[Hoot Gibson]

It's amazing that somebody redacted parts of a PDF file by "painting" the text black instead of actually deleting the undelying text. I see nothing wrong with Obama giving Blago his opinion about who would make a good replacement US Senator - but Obama is on record as unequivocally stating that he had no contact with Blago on this matter. In other words, it appears that Obama has been caught in another one of his many lies - one where there was really no good reason to lie. Unless Obama is willing to correct the record to match Blago's version of events, then Obama needs to be available to testify or give a deposition under oath.
