President-elect Obama promised to bring "openness and transparency to government" throughout his campaign. Yet his response to the Rod Blagojevich scandal in Illinois has been anything but and his transition team has refused to respond to even basic questions.
Obama has sent confused mixed signals by saying neither he nor his staff was involved but also says he is still gathering facts.
It's become more apparent with every day that someone on his staff, likely Rahm Emanuel, did have conversations with the disgraced governor. Obama told us he was a "different kind of politician."
It's time that he act like one and convince us he is not just another politician from the Chicago Machine.
