| Description | The chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) said Tuesday afternoon that President-elect Obama's comments on the arrest of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich do not go far enough addressing the relationship between the two men.
Hours after Blagojevich was arrested by federal authorties for an array of corruption charges, including an effort to see profit in exchange for Obama's recently vacated Senate seat, Obama told reporters that he has had "no contact" with the troubled governor and he was unaware of what was going on.
RNC Chairman Robert "Mike" Duncan said in a statement that Obama's "comments on the matter are insufficient at best."
"Given the president-elect's history of supporting and advising Gov. Blagojevich, he has a responsibility to speak out and fully address the issue," Duncan said. |
