    Do any of you really believe that Blogojevich did not consider Obama's desire to control the Senate appointment of candidate #1 a "Cash Cow" from a campaign awash in excess campaign cash. Come clean Blogo save your self
    jail time and tell the truth about the Obama agents that pased the cash for the Senate seat. Chicago style politics
    are now in the White House.

    CHECK THIS OUT, FOLKS:

    Gov. Rod Blagojevich has thrown down the gauntlet. Speaking to reporters from the site of the Republic Windows sit-down strike, the governor said the state would suspend any business dealings with the Bank of America until it extended credit to the shuttered company. According to :

    We have contacted all of our agencies across state government and as of right now, every agency has been ordered to suspend doing any business with the Bank of America. The Bank of America received $25 billion in taxpayer money as part of the financial bailout. This is exactly, precisely the kind of thing that isn???t right -- when one the one hand, powerful special interests get the help of taxpayer money to bail them out -- the banks -- and yet the purpose of that money was supposed to be to provide a line of credit to businesses like this to keep workers working and keep people employed. And yet the Bank of America has yet to step up and say that they are going to be helpful to this company and keep these workers working. So unless and until they do that, we the state of Illinois will suspend doing any business with the Bank of America and we hope that this kind of leverage and pressure will encourage the Bank of America to do the right thing for this business, take some of that federal tax money that they received, and invest it by providing the necessary credit to this company so these workers can keep their jobs.

    Check back later in the day for more updates.

    UPDATE: According to , state officials will also will ask for a federal court injunction tomorrow to ensure that the Republic Window employees receive the benefits they are owed under federal law.

    COINCIDENTALLY (or was it really?), WITHIN 48 HOURS THE FBI SHOWED UP AND OL' ROD WAS ON HIS WAY TO PRISON. Just in time to save B of A from losing all those Illinois $$$. What a coincidence!

    Blagojevich is going away for a long time over a few mil while the big time crooks make off with $25 billion.

    How intelligent. Ask someone who just won the most powerful position in the world if he would risk it call for a few bucks from a moron. Yeah, hes got a good motive. BTW - Blagojevich was the one accused. Why the obsession with catching Obama out there with something. Wishful thinking?

    You are just another Obama Basher ask meaningful questions that it is legal to answer about things that matter to most people.

    How about,"Your Paternal Grandmother says you were born in Kenya, is she correct, or are you going to throw her under the bus like you did your Maternal Grandmother?"

    If Obama answered any of 2-4 candidly, he could well be interfering with ongoing investigation. If the investigation were to come to a jury trial, Obama's response could render any evidence related to it inadmissible.
