Well That All Depends...

...on how you define the word "contact". Sounds a little like our old friend Billy Clinton and the definition of what the word "is" is.

Barack Obama has gone out of his way to make his incoming administration Clintonesque. Not only has he built 63% of his transition team from Clinton administration officials, he even picked Hillary Clinton for a Cabinet post. Now Obama appears to have restored another Clinton tradition — in word parsing.

“I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening.”

Uh...isn't that you with Gov. Blagojevich on November 12th?

.

Is this anything like parsing the meaning of the word “is”? Obviously, Obama made contact with Blagojevich a week before the statement at the December 2nd NGA conference. Did they discuss the Senate succession? Probably not, but it’s not necessarily out of the question, either.

.

Did Prez Elect Obama have anything to do with this big mess...probably not. This guy Blagojevich seems like he had his own agenda all along. But come one Barack, stop treating us like the drooling spoon feed morons who elected you. You know you had contact with the guy...we know you had contact with the guy. Why not just get in front of this instead of hiding behind "just words"?

The hole story here.
