The Governor of Illinois was arrested on Tuesday for attempting to sell the Senate Seat left vacated by Barack Obama when he was elected President elect. This story has dominated the conversation for a week. Barack Odrama has said he did not meet with the Governor to discuss Senate choices despite the fact that his key advisor Axlerod said on TV that Obama did indeed discuss this with the Governor. Obama of course then threw Axlerod under the bus and said David misspoke. Tell the truth the Governor wanted Obama to take part in this scheme or at least give him a favor in exchange for selecting Obama's friend to the Senate. Obama should have told the truth but I don't think he knows the truth if it bit him in the ass.
Chicago Politics are going to be examined for the next four years. I suspect that Obama's hands are not clean even though the media or others can claim that is a case. He has played to dirty in his campaigns for him not to be a crook or a conman.
The governor should resign and allow the Lt Governor make the selection as any selection that he picks is going to have problems and would not get reelected in two years.
I would like to see an African American get appointed to this seat just preferably not Jesse Jackson Jr. That dirt bag turned against his own father for Obama.
Happy Birthday Madame Secretary
