Barak Schultz?

I don't believe that Obama expressly condoned Gov. Blagojevich (D - IL) trying to sell his Senate seat. At the end of ¶104 FBI Agent Daniel Cain's affidavit states: "ROD BLAGOJEVICH said that he knows that the President-elect wants Senate Candidate 1 [Valerie Jarrett] for the Senate seat 'but they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation...'".

However, I am bothered by Obama's claim that he "had no contact with the governor" and "was not aware of what was happening".

This is not the first time that he's adopted a Sergeant Schultz-like posture regarding his associates. For instance, he claimed not to know about his aunt's immigration status, Bill Ayers' history, Reverend Wright's sermons, or even that "Tony" Rezko was a slumlord.

Is this what we're getting in the oval office — a man whose instincts have him turn a blind eye to things he didn't want seen?

Sí se puede

It seems that some Spaniards hope for some good shit from our presumptive president-elect. Apparently in Catalonia, they hide these little caganers i.e. shitters (wouldn't defecators would be called defacadores?) in Nativity scenes then invite friends and family to find them.

If you really want one, you can buy it from El Caganer.
