But others took to Blagojevich fairly quickly. Guess who was associated with him?
The same guy who had a fundraiser by Ayers, and a racist preacher:
In the Democratic gubernatorial primary that year, then-state sen. Obama endorsed former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris. But after Blagojevich won, Obama came around enthusiastically.
That, according to ABC news. Its worth noting that Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel had connections too. But, if the article is to be believed:
At the same time, meanwhile, Axelrod had such serious concerns about whether Blagojevich was ready for governing he refused to work for his one-time client.
According to Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., Mr. Obama's incoming White House chief of staff, Emanuel, then-state senator Obama, a third Blagojevich aide, and Blagojevich's campaign co-chair, David Wilhelm, were the top strategists of Blagojevich's 2002 gubernatorial victory.
Just so that you understand:
Obama & Rahm were both aides to Blagojevich. But if we are to believe Obama fans, Obama didn't know about this at all.
He was completely in the dark of how corrupt Blagojevich was.
