It is quite possible that Obama is somehow involved or implicated in this scandal. If so, this will drag on for years. That has the potential to cripple the federal government in time of war and economic turmoil.

There are two things we should remember. The power of the presidency to stonewall and delay investigations is enormous. Remember Nixon and Clinton. Secondly, those charged with investigating the scandal in Congress and the executive branch are quite possibly involved in the scandal or have reasons to protect colleagues who are.

This unfolding scandal has the potential to distract this bunch of clowns who frankly don’t possess the ability and skill to run the government in the best of times. It is our liberty, prosperity and safety at stake when these clowns get distracted. Remember that people were very concerned about Nixon and the nuclear arsenal during the last days of his administration. Evidently Haig was concerned enough to contact others in the chain of command and warn them of his concerns. Desperate people will do desperate things. Clinton waged his wars in Kosovo. What might Obama do should he be deeply implicated?

Either way, I think it is a good thing that corruption is exposed. But, resolving the problem is different from exposing it. And trying to survive 4 years of scandal while we are in a war and economic downturn may just make us long for the good old days of Watergate and Lewinsky.

Governor Bag-o-Hammers appoints himself to the vacant senate seat. The Lt. Governor steps up and pardons him

I was thinking the same thing. This guy has the arrogance and idiocy of a methamphetmine user. . .which could also be the case.

$5 says the arrogant a$$ appoints himself as US Senator.

This is a VERY likely scenario. Governor Bag-o-Hammers appoints himself to the vacant senate seat. The Lt. Governor steps up and pardons him from any state wrong-doing, and then Obama does the same from the federal side after he’s sworn in. The dems get to keep the senate seat (I know it was never in question, but…), the FBI gets to look like they’re doing their job, and it’s early enough in the Obamessiah’s presidency to not have any long-term repercussions.

That is NOT a fake birth certificate. Obama bought and paid for it, fair and square…

“The governor has been working on the things that matter most to the people of Illinois: creating jobs, keeping people in their homes, fixing the budget…”

Well, sort of… he did want to create jobs (for him and his wife), keep people (he and his wife) in their homes, and fix the budget (his). But the people of Illinois will have to fend for themselves.
