Re: Philip Klein’s Chicago Tugs on Obama’s Sleeve:

Huh? You “wonder” if The Messiah “picked up a few tricks” from his years in the Chicago Dem machine? I’m befuddled that there remains a question in your mind.

After having given ACORN and its surrogates over $800,000, do you think The One was ignorant of the fact they have been indicted for voter fraud in 12 states? Or that they registered the dead to vote early and often (ala Chicago) for His Lordship in this election?

How about launching a telephone and e-mail attack in a Chicago radio station that dared to have an anti-Obamessiah author on for an interview about his book?

How about accepting multiple millions in campaign donations from foreign sources, especially from the Middle East, in direct violation of federal campaign finance laws?

Perhaps these and several hundred other instances I could mention but won’t for the sake of time will serve to remove the doubts in your mind as to this worm’s absolute and total corruption.

Obama couldn’t be damned by the preacher. Nor could he blown off track by a terrorist. But he may be unseated by a jackass.

Truth is, we may well look back fondly on Blagojevich and his ilk. And soon.

Give me a good old fashioned crooked political hack any day. All he wants is a few minutes alone with the cash box, after all. And if he is for sale, at least he stays bought. The rest of the time he’s liable to be good company, or at least fun to watch. And may well have an old fashioned sense of patriotism and (some) traditional values to boot.

In my book, an engaging rogue is vastly preferable to the guy who think he’s kid brother to the Holy Ghost, but can’t keep a friend or a promise; the kind who’s solemnly, pompously planning to lead us all over every cliff in sight.

The thought that Obama didn’t know about the dealings of “the Gov” is scary. The thought that he knew and enabled him is even scarier for America. Looks like we are starting to see who we really elected and that the mainstream press did their best to enable Obama to succeed without being vetted.

It looks like yet another of Obama’s pigeons is coming home to…do what pigeons are (in)famous for doing!

UNIONS: CAN’T LIVE WITH’EM
Re: Lisa Fabrizio’s State of the Unions:

Labor unions should be limited to where they can organize, I think manufacturing is a good place for them although the raises that were made over the last 20 years have been inflationary. The insurance has been a good benefit but now that we are faced with a failure of these giants the retirees may suffer as a consequence.
