So does Obama pardon Blago?

[ChkitOut]

when he leaves office? if so I guess he only faces a max of 5 years behind bars. not to bad all things considered.

Although he may have burned his bridges.

Better than even chance I should think.

Only if Blago has some dirt on him. Obama is vengeful and Blago tried to trap him to get out of his predicament.

Bingo. We'll never get the whole story, but unless (and it is a real possibility IMO), Blago's got a bag of goodies on The One, he's going up the river. But we're talkin' #@*^in' Illinois politics here, where dead people learned to vote. Who knows WTF is being made up out of whole cloth.

With a lot of luck, blago and The One will cut eachother's throats and the country will get a twofer and be better off. But I doubt it. If they get that equal in power, one will back down.

I don't think it's news but, there's more where that came from.
