Obama avoids stain of Chicago's political scandals
AP ^ | 12/10/08 | SHARON COHEN

On the campaign trail, Barack Obama liked to boast that he was a tough survivor of the bare-knuckled world of Chicago politics. But the president-elect also has steered clear of most of its scandals, navigating a careful middle ground that has left him relatively unscathed in a city synonymous with corruption.

Question is, will this come to a head in time to just maybe keep him from getting into office? Guess I am dreaming.

What? No Barf Alert?

What do these people smoke, snort, or inject?

Sorry, forgot my manners.

I liked the Newsbusters recap of how the morning talk shows covered the story without mentioning party affiliation.

I mean, could the bias be any more obvious?

Well, Sharon, you can try to clean up his stain, or hide your blue dress in a closet, but Obammie the Commie is as dirty as they come.

He hasn't even been inaugurated and he's already doing the Clintonese Waltz.

Don’t give up. IN fact - buy a newspaper!!!

The rags are having a horrible year just when they’ve been so obvious about their pro-Obama bias.
They need to make money. Send the message that you’ll buy papers when they keep exposing Dem corruption.

Keep up work on the internet!

Don’t let this die yet!

“come to a head”? Love your turn of phrase. No, I don’t think this will mature in time. I think Fitzgerald will sit on a lot of info as his ace in a hole. Bet you he will get a SC nomination down the road or some other judgeship as payback. Mark my words.

I think mr fitz is as partisan as any other democrat.

Why stop a “crime in progress” before it actually occurs, if not to stop someone else from being drawn in?

That’s what they want you to believe.

Too bad he is right in the middle of the corruption.

I have to give credit to freeper Dinah Lord who posted the Blackie O line the other day. One of the funniest things I’ve seen on here in a long time!

Oh my... It's becoming MSM tradition to practically monthly reassure readers that Obama "avoids" this stain, "avoids" that stain... Kind of political "whack-a-mole" marathon.

I like the freeper who called Obama “The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers”

That was priceless!

If one is already dirty, how can anyone tell when a new stain “sticks?”

The media is the same color as the stains they want to keep Hussein out of. I call it the color Democrat!

There was another freeper that when speaking of Michelle Obama referred to her as “Obamarosa”

Hey, if Islam can be called a “race” by the MSM, then I can name a color “Democrat.”
