You put it quite well - just because Obama is from Illinois, he should not be automatically tainted by the corrupt politics and politicians who share the same state or even office.<BR/><BR/>It would be like saying that I am somehow a bad person because my brother is a felon. He's the one who commited the crime, not me. Just because we come from the same family doesn't mean I condone the behavior or am should be seen poorly because of it.Lawfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099970602815308684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-40892688351555032332008-12-12T22:30:00.000-06:002008-12-12T22:30:00.000-06:00This was some great perspective.

Yet, there are some - you for example to quote you, that are not.<BR/><BR/>There are others too I am certain. <BR/><BR/>I guess there's some good guys in Mississippi too. The non lawyers.<BR/><BR/>Ok, there are some good ones (but they're not filthy stinking rich off tobacco and Phen Fen money).Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757079675613448834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-9506057937545610332008-12-10T23:20:00.000-06:002008-12-10T23:20:00.000-06:00Blag the Self-Impaler and Obama were cool to each ...Blag the Self-Impaler and Obama were cool to each other at best. The Governor (and his wife for that matter) has got some serious issues.<BR/><BR/>I don't think this will taint Obama at all. Except for those who constantly look for shadows of conspiracy around Obama, and loathe the fact that he is the next President.

Not only does the right hand not know what the left hand is doing, sometimes they need to commission a study to find that there is, indeed, another hand! Don't mistake me, I honestly believe that Obama had no intimate knowledge of what Gov. Dead Meat was up to. And I don't think Obama will be getting any on him, either. I just deplore the tendency of the media to try to make something out of the most tenuous of connections in any political candidate. "He was in third grade and shared an apple with 'Miss A' who was later arrested for bribery and corruption". Ok, so 'Miss A' was arrested for bribery and corruption 20 years later..do they really think sharing an apple in third grade corrupted the candidate too?

I do not think America is ready for another term like Clinton's second or the Watergate era. Since the Democrats have such solid control I do not think it will happen. If a President Obama makes it to a second term I think we could get an instant replay.<BR/><BR/>If it smell like a fish, there is a very good chance that it is a fish......Sarge Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533766216808955625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-61311664009484138002008-12-10T10:27:00.000-06:002008-12-10T10:27:00.000-06:00i'm sure it won't, i'm just not sure it shouldn't....i'm sure it won't, i'm just not sure it shouldn't...<BR/><BR/>smiles, bee<BR/>tyvcEmpress Bee (of the high sea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300140506585000934noreply@blogger.com
