I mentioned a few days ago that Hillary was using Obama as a sheild, that the two of them were going to take all the air out of the Democrat primary races… but that she was going to need some means of controlling Obama, eventually.
Looks like she may have found it.
CHICAGO (AP) – An intern in Sen. Barack Obama’s office last year was recommended by an Illinois Democratic fundraiser later indicted for seeking kickbacks on government deals.
Obama has denied doing any favors for Antoin “Tony” Rezko, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him. The internship was one of 98 Illinois spots filled from a pool of 350 applicants.
John Aramanda, a 20-year-old student, served in Obama’s Capitol Hill office from July 20 to Aug. 26, 2005, and was paid an $804 stipend, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs told the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times in reports published Sunday.
Gibbs said Rezko recommended the intern to Obama but contended that the internship did not contradict Obama’s statements about not doing any favors for Rezko.
And I promise I’ll respect you in the morning. In fact, I’ll respect you even more.
Just use more whipped cream.
