According to CNN, 36 percent of people agree with me that that's the bottom line on the behavior of President-elect Barack Obama and his staff, regarding his staff's contacts with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his staff on Blago naming somebody to fill Obama's Senate seat.
I have said all along that Obama, himself, not just his staff, handled communications on the Blagosphere stupidly. And, stupidly to the point of giving the appearance, at least, of unethical behavior.
Of course, MSLBs are already posting ... nothing ... about the CNN poll. Are you surprised?
As for the Obama report on an internal review of his staff's behavior, as I predicted, it won't come out until late enough to be largely buried under Christmas stories. And, it's only going to be about a dozen paragraphs, the Times says, so, it's not going to say anything, anyway.
Wait for the skeptical antennae of those 36 percenters to go up.
As I noted a week ago, here's what Obama should have said right away. The fact that he didn't made MY skeptical antennae go up.
Meanwhile, besides "MSLB," look for a new acronym to be unveiled here Dec. 26.
