I think people are justified in seeing Gov. Rod Blagojevich for what he really is, and going a step further, pointing it out to a lot of people. He's a man who has made a pretty serious bunch of mistakes, but I'm amazed at how many people are still linking this to President-elect Barack Obama, and then allowing ridiculous amounts of word wars to ensue. It became a contest to see who speaks with the accused governor less frequently. The point is that one, obviously Blagojevich and Obama have had some interaction, having been part of the Illinois government, but two, it doesn't mean that Obama is somehow a tainted character because he spoke to the man.
Anyways, the thought just came to me after something about the Illinois governor was on in the 10 o'clock news and my mom threw up her hands and proclaimed "well that bodes well for this presidency!"
