Not even in office yet. It's gonna be like the Clinton years, a different scandal every month. By the time he leaves office the only one we'll be able to remember, is the last one.

Nothing, yet? His current shit storm is how to throw his pals under the bus without getting hit himself.
The Governor is on tape saying that Obama backers were not going to be involved with paying him for the seat http://www.reuters.com/article/vcCandidateFeed2/idUSTRE4B87N420081209 A Senate seat, "is a (expletive) valuable thing, you just don't give it away for nothing," the document cited him as saying. A week after the election, the charges cite a conversation with his chief of staff, John Harris, in which Blagojevich said he knew that backers of Obama wanted "Senate Candidate 1" for the open seat but "they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. F**k- them." Blagojevich is meant to fill the Senate seat that Obama vacated soon after his election win. Both men are Democrats, although Obama had long kept his distance from the governor of his home state. Fitzgerald said there was no evidence of any discussions between Obama and Blagojevich on the open Senate seat.
