Answer 1

Obama is seeking to distance himself form those who might be future cell mates

Answer 2

lol.............

Answer 3

Is he a democrat? BTW: The Huffing Post is a pathetic piece of liberal trash - not a good source.

Answer 4

Previous engagement to put it delicately.

Answer 5

Maybe the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, will be sharing a cell with the previous governor of New York, Spitzer.

The Democrats sure have had their share of bad luck with the liberals in their party.

When are the real Democrats, moderates and conservatives going to stand up, and quit letting the liberals take over?

Answer 6

Because the Governor is still in a budget battle with the state legislature and may be needed at the State House.

Answer 7

Too many snakes together make a nest of them.
