original description

The president-elect makes a brief statement on the Illinois Governor's arrest after meeting with former VP Al Gore in Chicago Tuesday. "I had no contact with the governor or his office so I was not aware of what was happening. As I said it's a sad day for Illinois. Beyond that I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment." Also says he was "saddened and sobered" by the news. Watch video above. Read pool report here. Plus: RNC Chair Duncan calls Obama's comments "insufficient at best." Full statement here. And: Politico on how the scandal will test Obama. Update: Obama strategist Axelrod says he was "mistaken" when he stated that Obama had spoken with Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy.
