It just doesn't get any better than politicians from Illinois. Some may wonder...are there any politicians from Chicago or Illinois who are not corrupt?Late last week it was reported that Burris's testimony to the Illinois House of Representatives panel, said that he had no contact with Blagojevich about the selling of Obama's Senate seat.
However he is now saying that Blagojevich's brother solicited him for campaign funds to the governor's campaign. He goes further to state: "The situation was this: Rob called me in October and as we said in the affidavit, that we would ... I advised him that I can't raise him any money because I am raising money for other candidates, and to call me back after the election,"
I don't know about you but that statement made no sense. However on On Feb. 5, after he had been seated in the U.S. Senate, Mr. Burris filed an affidavit with the committee chairwoman saying he had spoken with Rob Blagojevich once in October and twice in November. (oops I think he had to as Blago verified publicly that one of those conversations was recorded by the FBI.)
Everyday we see more and more corruption in the Democratic run Illinois State Government. LOL, yes this is where Obama learned his politics. My, my this should be fun.

You Burris' antics are a crime?
How about muckraking the real criminals. take this story for instance...burp....
"Obama Confronts a Choice on Copters" read this week's New York Times . The President soon "will have to decide whether to proceed with some of the priciest aircraft in the world -- a new fleet of 28 Marine One helicopters that will each cost more than the last Air Force One....The choice confronting Mr. Obama encapsulates the tension between two imperatives of his nascent presidency, the need to meet the continuing threats of an age of terrorism and the demand for austerity in a period of economic hardship."
This is a gross misrepresentation of the choice Obama faces. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn) and others have alleged that the contract for 28 Marine One helicopters was awarded to the Italian firm Finmeccanica as a thank you for Italy's participation in the Iraq War. The evidence, however, indicates that the contract was more specifically a payoff to the Italian government for supplying the forged documents showing Saddam had obtained weapons grade uranium from Niger. President Bush famously used this fraudulent "yellowcake" intelligence to justify launching the war.
When reviewing the helicopter contract, President Obama can either be actively complicit by continuing with Finmeccanica; he can duck and cover by simply switching to the proper supplier, Sikorsky; or he can use the mandated review of this purchase decision to root out those in military, the aerospace industry and Congress who were willing to compromise the security of all subsequent American presidents so that Bush could cover up his core war crime. -Jeffrey Klein, Paola Pontoniere.
