I was thinking much the same as the author. This scandal is so deep and widespread it will take a long time to fully investigate and prosecute. Even if no fingers are ever pointed at The Annointed this story will dog him like toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

If the media in this country wasn't the propaganda ministry of the Democrat party, this would be a real scandal and could create real problems for Obama.

But with the media in this country so solidly behind Obama, this will completely go away, probably before Obama's coronation inauguration.

At the worst, it will end up being like the Prison Blood scandal was for Bill Clinton. Widely reported and followed outside the US, but ignored by our media Democrat propaganda ministry. But that blood scandal had big health and political impact in Canada, where this one is pretty much internal politics. So it might not even get traction outside the US.

The media will protect Obama and make sure that the ignorant public doesn’t connect Obama with the criminal governor.

Wasn’t it Pat Caddell back in the 1990’s who asserted that the Democratic Party was a “party of gangsters”?

He was right.

If the republicans are cut from the same mold as the ineffectual, neutered cowards who ran the McLame campaign, what Savage calls the “checked pants, country club” republicans, then we won’t have a prayer. We need another Reagan type to emerge so badly over the next few years that it’s not one bit funny.

I am assuming that your comment at Post #31 was aimed at those who agree with me, in addition to just me.

So, I thought I’d ping them to it, since you’re so enlightened and can explain it to them as well.

All that rebuilding of the infrastructure that the One has planned, kind of takes on a new hue when you read the 76 pages, and all the “gifts” the contractors had to pledge to build anything in Illinois

If you have not read the latest information at the web site of Leo Donofrio, please do. Leo talks about the media lies in their few reports concerning the cases before the SCOTUS. http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/

Then please take 90 minutes sometime soon to listen to the video at this link below. At the link click on the video on the left titled: “WTP Obama Citizenship Challenge - National Press Club”. Information the media won’t report.

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=bob%20schultz%20press%20conference&rls=com.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GWYF&um=1&sa=N&tab=wv#+

Also go to Freeper Joe Thunder’s web site FreedomMarch.org and read other information on the cases before the courts.
Joe’s program on Plains Radio this evening 12/11 at 9:00PM Eastern will be an update on things going on the media won’t report.

I believe that B. Hussein will have things so screwed up by 2012 that this nation won’t be able to wait to send his skinny, black a** back to Kenya, Hawaii, the Banana Republic of Chicago or wherever the creep calls home.

“Than wouldn’t mean a thing either.”

I’m hoping that Jessie Jackson wasn’t kidding when he said he’d cut Hussein Obama’s nuts off. I know it’s a huge long shot, but if Jessie hates him enough maybe he’ll do us all a favor and spill the beans on all of the stuff Hussein has been up to.

Regards
