Obama: Blago Should Resign

Rod Blagojevich is now officially under the presidential bus. According to his spokesman, Barack Obama believes that the Illinois governor should resign. “The president-elect agrees with Lt. Governor Quinn and many others that under the current circumstances it is difficult for the Governor to effectively do his job and serve the people of Illinois,” spokesman Robert Gibbs said. Gibbs also said that the Illinois General Assembly should implement a process to appoint a new senator, rather than leaving it up to Blagojevich.
