What was your reaction When Obama's Senate Seat Went up For Sale?

Yesterday, Governor Rod Blagojevich was charged with conspiracy to solicit bribes.  He was (allegedly) trying to sell President-Elect Barack Obama's Senate seat.  I mean, the quotes are amazing!

Here's Governor Rod Blagojevich yesterday tauntin the FBI:

Not even 24 hours later, this was the AP report:

Wow! Talk about full-circle!  President-Elect Barack Obama has called for Rod Blagojevich to resign - and the chorus is chiming in as well.

This is appalling but not surprising.  Some would say, this is Chicago at its best!  What do you think?

What did you think When Obama Named Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State?

President-Elect Barack Obama named Hilary Clinton as his Secretary of State.  Many people think many different things about this.  Pesonally, I think it was a great move - politically.

Why?  Well by removing Hilary Clinton from the Senate, Barack Obama has effectively neutralized her.  She is now on his team and must respect his wishes and enact his agenda.  In the Senate, Hilary Clinton could have served as a stumbling block to Barack Obama's agenda.  Moreover, she would remain as a threat to him in 2012.

But, that's what I think.  What did you think?

Where Were You When Obama Won the Presidency?

On November 4th, 2008, Senator Barack Obama became President-Elect Barack Obama. Truly, this was/is an historic occasion worth documenting. I had just finished manning the polls in my precinct in an unsuccessful bid to be elected Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner in my neighborhood, here in Washington, DC. One great thing about my candidacy was that my name was on the ballot with Barack Obama!

I was in a local lounge called Twelve. As we watched the big screen, I couldn't believe that certain states went for Barack Obama. The shock was mutual, and with every passing moment you could sense that it was going to happen. And, then it did!

There was a young lady who had volunteered for the campaign in Virginia. Tears were streaming down her face!


Another older couple was in tears. It was amazing to see how many people were so emotional...you can't help but realize how important this is for the social fabric of our Country.
