, if any with Blago and his administration and would be releasing in the next two days. He said he personally had had no contact.

Not sure what your point is either, but I'll say this: I don't buy for a second that if you are candid with the Press, they'll back off. Just this afternoon at the press conference a reporter asked Obama why he didn't repeat the call for Blago's resignation today as he did yesterday. Huh?!*? If Obama had said on day one that someone did speak with Blago - the media would still be asking what did he know and when did he know it? The Press and people in general love a scandal. They love to speculate about what went on behind closed doors no matter you tell them. Blago said Obama would not play ball and Fitzgerald said Obama did nothing wrong and that is good enough for me. I can't wait to see what we will be speculating about next.
