In the days following President Obama's election, his now-chief of staff Rahm Emanuel
wanted then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich to appoint a longtime ally to fill his 5th Congressional District seat. There was also discussion of a possible cabinet position. Emanuel didn't know at the time that Blagojevich didn't have authority to make the appointment.

Hope Blagojevich is still Rock'n the USA or his political and legal agendas. Was the pits that he was so wrongly attacked. Look forward to more of his economic theories to be applied to the economic crisis. He's really solved a lot of economic and educational problems as former governor.
