Obama Lied, His Supporters Cried

Television station KHQA reported that B. Obama met with Governor Blagojevich shortly after the election to discuss his replacement for the US Senate seat he was vacating.

QUINCY, IL -- Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.

Obama met with Governor Rod Blagojevich earlier this week to discuss it. Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement. There's already been speculation about his selection...from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Junior to Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.

Duckworth made an appearance in Saturday's Veterans' parade in Quincy. We asked her about the possibility of filling Obama's seat.

"The Governor's office confirmed yesterday that he is considering me and I am deeply honored jus to be considered. I hope whoever is selected is someone who is willing to travel around the state and gets to know this wonderful state. I'm just honored to be considered," Duckworth said.

I guess Axelrod was telling the truth and Obama lied when he said he never talked with Blagojevich about the Senate seat. In fact you can listen to him lying if your interest is sufficiently prurient.

That is so disappointing. The Smartest President Ever™ lied. And with Nobel Prize winner and former Next President of the United States Al Gore siting right next to him. Not to mention soon to be Vice President Joe Biden. And so many reporters witnessed it.

He had better start doing a better job of covering his tracks or he will not last a year in office. And to think I thought he was telling the truth. I'll never make that mistake again.

This seems to be unraveling much faster than the Second Rate Burglary did. I am so looking forward to the "I am not a crook" speech. I'm sure the Smartest President Ever™ will deliver it well. He is a graduate of Harvard you know. Not some podunk school in Idaho.

H/T to Instapundit for this update.

It seems that station KHQA has deleted the story from their www site. JammieWearingFool has the details along with a screen shot and a link to Gateway Pundit. May I suggest you contact khqa@khqa.com and let them know what you think.

I really do not understand why The Big O is lying on this. Blagojevich is a criminal who was caught on tape calling Obama a mother-penetrator, or some synonym thereof. Sounds to me, from the wire, that Blagojevich demanded a quid pro quo and Obama refused. Score +1 for Obama.

But then Obama says he never spoke with Blagojevich about the Senate seat. Axelroad said he did. A TV news report said he did. Logic and common sense would dictate that he would. Yet Obama emphatically -- at least as emphatically as he can when he's ummm-ummming without a teleprompter -- Obama emphatically denied ever talking to Blago about the Senate seat. Then Axelrod recants. Up to that point, Axelrod was coming off as something of a hero since he refused to work on the slimeball Blago campaign. And Rahm Emmanual recants about his involvement in the Blago campaign.

Why is Obama lying? Of course, he can because the media is covering his exposed ass on this one. So he can, but, still, why should he? This is a weird one.
