Well, This is Interesting

Ex-Gov Blagojevich wants Obama on the witness stand to undercut convicted influence peddler Tony Rezko's testimony. Rezko was Obama's former patron and real estate fairy. He wants the president to do the undercutting from the witness stand, telling all about his days in Chicago politics, with the midterm November elections approaching. "President Obama has pertinent information as to the character of Mr. Rezko," the Blagojevich filing states. "President Obama can testify to Mr. Rezko's reputation for truthfulness, as well as his own opinion of Mr. Rezko's character. Based on the relationship that President Obama and Mr. Rezko had, President Obama can provide important information as to Mr. Rezko's plan, intent, opportunity, habit and modus operandi." Blackmail?
