Actually Slim, I think you're wrong. I don't believe Fitzpatrick ever
said "there's no implication of Obama whatsoever at this time." Do you
have a source?
I DID find the following, but none of them are really even close to the
endrosement you claim ablve:
Fitzgerald said no allegations were being made that Obama was aware of
any alleged scheming by Blagojevich.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2008/12/09/report-illinois-governor-taken-federal-custody/
Fitzgerald said federal officials were making "no allegations" that
Obama himself was "aware of anything" in connection with the case.

Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. Attorney in Chicago, said his office was
not alleging that Obama was involved in the scheme, or even aware of it.
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/AP/story/806337.html
Fitzgerald said there was “no reference in the complaint’ to the
president-elect and cautioned the press to “not cast aspersions on
people” for being mentioned in the government’s filing if they were not
indicted.

=====
A DA's offic usually make "allegations" when they're ready to indict.
