I'm not going to dress this up, or even have an intro leading up to this point, I'm just going to come out and say it: I am bothered by Barack Obama's ability to "play dumb" any time there is some sort of scandal that arrives with someone either close to him, or that he has associated with in the past.
The most recent string of not knowing is in regards to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. As can be seen in this article from Bloomberg.com, Obama states “I had no contact with the governor or his office and so I was not aware of what was happening."
Maybe he is telling the truth, maybe he is just avoiding it. However, Obama senior advisor David Axelrod states in a Fox News interview on November 23, 2008 that Obama had been in contact with the Governor (see this article from ABC News). Then the Obama camp says that Axelrod "mispoke" in regards to any conversation ever taking place between Obama and Blagojevich. I am sick and tired of these people saying one thing until problems arise and then immediately denying or denouncing anything that was said in the past.
It's also funny that magically, Tony Rezko's name seems to pop up once again in this scandal involving the Illinois Governor. There is another questionable Barry association that may or may not be linked to Obama, but people are just passing it off as if it's nothing.
How many associations does Barry have to continually cover up? When it was Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama claimed that he was never aware of any controversial teachings or sayings going on in that Chicago church which he attended for 20 years. (See this article from ABC News to reference, or just do a google search on the subject).
In regards to Bill Ayers, the story has changed numerous times...from a guy who just lived in the neighborhood, to just two guys serving on a community education board together, to even Ayers saying that Obama is a close family friend. There was a list posted from the AP in regards to Obama's questionable associations that mentions Bill Ayers and references when he said they hardly knew each other. Well? Which is it?
My point is that it seems very troublesome to me that Barry Obama continually just has no clue what's going on around him while he's in Chicago. If this guy is so unaware of everything that's going on in a city of around 2.9 million people, how in God's name am I supposed to hope that he will be able to effectively run the country? In regards to National Security, you can't just "not know" or be "unaware" of things going on in the world. You have to be one hundred percent on top of your game.
Once again, it seems as if there is stuff right in front of the American public's face, but the right questions are not being asked. How much more stuff does this guy have to be unaware of? Will he ever own up to knowing anything?
Now, I understand the Obama-maniacs will just dismiss this off as junk conversation, as their savior can do no wrong. However, I have said before (as you can find in earlier blogs on this site) that Obama's associations should without a doubt be questioned. I am not surprised at what's going on in the news, just saddened by the entire thing.
Playing dumb can only get you so far, eventually you will have to own up to your actions and associations - no matter who you are.

"BOB" is the President elect, he has not done anything for anyone yet. Ever.
Where do you think the cash for "Grant Funds" (whatever that means) comes from?......
That's right , the small percentage of Americans paying the biggest part of the tax burden.
Wake up. It's not what the Political Elite do for you that matters long term, it's what you do for yourself and your family.
Try these 3 words out as a mantra...."I am responsible", over and over until you understand and believe it, then go out and succeed.
Maybe 'BOB' IS innocent of any wrongdoing here but, if you hang around with enough sewer rats you eventually smell like shit yourself.
