#TCOT Team Obama lying again?

Yesterday I posted that David Axelrod said that Obama has talk with Blagojevich, but no decisions have been made yet about Obama's replacement. Now Axelrod has says that he was mistaken in the interview. Why has it taken so long for him to come out to 'correct' his statement? If the Blagojevich scandal hadn't come out, would Axelrod's statement stood as is? Something a smelling worse every day.
