Governor didn’t sound like himself

I listened to Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s news conference yesterday and I thought the governor was missing his usual passion.

Whether you like the governor or not, he’s usually energetic and colorful when he makes a speech. Yesterday’s event was a near monotone.

Maybe the job is wearing on him or maybe he’s decided a low-key approach might serve him better during this round against Speaker of the House Mike Madigan.

I would guess the former because of the Rezko trial and ongoing federal investigations.

Later today I”m expecting a call from Deputy Gov. Bob Greenlee, who will talk more about the budget.
