I think Obama and Emanuel have handled the Blago debacle quite defty. The media has not even questioned their innocence,instead all the focus is on the clowns in Congress and Burris. Looks like Fitz has bungled another case.
Obama said several things in his campaign that made me question his intelligence.
1. After Russia invasion of Georgia,he said something about it not being in the Olympic spirit. It sounds like a line from SNL and of course the media ignored it. Frightening. Do they teach world history at Harvard?
2.Proper tire inflation as an energy policy. This is the one line that really blew me away. This wasnt a gaffe. A couple days later he defended the statement. This was his alternative to drilling on US properties,check your tires. Yeah,I know the knucklehead McCain came out in support of this idiocy,but Obama said it. What would posses someone to say or believe something this moronic? W,Algore,Lurch,and Obama are all Ivy league graduates and I cant figure out how they got out of high school.
3.Bomb Pakistan. What if a Rep has said this?
4.Grandma was a racist
5.You build economies from the bottom up,whatever that means.
On the other hand I have no problem with Obama sitting down and talking with anyone,including Iran. We have been doing the exact opposite for 50 years and it doesnt seem to be working.
