" It looks like Team Obama has learned the art of stonewalling already, and he hasn’t even taken the oath of office yet".

That's the last line from Ed Morrissey's post on why the Obama administration is taking so long to release information on Teh One's contacts with crooked Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.

Obama promised several days ago to release the information, but since then, he's been mum on the subject and tried to distract the press with boring announcements for positions we don't care about atm.

I'm hoping the press shows the deference to the Obama administration that has been shown President Bush (that is, none) and dogs Teh One while he attends gym instead of church or checks in at the Washington, D.C. Holiday Inn.

Obama's contacts with Blagojevich may be innocent (and probably are), but dodging the question gives the appearance of wrongdoing and, regardless of what Media Matters tries to say, the appearance of wrongdoing gets scrutiny, too.
