Report: Photos show Bush with Abramoff
Lobbyist at center of corruption probe pictured with president, Time says.

"The White House has said Bush does not know Abramoff and does not recall meeting him, and that the lobbyist attended two Hannukah receptions and a few staff-level meetings at the White House.

"Abramoff met a few times with White House staff and attended Hanukkah receptions in 2001 and 2002, the White House has said, but officials there have refused to disclose how many times he’s been into the complex or what business he had there.

"The White House also has not released any photos featuring the president and Abramoff, who was declared a Bush “pioneer” for raising at least $100,000 for the Bush-Cheney ’04 re-election campaign.

“Mr. Abramoff admitted being involved in outrageous wrongdoing,” White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Sunday.

“The president does not recall meeting him. We have previously indicated, however, it would not be surprising if the president met him at some of the widely attended events we know they both attended,” she said. “The president has taken tens upon thousands of pictures at such events.”

Attending White House staff meetings. Imagine that. A lobbyist like Abramoff attending White House staff meetings. Now who would have cleared that? And known about it?

There is no end to the corruption. I would anticipate all stops being pulled for the Fall elections - the Rs cannot afford to have a D House or Senate. We'll to to war footing, the public will be scared to death by these people.
