With all the hoopla over the new government taking office, I have noticed something. The Dems are self destructing. In only a few days they have divided themselves and started a circus that would make P.T. Barnum proud.
First we have Hot Rod Blagoveich (D). He is being charged with trying to auction off Obama's senate seat. Maybe he would have done better by putting it on Ebay, like Palin did the Alaskan governors private plane. Then Obama says his team never had any contact with Hot Rod's office. But in a twist of truth, it is found out that a few people in Camp Obama had contact with Blago. So then Obama does an about face and says he is conducting an internal investigation. This investigation was done by his own people, not a neutral private entity. When released, the report stated that no one in Camp Obama did anything wrong. How convenient.
Then to take the focus off of himself, Hot Rod appoints former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to take Obama's senate seat. Here is the great part of this story. See in his thought of having absolute power Harry Reid (D, Nevada) says he will not seat Burris, due to the cloud over Burris's appointment. That he has the legal right to block Burris from the seat. But all the pundits, constitutional lawyers stated Reid was in the wrong. They are right Reid is wrong. The back pedalling by Reid is at record pace right now. Even though Blago is a crook and a dirt bag he still has the authority to pick Obama's replacement. So Reid was trying to be above the law, because the mindset on the Hill is that they are.
This is just one example of the fiasco going on in our government right now. We have Franken vs Coleman this may never be right. Some one is going to leave that race really angry or screwed. But the worst thing is that the dem's are going crazy with their new found power. The circus's on the news are just showing us what the next four years will be like. Again the dem's believe the are above the law and will act as such, then who will say anything? I feel sorry for the American public, because many were sold a bad bill of goods with these people. But unfortunately all of us will end up getting screwed not just the ones who voted them in. Look how the MSM is trying to cover their tracks. In order to still keep face they won't put a "D" designation in front of a leaders name or title because the media doesn't want the unwashed masses to realize this is who you told me to vote for. Then the MSM will lose their cult, zombie like following and will have no credibility with anyone. Not to say they have any anyway.
The bottom line is after we heard of how the last eight years were with Bush, the dem's are already going wild with their own messes and they haven't been in office one day. Apparently they didn't learn any leassons from the republicans when they were the majority and acted like idiots. Over spending, fighting etc. If this is what we have to look forward to I don't think this is a change we can believe in. Hopefully we will see the fall of this mess in 2010. I am sure by then all the dems will have worn out their welcome.
