Obama Calls for Blagojevich's Head

Before even taking office, President-Elect Obama has made a good move, calling for a former colleague to step down. In the face of the scandal involving Obama's Senate seat, Governor Rod Blagojevich of Illinois, is in the middle of another corruption scandal.

"The president-elect agrees with [Illinois] 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," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

Good for the President-Elect. Unfortunately, he was part of the same Illinois cesspool as Blagojevich. Hopefully this means that Obama will put in double time to clean up Washington.
