Rod Blagojevichi/bləˈɡɔɪ.əvɪtʃ/ (born December 10, 1956) is a former American politician who served as the 40thGovernor of Illinois from 2003 to 2009.
A Democrat, Blagojevich was a State Representative before being elected to the United States House of Representatives representing parts of Chicago. He was elected governor in 2002, the first Democrat to win the office since Dan Walker's victory 30 years earlier. In 2009, he became the first Governor of Illinois in history to be impeached and removed from office.
In March 2012, Blagojevich began serving a 14-year sentence in federal prison following conviction for corruption including the solicitation of bribes for political appointments, including the 2008 vacant U.S. Senate seat of then-President-Elect Barack Obama, while in public office.
Early life
Blagojevich was born in Chicago, Illinois, the second of four children. His father, Radislav, was an immigrant steel plant laborer from a village near Kragujevac, Serbia. His mother, Mila Govedarica, is a Bosnian Serb originally from Gacko, Bosnia and Herzegovina (then also a part of Yugoslavia before its dissolution). His parents moved to Chicago in 1947. Blagojevich has a brother, Rob, who worked as a fund-raiser for Blagojevich in his later political career. Blagojevich spent much of his childhood working odd jobs to help the family pay its bills. He was a shoeshiner and pizza delivery boy before working at a meat packing plant. In order to afford university costs, Blagojevich worked for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System as a dishwasher.
"For the same reason we don't allow kids to buy pornography, for the same reason we don't allow kids to buy cigarettes, for the same reason we don't allow kids to buy alcohol, we shouldn't allow them to go to stores and buy video games."
"A successful economic development strategy must focus on improving the skills of the area's workforce, reducing the cost of doing business and making available the resources business needs to compete and thrive in today's global economy."
"We're just not going to sit back and continue to allow the big, powerful pharmaceutical industry to price gouge the senior citizens and working people of our state. People should be able to afford the medicine they need and they should be able to get the best price they can for it."
"One of the greatest challenges in collecting child support is that deadbeat dads move from job to job and state to state. it's hard to keep track of them."
"This is going to waste precious defense dollars while providing very limited military rewards. While we were successful in keeping the bulk of the arsenal intact, we will continue our fight to keep this mission and others located at this historic military installation where they belong."
"impact the safety and security of the entire Midwest."
"Parents don't need government to raise their kids. That's their job, ... But government can help them protect their children from influences they may not want their kids exposed to."
"an extremely risky proposition."
"there are always a few bad apples."
"These children deserve to go to school, where they can learn and just be kids,"
"Our children's health and well-being are dependent on our commitment to promoting food access and good eating habits at home, at school and in the community."

Trump Pardons Rod Blagojevich And Other Controversial Criminals | TODAY
Rod Blagojevichi/bləˈɡɔɪ.əvɪtʃ/ (born December 10, 1956) is a former American politician who served as the 40thGovernor of Illinois from 2003 to 2009.
A Democrat, Blagojevich was a State Representative before being elected to the United States House of Representatives representing parts of Chicago. He was elected governor in 2002, the first Democrat to win the office since Dan Walker's victory 30 years earlier. In 2009, he became the first Governor of Illinois in history to be impeached and removed from office.
In March 2012, Blagojevich began serving a 14-year sentence in federal prison following conviction for corruption including the solicitation of bribes for political appointments, including the 2008 vacant U.S. Senate seat of then-President-Elect Barack Obama, while in public office.
Early life
Blagojevich was born in Chicago, Illinois, the second of four children. His father, Radislav, was an immigrant steel plant laborer from a village near Kragujevac, Serbia. His mother, Mila Govedarica, is a Bosnian Serb originally from Gacko, Bosnia and Herzegovina (then also a part of Yugoslavia before its dissolution). His parents moved to Chicago in 1947. Blagojevich has a brother, Rob, who worked as a fund-raiser for Blagojevich in his later political career. Blagojevich spent much of his childhood working odd jobs to help the family pay its bills. He was a shoeshiner and pizza delivery boy before working at a meat packing plant. In order to afford university costs, Blagojevich worked for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System as a dishwasher.

But most telling were his memories of some of his contentious dealings with former Illinois governors Rod Blajojevich and Bruce Rauner. Asked about what he described as a “difficult relationship” with Blagojevich, Mike Madigan laughed ... Rod.
Rod Blagojevich and George Ryan did not testify at their corruption trials, but the former speaker walked up to the witness stand with no apparent hesitation after waiving his right to not testify.
Rod Blagojevich unsuccessfully tried to convince a jury of his innocence more than a decade ago. But it may be a bigger surprise, given that Blagojevich is known for talking to anyone who will listen ...
