Will Blagojevich Corruption Trial Touch Obama

Among the 24 counts of fraud, conspiracy, bribery and racketeering that could land Blagojevich a long prison sentence are charges he dangled President Barack Obama’s vacant U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder or demanded a cabinet post for himself in exchange for naming an Obama aide to the seat.

Judge James Zagel of the U.S. District Court ruled out a defense request to have Obama testify. But among those who may take the stand are senior White House staffers Rahm Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, U.S. Senator Richard Durbin, and U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. READ MORE AT SOURCE

I think Obama should have to testify just as Clinton had to in his impeachment trial, what makes Obama above the law? Now that there are other cases of Obama offering jobs to candidates not to run for office it shows a pattern of crimes by the Obama administration!

UPDATE APRIL 30: Blagojevich’s lawyers asked a federal judge to subpoena the president to testify about questions surrounding the government’s allegation that Blagojevich was selling or trading Obama’s Senate seat

The blacked-out portions of a subpoena request filed by lawyers for former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich — which were revealed through a simple computer trick suggest President Obama may have played a role in finding his own Senate replacement.

On Thursday, Blagojevich’s lawyers asked a federal judge to subpoena the president to testify about questions surrounding the government’s allegation that Blagojevich was selling or trading Obama’s Senate seat after his election to the White House in November 2008.

“President Barack Obama has direct knowledge of the Senate seat allegation,” reads Blagojevich’s 11-page motion, filed with U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel.

Lawyers for Blagojevich also subpoenaed Sen. Dick Durbin.

Stand by people, looks as if this could get interesting and we could find out how big a radical crook we have as a president! We where told over and over that Obama was a radical socialist politician during the campaign and he still got voted into the White House, now that we can see that he really is the most radical socialist president will we vote him out of the White House in 2012 or will we be stupid enough to give him 4 more years to turn our great Country into a European style socialist one!

UPDATE April 30: A federal judge in Chicago has refused to issue a subpoena for President Barack Obama to testify at former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s political corruption trial.
