Obama urges Blagojevich to resign!

AP. This also warranted it's own post!
President-elect Barack Obama called for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to resign on Wednesday, hours after the embattled governor reported for work amid charges he plotted to sell Obama's vacant Senate seat. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are warning Blagojevich not to name a replacement for Obama, hinting they may refuse to allow his choice to take the Senate seat.

Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said the president-elect agrees with other prominent politicians in Illinois and elsewhere that "under the current circumstances, it is difficult for the governor to effectively do his job and serve the people of Illinois."
A BIG mess right now!
