Dedicated Mind, what kind of bubble are you living in? I want to ask you one question in hopes that you will answer it honestly.
If all this had been written about Bush, and as much trash came out on Bush as has come out on Obama what would your attitude have been? Would you have been as forgiving and as understanding to Bush?
And you speak of Congress being there to keep him in check. You've got to be kidding. How many of the members of Congress have come under question but the rest of the Congress won't even investigate the accusations against their own. One perfect example is NY's Charlie Rangel!
And the list goes on! Jack Murtha, Jane Harman, Dianne Feinstein, William Jefferson, Eric Massa, David Paterson, Neil Goldschmidt, Richard Holbrooke, former U.N. ambassador and assistant Secretary of State, who as U.N. Ambassador ignored whistleblower reports about the infamous Oil-for-Food scandals, and joined the Countrywide Six.
Or how about Dodd? Senator Christopher Dodd – D. Connecticut, who oversees the U.S. mortgage industry as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, also a member of the Countrywide Six.
Gaylord Kent Conrad – D. North Dakota, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and one of the first politicians to support Obama over Hillary. Plus, he was a member of the Countrywide Six.
ROD BLAGOJEVICH, Governor of Illinois, stated that the Senate seat “is a f’ing valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.” He had a good friend, too.
Tony Rezko “assisted Blagojevich in setting up the state’s first Democratic administration in twenty years. Rezko was able to have business associates appointed onto several state boards. Rezko and several others were indicted on federal charges in October 2006, for using their connections to the state boards to demand kickbacks from businesses that wanted to do business with the state. While the others pleaded guilty to the charges, Rezko pleaded not guilty and was found guilty of 16 of the 24 charges filed against him.” (Wiki)
A federal grand jury is investigating how a company that advised Jefferson County, Alabama, on bond deals that threaten to cause the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, did similar work in New Mexico after making contributions to Governor Bill Richardson’s political action committees.
In East St. Louis, Ill, A federal jury… convicted the chairman of the city’s Democratic Party and four others of scheming to buy votes with cash, cigarettes and liquor last November. Prosecutors relied largely on secretly recorded audiotapes in which they say the accused could be heard talking about paying $5 per vote to get key Democrats elected. Charles Powell Jr., 61, the city’s Democratic Party chairman, was found guilty along with the city’s former director of regulatory affairs and three others. (AP)
Clarence Norman Jr., the leader of one of the largest Democratic Party organizations in the nation, was found guilty yesterday of soliciting illegal campaign contributions.
And the list goes on. And yes, there are Republicans that can be added too. Washington DC is a disgrace.
