Via Media Matters, CNN's Campbell Brown has a fairly silly commentary comparing Obama's response to questions about the Blagojevich scandal to the Bush presidency's handling of responses to similar questioning. One major difference is that Obama is being questioned about matters relating to an ongoing investigation which his campaign has been asked not before the full report by the campaign is released next week. Except for the Valerie Plame invsetigation, that was not the case with the Bush administration.
