Next Friday and it will have something to do with illegal drugs or a dui. I don’t know who but I have a feeling.

It won’t matter. We probably won’t hear about it.

I don’t know. There are one or two from the campaign. The question is when will anyone in the MSM hire a real reporter?

"Will it matter?"

You're joking; right?

It doesn’t matter because the MSM thinks Obama walks on water. End of discussion. If anyone complains about anything, he/she is a racist.

An anguished Bill Ayers will discover that Odumbo is cheating on him with Hugo Chavez, and fly into a violent, shrieking jealous rage in full public view, on the White House lawn.

Already happened - President-elect Barack Obama’s newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot “red flags,” according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com.

“Clinton’s going-away gift to Emanuel was a seat on the quasi-governmental Freddie Mac board, which paid him $231,655 in director’s fees in 2001 and $31,060 in 2000,” Lynn Sweet wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times on Jan. 3, 2002.
During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandal involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities. Freddie Mac and its sister organization Fannie Mae were taken over by the federal government in September 2008 after years of mismanagement and scandal. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson put the two beleaguered GSEs into a conservatorship, stripping common stock shareholders of their rights to govern the companies.

“Freddie Mac was accused of illegally using corporate resources between 2000 and 2003 for 85 fundraisers that collected about $1.7 million for federal candidates,” an Associated Press story from April 18, 2006 said. “Much of the fundraising benefited members of the House Financial Services Committee, a panel whose decisions can affect Freddie Mac.”

And, since his successful run for the House of Representatives in 2002, Emanuel has been the beneficiary of campaign cash from Freddie Mac and its sister organization Fannie Mae – $51,750 according to the Center for Responsive Politics Web site OpenSecrets.org.

The only difference between Xlinton and Hussein is their color.

Oh wait, Xlinton was the first black president. My bad.

If a scandal falls in the forest, and the MSM does not report it, what sound does it make?

All administrations have had their scandals, why should this one be any different?
