Obama Administration Already Knee-Deep in Corruption

Posted on 01/04/2009 11:28:17 AM PST by The Patriot RWC

First, Obama's fellow Daley machine hack, Rod Blagojevich, tried to sell Obama's Senate seat. Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, discussed the future of the Senate seat with Blagojevich. Obama has since "cleared himself" of any wrongdoing.

Then, Obama's advisor, Caroline Kennedy, tried to steal a Senate seat in New York, citing royal prerogative.

Now, Obama's Commerce Secretary nominee, Bill Richardson, has withdrawn his nomination, amid speculation that he will be indicted for corruption.

All this, and Obama hasn't even been sworn in!

Just so I am clear, Obama can’t be impeached until after he actually takes office, right!

No...Obama can't be impeached until after we have control of Congress with enough "Pubies with backbones". Until then...we are Chicago...

Well, while he's pretending to president, let's pretend to impeach him.

Oh, but he resides in the office of the President Elect.

What used to be up is now down, what used to be right is now wrong, what used to be fact is now ponderous, what used to be respect is now disdain.

And to think that we did it to ourselves via choice...

Yes, they are. I’d even say neck deep in corruption, when you add in the Hill and Bill show and all the juicy bits there, and it’s our job to call them on it at every opportunity. We know the MSM won’t.

obamer's "administration" was created in and staffed by Chicago politicos...and the co-equal Chicago corruption.

Why is this a surprise to anyone? Why is it worthy of repetition??

And it is a point very well taken! You are absolutely correct. Wait-two Republicans do come to mind my own two senators Snow and Collins (sarc).

My fear is that Obama’s first attempt at establishing an administration will consist of Clinton retreads, and echoes back to Camelot (gag!). When these first attempts fall through, Obama may pick lesser known people who have fewer ties to existing figures of corruption — but who may be 100% radical communists in ideology. Such people might not normally sail on through, but with enough “nominee fatigue”. people might just say, “So, he’s a comunist, so what? At least he’s not from Chicago.”

I agree and this is probably why Carville predicted a long string of Rat scandals.

Snow and Collins

I used to laugh at the idea of those two considered to be conservative enough to be Republicans.

Now, MY state is stuck with the prospect of a senator perceived as too liberal to be considered a communist, with an attitude and an illegal background to boot.

And he wears diapers.....

It's the end of the world as we know it.

Oh come on guys, Obama is gong to make a great President. Just wait until you read all about it in the News Papers that are still in business. Have they ever lied to us?

Even that shill James Carville is predicting one scandal after another in the Obama administration. It’s going to be a very interesting four years. Rush and Sean and the rest of the radio folks will certainly have a field day.

Can’t wait to hear Holder defend his indefensible acts during the bubba administration. His hands are dirtier than Sandy Burglar’s.

Clinton retreads are in the Obama administration, because the Clintons are in charge of him. They have some dirty dirt on him.

Definitely a possibility. But my suspicion is that the folks who have the real dirt on Obama are far worse than the Clintons. I think the Clintons want power. I think Obama’s handlers want the destruction of America.

I think the Clintons ARE Obama’s handlers now. I would rather have Hillary in charge of Obama than to have muslims in charge of him.

“Pubies with baaaackbones” who did you have in mind?

Well over in the Senate I think Kyl can show some spine. He went over to the dark side once with his support of Illegal Alien Amnesty, but I believe I thought his intentions were good - he conceded that it was going to happen one way or another, so he wanted to be involved and influence it in a positive way. In the end we defeated the amnesty bill, fortunately. BUT amnesty will be back and McCain will assist, bless his heart. Here's hoping Kyl has nothing to do with it.

The article mentions Rahm Emanuel. I’m assisting the campaign of Rosanna Pulido, a conservative candidate, in the special election, to replace Emanuel. Please read her site, www.rosannapulido2009.com. She’s the only candidate, in that race, who is pro-life, anti-illegal alien, and pro-gun. If you know anyone, who lives in or near that district (5th), please ask them to volunteer for her and/or send donations.
