Did he lie?
http://nalert.blogspot.com/2010/04/obama-caught-lying-talked-to-blago-on .html
“I had no contact with the governor or his office and so
I was not aware of what was happening, ” Obama told reporters today in Chicago. “It’s a sad day for Illinois. Beyond that, I don’t think it’s appropriate to comment.”
If so, he willfully lied about it:

Axlerod: “I was mistaken when I told an interviewer
last month that the President-elect has spoken directly to Governor Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy. They did not then or at any time discuss the subject.”
The subpoena says:
President-elect Obama also spoke to Governor Blagojevich on December 1, 2008 in Philadelphia
Details from subpoena:

1. Obama may have lied about conversations with
convicted fraudster Tony Rezko
2. Obama may have overtly recommended Valerie Jarret for
his Senate seat
3. A supporter of President Obama may have offered quid
pro quo on a Jarrett senate appointment
4. Obama maintained a list of good Senate candidates
5. Rahm Emanuel allegedly floated Cheryl Jackson’s name
for the Senate seat
6. Obama had a secret phone call with Blagojevich
But there’s an update at the last link. Looks like the cleanup team is moving in: Judge calls emergency meeting over redaction errors . Nevermind: They accidentally released the intra-office joke subpoena!
