BREAKING NEWS: Federal Complaint Outlines Obama’s Involvement

[EDITED: Dec. 09, 2008 1:31 PM]

According to a 76-page federal affidavit filed against Gov. Rod Blagojevich, the Gov. was told by an Obama aide he [Obama] would give Blagojevich’s wife a job in exchange for Obama’s pick (apparently Valerie Jarrett) for his own vacated Senate seat.

If Blagojevich accepted Obama’s terms, Obama’s pick (Jarrett) would have been chosen for the empty Senate seat.

But Blagojevich is heard on tape complaining bitterly and hurling expletives at Obama allegedly because Obama wouldn’t offer cash for Obama’s pick for his own Senate seat — only a job for Blagojevich’s wife!:

The FBI affidavit said Blagojevich had been told by an adviser “the President-elect can get ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife on paid corporate boards in exchange for naming the President-elect’s pick to the Senate. Told by two other advisers he has to “suck it up” for two years, the FBI says it heard Blagojevich complain he has to give this “motherf***er [Obama] his Senator. F*** him. For nothing? F*** him.”
