^^ I guess it’s just the rantings of an old man who believes no one can become president without selling his soul to the devils. It’s systematic to the process of becoming and maintaining the position, and so is the payback. Case in point, Secretary of State Clinton.
The Emmanuel and Blagojevich connection is a matter of record, and to close ones’ eyes to the possibility that at least Emmanuel knew and would not brief Obama concerning it, isn’t parnoia as much as it is typical politics.
The message that I’m trying to get across is that it’s kind of silly to believe that Obama is above all of the dirty politics just because he strokes you where you live. He’s proven nothing more than being more emeshed in typical Illinois and Washington politics than McCain ever was. This is not saying that McCain would make a better president, this is saying that Obama’s main campain message, the one that everyone believed in was horseshit, and that you’re really not getting any more change than you have a guy a little left of center in the White House, than a little right of center. All things else will be pretty much status quo except maybe for Obama’s eloquence.
We’ve really just re-elected Bill Clinton, and that’s Ok because the country swings back and forth because of a dis-satisfaction with its presidents. Clinton was elected because the country was fed up with Bush 41. Bush 43 was elected because the country was fed up with Clinton. Obama was elected because the country was fed up with Bush 43. The pattern is basically saying we just don’t like any presidents. And the only reason the same clowns in the legislature get re-elected year after year is because the majority of people don’t have enough time to care about them.
The process is broken when we elect people for high office based on popularity, image, and money, and not on qualifications or accomplishments. And this is not mud slinging, but it is fear.
