Although Obama is alleged to have told some whoppers since entering public life, there is considerable evidence to support that he made this statement regarding Rod Blagojevich, including the Chicago Tribune.
No, this is another internet rumor, with no truth to it. Mr. Obama has never claimed he only saw Rod Blagojevich once. It should be noted that there is little evidence the two men were close; but because they were both Chicago-based politicians, they used to see each other at political events.
No, Obama was a US senator from Illinois when Blagojevich was Governor there. Of course they met.

No it is an urban legend. What his spokespeople had said at one point is that he had not seen him in a year.
While conceivably there are many more, the contact of most importance is with Rahm Emmanuel, who Blagojevich attempted to bring in as a witness in his impeachment trial. When Emmanuel refused, Blagojevich boycotted the impeachment trial.
They have a connection through Illinois politics and Obama's incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel did have contact with Blagojevich's office concerning the Senate appointment. However, there is no evidence so far that Obama or any of his staff members acted improperly. In fact, Blagoyevich has been recorded complaining that Obama's office is "not willing to give me anything except appreciation."
i dont know who "ron blagojevich" is but rod Blagojevich was the governor of Illinois for 6 years but was impeached 'cuz he tried to sell Barack Obama's senate seat and many other things
While I am sure the president and first lady wish the Ravens well, the two are passionate about cheering for the Chicago teams; and in football, that means the Bears.
he wasn't his brother Rod Blagojevich was and because he did a bunch of illegal stuff
The Chicago Bears.
Barack Obama has never denied knowing the former (corrupt) governor of Illinois; since Mr. Obama was an Illinois state senator when Mr. Blagojevich was in office, he would certainly have met the governor at political events. But contrary to myths found on conservative websites, Mr. Obama was never close friends with Mr. Blagojevich, and there is no evidence they spent much time with each other. There is an internet myth that says Mr. Obama claimed he never met the governor, or in some versions, only met him once. That statement is false: the president has never claimed he didn't know who Rod Blagojevich was, nor did he ever say he only met the governor once. In fact, it was Mr. Obama (then a senator) who worked on some of the ethics legislation that caused problems for Mr. Blagojevich.
