Poor Rod.He's not getting out anytime soon. He still thinks he was right.

His fourteen years will be shortened.  It was an obscene sentence driven by a media frenzy.  I met him at a golf outing for a title company at Elmhurst cc in the early eighties when he had just got out of law school, and he was handling the hole in one prize where you won a car if you made a hole in one......I missed.  He married well and got a ticket into the machine, and then he crossed them......he was doomed the moment he took on the machine.   He should be released for time served.  He is simply a blowhard like Trump who thought he was bullet proof.   He was not that bright and he too thought he was going to run for President.

Another of semi-retired President Obama's close business associates doing time. Go figure!

They weren't close at all.

Your ignorance is just non stop this evening.......first it was saying McCain said to stay in Iran, and now saying that President Obama was close with Rod when Senator Jones who was a sworn enemy of Rod's was his mentor.....can you get anything else incorrect this evening.

Blago was insanely jealous of Obama and was very pissed when he had to introduce him at the Democratic Convention to speak. Blago wasn't even asked to speak.

Rod Blagojevich was a regular client of the law firm where semi-retired President Obama worked.

Blagojevich's wife was the Realtor President Obama used to buy his mansion in Chicago with the financial help, of felon, Tony Rezko.

And I bought my truck at Sandy Sansings but gladly we're not drinking buddies. Never met him.

Why are guys with funny hair idiots ?

Blagojevich's wife was the Realtor

You do Know who her father was, and yes the Tony did make a loan on the house deal which was smelly as hell, but again Rod and the President were never close, and I have told stories on the PNJ where Emil Jones and Rod used to get in screaming matches in front of a friend who was the Republican house leader and he would just sit back as fast eddie, rod, and Emil almost got in fist fights.  Your statement that Rod was close to the President is polar opposite the truth.  If you had stated that a felon and shady character like Tony was close to both of them.....yes, that would be truthful.
