I am oddly going to give Obama the benefit of the doubt on this one. Should he have been more open about Emanuel talking with Blagojevich? Sure. But, I can also see why he would want to shy away from during the transition period. I do believe that it will all eventually come down on Blagojevich and his chief of staff.
As for Obama, I think his greatest fault in this and much of Illinois's "interesting" political ways and means is turning a blind eye.
And, that is about the best backhanded compliment I can give him in regard to all of this.
