But the president-elect has also steered clear of most of its scandals

Tony Rezko. 'nuff said.

Diogenes could not find an honest man in Chicago politics.

Let’s ask again how his wife got a six figure raise on the strength of his election to the Senate. They could not possibly have expected something in return from this saintly pol, could they?

Obama was press wise the most protected person ever to run for office.
The partisanship is so high and openly notorious in the press regarding left leaning politics that it is now perceived by them as being unbiased.

Up is down and down is up in the main stream press’s world.
Their treason is boundless in what they know and fail to report to the public.

IMO they purposely select to breach the public trust for political and financial gain.

If there is EVER to be a fairness doctrine, start with the main stream press and not the radio, at least the people on radio can't hide who and what they are.

Rising so far, so fast ... coming out of the dirtiest city in America. A long list of really badly chosen associates. An embarrassing campaign that got him a seat in the US Senate. Raising almost $1B for his presidential campaign, with no checks for illegal contributions (foreign or otherwise).

There can be no reasonable assumption that this man is clean. This is all just wishful thinking on the part of the media which worships Obama as some sort of living god.

Investigative journalism is only operative when a Republican can be put in the cross-hairs.

Chroniclers like Yours Truly will be documenting every move he makes, every breath he takes... unless, or until, we are silenced by all that "tolerance & inclusiveness" he & his followers are already practicing.... ( "we in charge now" )

I'll keep doing it as long as there's something to say- or until we really are silenced.

As far as I am able, I will mirror this on our Canadian sister site, which has been moved to Panama due to censorship issues:

I love this line from John Kass of the Chicago Tribune:

"....They've been clinging to the ridiculous notion that Chicago is Camelot for months now, cleaving to the idea with the willfulness of stubborn children.
It must help them see Obama as some pristine creature, perhaps a gentle faun of a magic forest, unstained by our grubby politics, a bedtime story for grown-ups who insist upon fairy tales."
Bwahahahah......

Advocacy Journalism is killing Big Media morally, ethically and financially.

The press is who helped Obama steer clear of any scandal by not reporting his name and involvement with any one scandal. This is just sickening!

So he is some sort of hero for walking a middle ground in a dirty political machine?

Compared to Sarah Palin who took on the machine? She was fair game to be smeared, destroyed, and slandered by the media for taking the risks to change politics as usual in Alaska?

I s’pose that means he’ll be able to negotiate the likes of Chavez, Imanutjob, Putin and keep the status quo...that sure ain’t change though.

Please. Zero is now head of the Chicago Machine that got him elected, and that isn’t clean.

Telling ya’, this guy is a walking impeachment.

I hope you are wrong, but I'm pretty sure you are right. He has not even been inaugurated and we've already got this hanky panky going on.

People in Chicago have become numb to this dirty business over decades of it. They just shrug and shake their heads about it. But, despite eight years of the Clintons, most Americans aren't willing to put up with this level of open dirty pool.

The Gov was shaking down hospitals for building permits. His bagmen were appointed to the state committee that approved, or not, those permits. Obama made the appointments to the state commission. Michelle Obama got a no show,350k job at Chicago’s largest and growing hospital. The Governor’s wife was the Obama’s Real Estate agent for their house. Rezko was their partner in the house, and land. The money came from a Mafia bank.
Obama, the Governor, Emanuel all had Axlerod as their campaign manager. Ron Emanuel took Blog’s seat, after he became Governor.

Nothing to see, nothing to see.
