Angry Blagojevich says on tape, ‘I get nothing’ (Obama was “all take and no give”)
CHICAGO – An angry Rod Blagojevich is heard ripping into Barack Obama on FBI tapes played Wednesday at his corruption trial, calling the newly elected president “all take and no give” for ignoring his overtures about an alleged deal that the Illinois governor hoped would secure his financial future.
“I get nothing,” Blagojevich thunders. At another point, sounding desperate to assure himself of enough money after leaving the governor’s office, he rails against Obama and his aides, saying, “The arrogance of these people.”
In the days after the November 2008 election, the Blagojevich heard on tape seems determined to secure a high-paying job for himself outside Illinois government.
.. testimony at the trial, now in its fourth week, has suggested that all Blagojevich got was a message from Obama’s camp that the new president would be “thankful and appreciative” if Jarrett were named to the Senate seat from Illinois.
