He Said, He Said, They Said

I notice that a report at ABC News claims that Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel supposedly made only one call to corrupt Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, and even then the call had nothing to do with Obama's vacant Senate seat.

Blago, on the other hand, claims through his aids that he regularly took calls from Emanuel.

Looks like a clear case of he said, he said.

Except for one small consideration.

They said, that is, the FBI, that surveillance tapes reveal at least 21 conversations between the 2 concerning the vacant Senate seat and other political matters.

If these tapes do, in fact, exist, then perhaps the only thing that will matter is the content of the tapes. This will determine if a clear connection can be established between Blago's attempt to sell the Senate seat and the Obama team.

I find much with which to criticize the Bush administration, but I am sure that I am not the only one who remembers what Bush promised during the Plame "scandal", and what he did when Libby's name was produced.

If Obama won't make a similar promise, and follow through with it, then he is less trustworthy than Bush. We should all adjust our expectations accordingly.

2 things Obama has shown consistently:

1. The ability to mesmerize and hypnotize the masses into following after him.

2. The inability to keep his word on anything.
