barry camp evolving statements re: Blagojevich

December 10, 2008

barry on blagojevich (12-9). Take careful note of the "we" changing to "I". He's already separating himself and preparing to throw whomever he needs to under the bus. Gibbs may be ok with that. Valerie Jarrett and Axelrod - no way. barry took only one question and again like 3-3-08 the proobmedia let him get away with it...not much longer. If he continues obamanating on this - something he needs to talk about - they'll be waiting like jackals on Jan 21st. I have a feeling his daily laudatory press conferences have just come to an end.

I don't think Gore signed up for this. Rerun of Mr Bill. He keeps his game face on though.

BARRY: I am saddened and sobered by the news that came out of the US Attorneys office today. But as this is an ongoing investigation involving the governor, I don't think it will be appropriate for me to comment on the issue at this time.

BARRY: I had no contact [shakes head] with the governor, uh, or his office, uh, and so we were not, uh I-I-I was not aware of uh, [looks down and to the right = lie] what was happening. And as I said, it-it was a sad day, uh, for Illinois and beyond that I don't think it's appropriate to comment.

Some comments by barry's minions from CNN:

ROBERT GIBBS:

(12-9) We did not know about this recent part of the investigation until today."

(12-10) The president-elect agrees with [Illinois] Lt. Gov. [Pat] Quinn and many others that under the current circumstances it is difficult for the governor to effectively do his job and serve the people of Illinois.

[Obama believes the lawmakers should] put in place a process to select a new senator that will have the trust and confidence of the people of Illinois.

Senior Senator from IL DICK DURBIN in a letter to Blag:

Beyond guilt or innocence, the charges against you raise serious questions about your ability to carry out your duties as chief executive of our state.

(12-10) It's a sad day for my state.

Illinois State Senator MIKE JACOBS:

(12-10) I'm not sure he's playing with a full deck anymore.

AXELROD on FOX (11-23-08). Maybe that's why he's been in hiding.

I know he's talked to the governor, and there are a whole range of names, many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.

(12-9-08) I was mistaken when I told an interviewer last month that the President-elect has spoken directly to Governor Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy. They did not then or at any time discuss the subject.

He can no longer use his favorite Template 101: That is not what The American People want to hear. He used Template 101: I was mistaken.
