A1. It's not Obama's fault that Blagojevish is corrupt
A2. I don't believe that Obama was connected in any way to the scandal.
A3. Just because Obama came from the state of Illinois doesn't mean he is associated with this jerk.
A4. Gov. Blagojevich is responsible for his own actions. Obama is not responsible for the governor.
A5. There is no available evidence that Obama had any role. Moreover, the tape recordings show that Blagojevich was angry at the Obama camp because he did not believe that they would offer him anything for chosing a particular person as senator.
A6. My opinion of Obama was already negative.
A7. I bel;ieve he was not involved in the scandal.
A8. This has nothing to do with Obama. It seems that many Illinois Governors are corrupt. Rep and Dem alike.
A9. I still don't think very highly of Obama.
A10. it doesn't affect my opinion of obama
A11. I don't have no high opinion for obama in the first place
A12. Obama is not even remotely implicated in the Blagojevich affair.
A13. Obama is the man!
A14. I have never liked Obama so my opinion has not changed I live in Springfield Illinois and everyone here has always hated the govenor infact we all call him blagoabitch hopefully Obama will be indited too
A15. It does not directly involve Obama and don't believe he should be held responsible for another man actions
A16. Obama is not responsible for the actions of the Illinois governor.
A17. Blagojevich and Obama weren't hanging around each other a lot; his idiocy doesn't reflect on Obama.
A18. No real connection between the two.
A19. Obama wasn't involed, Blagojevich is to blame.
A20. I believe in Obama and trust he knew nothing of what the Governor was doing
A21. I do not think Obama had anything to do with this.
A22. Obama was not involved, so no reason to change opinion
A23. obama is elected for to do good things
A24. I do not believe Obama is involved with this scandal.
A25. another guy
A26. There is so much corruption in politics that not one individual person should be targeted.
A27. do not think Obama had anything to do with it
A28. My opinion of Obama does not change because he was not selling his own seat, which he couldn't have done anyways. It negatively affects my view of the governor.
A29. Theres no evidence Obama was involved
A30. This issue is specific to the govenor. Unless evidence is found otherwise this doesn't effect Obama
A31. I don't know anything about the scandal.
A32. On the audio tape Obama was cleared of all blame. Blagojevich was angry that the Obama camp wouldn't do offer anything.
A33. My opinion of Obama is not affected, as the governor made statements on the wiretaps indicating a disdain for Obama, calling him various expletives. Additionally, I believe Obama had no role in the governor's attempts to fill his vacated senate seat.
A34. I don't believe he is involved in any way with what the Illinois governor is accused of. He may have given a recommendation, but that is as far as I believe he is involved. I did not vote for Obama, but do really believe that he would be involved in som
A35. I find no information that affects my opinion.
A36. I didn't think much of Barak Obama being President so it really doesn't bother me.
A37. This news doesn't surprise me; I expect things like this out of politicians.
A38. I didn't know that Blagojevich had that much contact with Obama
A39. Barack Obama has nothing to do with Blagojevich and his scandal.
A40. There is no evidence that Obama or those close to him knew of or supported Blagojevich's effort.
A41. He is in no way involved.
A42. Obama is a clean as we can every hope to get in an elected official.
A43. I did not think Obama would make a good president before the election and I still feel that way. I don't think Obama can be held responsible for the actions of all elected officials in the US.
A44. I don't feel that the governor was really involved with Obama. Just because that guy is playing dirty does not mean that Obama is too.
A45. There is no evidence that Obama had any involvement; the fact that they're from the same state is purely coincidental.
A46. I do not believe that he or his staff are involved, and I voted for him because I believe in him and have faith in him.
B1. I want to believe he had nothing to do with it.
B2. he was associated with Ayers, Wright and now Blagojevich. Who's next?
B3. I don't feel there is any way the Sen. from Illinois could not know what the Governor was doing. They have to have many friends/acquaintences in common
B4. The corruption in Chicago is well know, some of it has to rub off on Obama
