Obama's first scandal

The guy hasn't even officially took office yet and already he is in the center of one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history. Is anyone really surprised? Can't say that I am...Whether or not Obama's "people" had any contact with the soon to be imprisoned Blagoblahblah (I would have masacred the name anyways) is up for the U.S. Attorney General and a Grand Jury to decide, but it does put the spotlight on Obama's sudden rise through the political ranks and that he did so by coming up through one of the most politically corrupt states in the union...Let's be honest about it: there is something fishy about his meteoric rise throught the political ranks. Obama basically went from a local/community politician to the President of the USA in roughly 6 years. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to spin some stupid conspiracy theory worthy of those dirt rags you find near the Grocery Store check outs, no, I'm just pointing out that there is nothing normal about the sudden rise of Barack Obama. Who else in our nations history has climbed so rapidly and become president? Who else has risen to be our president while having to wade through such a corrupt political environment? None that I know of. Oh sure, there have been plenty of corrupt politicians who have been president, but none whose only national political experience is a mere 2 years worth of being a Senator from Illinois....Anyways, I digress...Back to Blagoblahblah (briefly)...What a moron this guy has to be. Who in their right mind says the things this guy is caught on tape saying, given their position as govenor? This guy had the balls to call people out left and right with no care of the political fall out as he attempted to sell Obama's vacated Senatorial seat. It's almost surreal that a govenor of this country would do and say such things. Unfortunately its just another black eye on American politics, culture and society for the global community to point at and laugh-much like the dead possum for a hair do Blagoblahblah has on his head!!! Now THAT is priceless!
