Mayor Daley: "I knew Emmanuel was going to have to go through all this and Blago... well, Blago was... But I never wanted this for you. I live my life, I don't apologize to take care of my family. And I refused to be a fool dancing on the strings held by all of those big shots. That's my life I don't apologize for that. But I always thought that when it was your time that you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator Obama. President Elect Obama. Something."

obama:
guys, guys, i have this great new song on my zune. my wife turned me onto them, a band called Stealers Wheel. Have you heard of them? let me sing a bar or two for you....

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

blago: ....
daley: .... so true

Obama provided documentary proof that he had never met or knew Gov. Blagojevich with the photo that clearly shows his eyes were shut.

Obama is replaying his Rev. Wright defense with his denial that he never saw anything controversial about the governor.

Based on his smile, I think we know what was in it for Obama.

CObama is fulfilling his campaign slogan of 'Change you can believe in' by ensuring that there will be a complete change in the names of the people indicted during his administration compared to the 61 indicted under the Clinton administration.
