Blagojevich Names Burris to Fill Obama's Vacant Senate Seat
Brilliant move Blago!
You are not as dumb as you look. (You know with the hair style and all....)
Let me frame it for those who are a bit slow.
What can an embattled Democrat do to insure that the national Democrats don't actually stick to their ground that they will NOT certify the choice of the corrupt Democratic governor of Illinois who was caught red handed trying to SELL THE SEAT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER??
Easy: Promote a member of a PROTECTED CLASS and thus draw out the support of people who care more about their SPECIAL INTEREST than they do about INTEGRITY.
Had Balgo found a way to dig up former Senator Paul Simon, resuscitate him and nominate him as a WHITE MALE DEMOCRAT for the seat - our good ole Black Panther buddy would not be SUPPORTING the governor who is on the verge of indictment but would instead be QUESTIONING his CREDIBILITY in doing so.
Similarly if Clarence Thomas' brother who would be a Black guy - meeting the qualifications for Bobby Rush but NOT A DEMOCRAT....Rush would again have held a press conference attacking both the governor and his choice.
But oh Blogo - you dirty dog. You are more skilled that I had once figured you to be.
With a Black guy Democrat as your choice you have gracefully jammed up the machine that was lined up against you and the instantly tainted nominee that you were to put forth.
Let's be clear - If Blago had nominated ANYONE who wasNOT from a "Protected Class" this person's nomination would have been D.O.A.
Now you have the situation where the Illinois Democratic Party (and a Black secretary of state at that) will have to follow through on their promise to REJECT anyone who Blago puts forth for the Senate.
Having gotten out of Illinois - this person was to be refused by the US Senate.
Now that a member of the protected class has been nominated by the corrupt Democrat - all bets are off.
Furthermore if Barack Obama does speak up and say "I like this nominee" his party mates will also back off of the nominee despite their original promises.
Aren't politics and ethics policies wonderful?

Not only that, but it looks like he managed to get in a guy that is his own crony and pay off his pay-for-play debts.
JJ Jr is the one who is most likely candidate five in the indictment. JJ Sr. has his people arrange a fundraiser to pay the debt (through cutouts.) Now it looks like since JJ Jr. can't take the seat personally, he decided to have one of his own cutouts through JJ Sr (Burris, former PUSH CEO) put in the seat instead.
Yup, we are looking at Chicago politics. And we just elected a Chicago politician to the Oval office.
Time will surely tell how this administration governs, but I will hold back judgement until after President-Elect Obama has taken office.

Unfortunately - the world......and the Democratic Party that surrounds "This Administration" is going to force its hand to a greater extent than you know. Oh - and don't forget about the economy and the results of this currently level of government infusion of funds to prop it up. Over time the attempts by the government to fix the economy are going to be the problem. The US debt will increase from $11 trillion to $15 trillion after all is done - in my opinion.
