Roland Burris Admission Trumps Obama's Historic Signing

While the President of the United States was signing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, officially transforming our country into a Socialized government, the junior Senator from Illinois dropped a bomb shell. He stated that he did in fact attempt to raise money for the former Governor of Illinois.

Okay, one thing at a time. First, Obama stated - and I'm paraphrasing - that it was weird for so many people in Washington to come together for something so unprecedented . I laughed out loud at this comment. Where has he been living? Has he not seen the polls, watched the markets and reveiwed th voting records on this legislation? He barely got the 60 votes he needed and he only got those on party line votes. When this Spendulus package fails, this will fall squarely on his shoulders and nobody else's. He is the one who used scare tactics, included but not limited to, planting people in town hall meetings and using words like Armegeden and Catastrophe.

Today's historic signing gave Chicom a much firmer grip on our country. After all, where are we getting the money to pay for this bill? It has to come from somewhere. The Bush haters cried like babies about how Bush doubled our national deficit in his EIGHT-year's in office. Well, people of the world unite...Obama just did the same thing in his first month of his Presidency.

The Chicago Tribune reported today, "U.S. Sen. Roland Burris has acknowledged trying to raise money for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich before being appointed to the Senate. According to a transcript posted on the Chicago Tribune's Web site, Burris told reporters in Peoria Monday night that he talked to some friends about putting together a fundraiser after being called by the ex-governor's brother."

Lastly, Time Magazine release of a list of the top 25 people to blame for the economic crisis we're in right now and, not surprisingly, Bill Clinton was ranked as number 13. Clinton's tenure was marked by "lots of financial deregulation, which in many ways set the stage for the excesses of recent years," according to Time. Under Clinton, Gramm was able to push through the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, which is widely blamed for opening the door to all those shady credit swaps that have brought the economy to the brink of collapse. George Bush was number 14. I was astonished at this, since Time Magazine is such a left leaning publication.
