No,...this is the steaming pile of horseshit stench of Chicago politics THAT OBAMA packed up and dragged it with him to D.C.... a lot of people seem to forget that little fact...because the democrats want it that way. When is the last you think a democrat ever told the truth?..especially one from Chicago? |

Sorry, this is NOT limited to Dems. Plenty of Republicans have been adjudged as just as slimy as anyone else. We just seem to have an ingrained tolerance for pay to play politics in this area. I saw Burris speaking at the Chicago City Club on TV yesterday, and the man just doesn't seem to have a clue this sort of behavior is unethical. Just like Blago. I think both of them could pass a lie detector test. I am glad the Sun Times got the giant scoop about the Burris affidavit and told us all about it. Otherwise, it seems as if it would remain a secret after 10 days in the hand of the chairwoman of the House Impeachment Committee without a peep to anyone. Burris seems like an intelligent, affable fellow. However, after his speech yesterday, I don't think he's willing to be the poster boy for reform of political ethics in Illinois. He'll fight to the death for the status quo. I'm not at all sure he could be convicted for perjury. |

He only wanted ONE thing...the right to put United States Senator Roland Burris on his mausoleum. And Obama wantd ONE thing...his vote on the Stimulus bill. Now they can throw him under the frickin' bus... |

Obama's press secretary has already said Burris needs to go. Before we get too lost here, first Obama didn't want him in because he didn't like who appointed him, then he said seat him after all, then after a few votes now he needs to go. What changed? Nothing really. Nothing we really didn't already know. Just more proof that Obama is definitely no Lincoln. |

Quote: Burris' son Got State Job From Blago Chicago Sun Times The son of embattled Sen. Roland Burris is a federal tax deadbeat who landed a $75,000-a-year state job under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich five months ago, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned. Blagojevich's administration hired Roland W. Burris II as a senior counsel for the state's housing authority Sept. 10 -- about six weeks after the Internal Revenue Service slapped a $34,163 tax lien on Burris II and three weeks after a mortgage company filed a foreclosure suit on his South Side house. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/burr ... 26.article Now why can't they investigate Obama with the same attitude? |
