Oh Blago, Oh Blago…What Have You Done?
First let me say sorry I am sorry I have been away so long, but I wanted to spend the Christmas break with my kids. But, now I am back and looking for the big stories; of course the best is Gov. Blago and his antics.
This is a huge headache for the Democrats and of course Barack Obama. Let’s face it, Obama’s involvement is minimal, but his problem is he is now the Democratic Party and is first step will be to get rid of his home state’s nutty governor; not what he envisioned when constantly repeated “Yes We Can,”.
Blago has stunningly seated the vacant Senate positions, despite the fact he is facing impeachment and could be tossed from the governorship. The problem is what do they really have on him other than talking about selling the positions? This of course leads to the question why did U.S. Attorney Fitzgerald shutdown the case, before locking up solid evidence? Also, is Rahm Emanuel coming into the Chief of Staff positions weakened by the scandal?
All of these questions will start playing out, but the one known is that Obama is walking into a mess, one of his own party and state’s making.

In my Blog “Why Blago should remain Governor”, I talk about the real deal and the issues Blago created by some of his questionable ethics. Obama should not be concerned with Blago or his antics. There are more than enough Illinois politicians capable of dealing with Blago. Obama has national and international issues to be concerned with that are for more pressing. As for why the Blago investigation was stopped before he committed any further acts, no one knows for sure. the timing of it all certainly smells of more politics. Maybe someone never intended Blago to make the Senate appointment. Maybe that is also the same reason he did. After all, he does had a little bit of an ego.
I hope Blago never leaves… you couldn’t put a price on hair like that.
