    • New York Times Tags : Blagojevich, Obama Senate seat Posted: Thursday , Jan 01, 2009 at 0108 hrs

    Obama, on vacation in Hawaii and who, aides said, was surprised by the news of the appointment, issued a statement condemning the move.

    "Roland Burris is a good man and a fine public servant, but the Senate Democrats made it clear weeks ago that they cannot accept an appointment made by a governor who is accused of selling this very Senate seat," Obama said. "I agree with their decision, and it is extremely disappointing that Governor Blagojevich has chosen to ignore it."
