Why do you feel he is in any way responsible or even involved in the Bolgojevich scandal?? Its his former seat and he is the President Elect? What might he have to gain?? Lets hear some facts....not ridiculous, angry, non-factual baloney!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

He can't help it Larry.

Dry humping a Sean Hannity blow up doll gets old after a while. He has to take it to a new level of absurdity or else he'll never get off.

What I find most depressing is how in the tin-foil hat wearing class of GOP punditry addicts, there was at least a thick vein of "America can do anything "optimsm that people often associate more with Republicans.

The election of Barak Obama (by a fair and uncontested election) has somehow taken this away and left only a murky puddle of dispair.

Perhaps we should blame Bush for getting the ball rolling on this one. 9/11 was an attempt to hurt America and our leadership responds by using terror to scare Americans into voting Republican, taking away rights and flaunting the rule of law, in effect doing Bin Laden's own bidding.

Now the fractured Right hopes to sink Obama before he's even in office.

I ask the good people of S-B.com... To what end?

Our country is currently in the middle of a major recession, a widespread generational shift in leadership, huge foreign policy messes to be cleaned up and looming domestic landmines that the baby boomers are going to belly flop onto with wild abandon in the next decade.

We have big issues.

Bush has already checked out and has one step in the Whitehouse and one in the Ranch. What we need now is leadership, and the American people have chosen Barak Obama as that leader.

The Blago story is a big one, but in the grand scheme it's a novelty story of a few arrogant and corrupt people at best. Even the special prosecutor has indicated with absolute certianty that Obama was not associated in any way. To use this to injur the entire nation, just because it provides a brief bit of respite, a quick fix, a sudden rush that for a few brief moments takes you to a place where Obama isn't...knowing all the time that when you come down from your tweak, he'll still be there ready to lead...

Is pretty selfish, petty minded and anti-American if you ask me. I for one believe in America, do you?

Maybe alot of folks did not vote for Obama, but he is a likeable guy, family man, and I can give not one reason not to stand behind him as he is going to be our President. Doesn't he at least deserve a chance?

At least if folks are gonna bash him...maybe try some coherent, factual banter instead of the nonsensical load of crap expressed in the first post of this thread?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Hey, there was a whole segment of the population who didn't vote for him other than he had a Muslim name. Maybe he's a Muslim Manchurian candidate

I highly doubt Obama had anything to do with some kind of $ deal in the Obama replacement Bolgo scandal.
However, i am waiting to see how quickly and thoroughly the "transparency policy" Obama promised, about his staff in this matter, comes through.

Especailly interesting is Chief of Staff Emanuel who took Bolgojevich's Congressional seat after he became Governor.

Raven- I said he should resign as President Elect - that job, he has begun...didn't you see the sign on the podium?

this is the most corrupt occupant of the Office of the President Elect in history

yes, I would prefer that he not enact all that he has planned after the innauguration.....

To know you're nuts and still be nuts...is really nuts.

Keep smoking, when you have any facts perhaps we'll listen. Or are you just peeking at the pics Drudge is posting to give you another tweak?

You should know better than that.

No, not actually.

If my ego is so large why are people in agreement with me?

Why? Just to make you happy? Another sign of mental instability.

Based on nothing. Seriously, name his corruption...please...

Perhaps the only sane thing you've said this thread. Unfortunately Obama won the election and has a favorable Congress.

Dude, you need help. I suggest prozac. However, from the sounds of things, perhaps you just took yourself off of it.
