Court Papers Claim Obama Lied About Friendship With Blagojevich and Rezko

All week long examples of how we have been lied to by President Obama has been revealed, but not covered by the mainstream media. There was the GM loan payback that was really funded by TARP funds, the CBO report showing that the individual mandate was going to be a hardship on the middle class, and the medicare report showing that Obamacare was going to drive up costs and drive down the number of doctors accepting medicare. The latest lie concerns President Obama's possible misrepresentation of his relationships with former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Tony Rezko.

You remember Tony Rezko? The President seems to be talking about him all the time. Not  by name,  but when the POTUS speaks about the need for regulation and unchecked greed, that lead to the housing/banking crisis, I'm sure he is referring to a land deal created by a State Senator named Obama along with his buddies, Valerie Jarrett and Tony Rezko, that faked the less fortunate to purchase bad housing.

There was a bit of an oops in filing court papers in the Blago case. The court forgot that even if you post papers will some passages blacked out, there is always a way to get rid of the black out and read the entire document:

According to passages in the papers filed Thursday by Blagojevich's lawyers -- which were blacked out under a judge's order but made visible by a computer glitch -- Obama, then president-elect, spoke directly to the disgraced governor on Dec. 1, 2008.

But just one week later -- on the day Blagojevich was indicted -- Obama told reporters flatly, "I had no contact with the governor or his office, and so we were not -- I was not aware of what was happening."

Hey it was seven whole days, the president is a very busy man....maybe he just forgot.

The newly revealed sections also contradict Obama's claims that he never discussed favorable legislative action in exchange for a large campaign contribution with his former neighbor, fund-raiser and key supporter Tony Rezko, who has since been convicted of fraud.

Blagojevich's lawyers charge that Rezko has told the feds that, indeed, he did have such conversations with a "public official." The defense believes the official to be Obama.

Maybe that wasn't the conversation that Rezko had with the president. Maybe Rezko was just calling to find out how the Obamas were enjoying their new back yard purchased by Rezko and then flipped to Obama at a sweet-heart price.

Also contained in the unredacted papers is a claim that, contrary to his denials, Obama did push longtime friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett for his old Senate seat using a union official as a go-between with Blagojevich.

The filing indicates that the union official has testified to federal investigators about a phone call he had with Obama on the day before he won the presidency in which he indicated that Jarrett "would be a good senator for the people of Illinois and would be a candidate who could win re-election."
There are those who say that the Obama administration is just like the Jimmy Carter presidency. I disagree, while both administrations were failures domestically and internationally, at least Carter promised never to lie to us. Obama never made that promise, and now we know why, he doesn't like to make promises that are impossible for him to keep.
