Blagojevich was the governor for two years while Obama was a state senator. Blagojevich had to sign or veto the laws that Obama and his colleagues passed. Then Obama was a U.S. Senator for four years while Blagojevich was still the governor. Their are numeous pictures of them together.
tony rezko and obama also had a relationship, with rezko raizing over 10 million for o's senate election...their relationship also included a very suspect property transaction that IMO has never been properly aired out. as well, in the 90s rezko profitted hansomely off of a housing project deal that obama was in major support of. The rabit hole with rezko and obama, imo, goes deep
I was hoping Rezko would tell the dirt on obama but so far he has not, a book deal once he is out of the clink? would be a blockbuster
Jesse Jackson Jr and obama were also political allies and social associates (he was obamas 2008 election chairmen)...and imo obama and jesse conspired to hand o's senate seat to jesse...
The gov ryan example was used to demonstrate how pervasive chicago corruption is...
With all that being said, plus the man's other suspect relationships (ayers, frank davis, etc), i do not think it is a stretch to be suspicious of the man, esp considering the city that politically raised him.
the fact that you don't see any of this is of no surprize to me, you have sold your objectivity out
