Obama Team Starts to Stonewall

I mean the guy isn't even sworn in yet and this scandal has blown wide open and is sucking the air out of everything. Now the Obama camp is going to ground.

Obama's staff has declined to respond to even basic questions, like who is conducting the probe, how long it will take, what issues are being explored and whether they are working with federal investigators. Obama has promised transparency throughout his service and to divulge contacts his staff has had with Blagojevich's office in the coming days. But his staff has locked down on inquiries in the meantime.

The scary part though is that Blagojevich might turn over the hornets nest if he decides to make a deal in order to get out of jail time. I mean this guy is a nutjob and decided to auction off Obama's seat even though he knew he was under investigation at the time. Those kind of guys could be capable of anything when cornered. He might be a thorn in Obama's side for months and months depending on what he does.
