I figure as an avowed left winger I should say something here, though I have not been as active lately in this room.
I find this Blago drama a little disconcerting. I think it sure is good that Blago called Obama a motherfocker because Barack only offered "gratitude", but that brings up the question of Obama's communications regarding the Senate seat. Looks like a pretty sleazy playground Obama grew up in there in the Chicago political landscape, Obama must be a crafty motherfocker in order to have played his way to the top.
Those of you who thought Obama was too naive to be President and wasn't tough enough should be heartened by all of this.
But, please, let's do away with all the theories that Obama is a Muslim extremist or a crack smoking fag if we're going to jump on this new idea that Obama is one of the good old boys from white Chicago land politics. I think the first two theories I mention are foolish, but this sleaziest, baddest motherfocker in the sandbox thing might have merit regarding Obama
I'm curious as to how Jesse Jackson Jr. is going to come out of this, seems like Blago couldn't have been so delusional that he was imaging a spokesperson for Jackson was offering up a million bucks.
I've been reading the "other side" of the news reports( NY Post, Drudge Report) on this to try to get both sides and find the commonalities. I sure don't like that Axelrod has now said he "misspoke" a few months back regarding whether or not Obama had conversations with Blago over the vacant seat.
What the hell does "misspoke" mean, anyways? If not lying, does it mean the speaker was just talking out his ass, drugged or delusional?
One question I have: What happens if something should happen to Obama before the Inauguration? Does Biden automatically become the next President?
