| Blagojevich won't go to D.C. for Obama inaugural |
| 2009-01-17 |
| Gov. Rod Blagojevich, worried he would be a "distraction" given the impeachment and criminal charges against him, won't be going to Washington for President-elect Barack Obama's inaugural festivities, a spokesman said today. The governor was invited to several inaugural events, but won't make the trip, Blagojevich spokesman Lucio Guerrero said. "He doesn't want to be a distraction from Obama, and unfortunately he thinks (his presence) would be," he said. One invitation came from the Democratic Governor's Association before Blagojevich's Dec. 9 arrest, Guerrero said. As far as the governor's office knows, the offer hasn't been rescinded. |
