RNC CHAIRMAN CALLS ON PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA TO DISCLOSE

COMMUNICATION CONCERNING GOVERNOR BLAGOJEVICH

 

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Robert M. “Mike” Duncan released the following statement today.

 

“President-elect Barack Obama’s carefully parsed and vague statements regarding his own contact and that of his team with Governor Rod Blagojevich are unacceptable.  Considering the severity of the allegations against Governor Blagojevich, the President-elect should immediately disclose any and all communications his transition team has had with the governor’s office along with any Service Employees International Union (SEIU) officials involved in the matter.  Obama’s promise of transparency to the American people is now being tested.”
