"Obama has long distanced himself from the governor of his home state -- who has been under investigation on other issues for years -- but Blagojevich's arrest was a likely embarrassment to the president-elect. Obama said he was "saddened and sobered" by the news and has not been aware of the alleged efforts to sell the Senate seat he vacated"
"The governor also tried to extort the Chicago Tribune, one of the countrie's leading newspapers, into firing editorial writers who were critical of him, federal prosecutors said."
