There is no doubt in my mind, Soetoro did much worse. Until there was actual money involved, it was just talk.Soetoro aka obama his house, michelle's job pay to play new title as VP with that job, illegal campaign contributios, illegal votes, campaining for another country, odingo, murder of church members ect.. This case is chump change compared to soetoro.

At times like this, politicians in Blagojevich's situation naturally believe they're being treated unfairly. The benchmark for this analysis has always been Ted Kennedy. The guy attends a drunken orgy, leaves with a woman other than his wife, drives the car off a bridge, saves himself, leaves drowning woman behind, returns to the little inn where he was spending the night and greets other guests as if nothing had ever happened, the body is found, Kennedy family damage control kicks into gear, special treatment given by law enforcement, money paid to victim's family and the problem disappears. This drove Nixon crazy. For God's sake, Ted Kennedy killed a woman he would lament. Nobody died in Watergate! Just the way politics is played. They stole the election in 1960. And they want to hang me? Sen. Bob Packwood acts boorish around a few female staffers and he's forced out of the Senate, even while Kennedy continued years of womanizing after the Kopechne tragedy. Bill Clinton is caught in a big sex scandal a short time later and it's no big deal we're told. Life isn't fair. And politics is even more unfair. Blagojevich knows he hasn't done anything worse than most of the guys calling for his head right now, including President-elect Obama. The only thing that matters in these situations is whether the powers-that-be say it's time to go. And when they say you've got to go, the game is over. End of story.

Deny Deny Deny, eventually people will believe it, and its doesn't hurt to bring in positive moves to take away from the real issue. Hes brilliant gotta give him that. Now its time "The People" become just as brilliant.
