So it really IS a Black Seat.
Blank_o’s appointment of Roland Bussis leads to Jim (James Reynolds which lead to Obama.

That’s the current system - I agree that there should be an election. I was merely commenting on his resume, not exhaulting the choice.
You are probably right - I do fear blago will walk away unscathed...
LMAO. Blago might be mentally imbalanced, but this was a brilliant political move. It also exposes Dems for the hypocrites that they are. White guilt, anyone? Game on. Bravo Blago!
Grab the popcorn and enjoy.
A couple of weeks ago she said he wouldn’t nominate anyone, since he expected the Senate would reject whoever he nominated. But. But, would the U.S. Senate reject a Negro? Blago could have nominated O.J. Simpson, who could have run for POTUS and won, by the way. I could be wrong, but I think they call the thing ‘white guilt’. Zimbabwe welcomes you.
Appointment of Former Attorney General Roland Burris Urged for Role as Overseer in Union Administration.

CHICAGO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Jan. 18, 2003
Chicago Laborers’ Union Agrees to Unprecedented Moves
to Guarantee Integrity and Confidence in Leadership
One of the nation’s largest unions, the Laborers’ International Union of North America, was urged Friday to appoint former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to oversee administration of Chicago’s Local 1001 as part of a voluntary reform agreement. Laborers’ Local 1001 represents nearly 3,000 municipal government employees.
http://www.thelaborers.net/LOCALS/LU1001/appointment_of_burris.htm How clean can he be if a union wanted him to serve as cleaner?
“And what do you suppose Jesse Jackson, Jr. will have to say about this appointment?”

To answer that question I would have to first shift into a grossly racist, entitlement mode.
Roland is such a yawn that this is really the only way he could get another office in Illinois. He’s also not smart enough to say “no thanks”.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They are going to refuse to seat an accomplished black guy. Well done, Blago.
From his resume: National Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer for Operation PUSH from January to October 1977.
With the heat that’s on now, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Blago probably nominated the most “clean and articulate” candidate he could find. We can hope. His being African Ameican helps, and Dingy Harry wouldn’t dare not seat him.
He probably already is a subject. I'm sure the FBI is looking at everyone Blago spoke to. ....and... .Do you really think they (the FBI) turn off their recorders after Blago was charged?
SYnopsis in a nut shell from CHi CRime thread Just so you can see what Blank-O is doing....POINTING directly AT Obama..
1. Burris has gone on to receive over $1 million in no-bid, low-effort consulting contracts from Illinois State agencies under the Governors control as well as a $5000/month retainer from Loop Capital, headed by BHO homie Jim Reynolds.
2. Jim And Barack Are Very Close Friends And Have Been For A Long Time...
3. In 2003, James Reynolds, A Chicago Investment Banker Who Is A Member Of Obamas National Finance Committee, Was Recorded On FBI Wiretaps Arranging What Prosecutors Said Was A Sham Consulting Contract With A Woman They Called The Paramour Of A Mayoral Adviser In Philadelphia. His Firm Later Won $300,000 Worth Of City Contracts. (Ken Dilanian and Matt Kelley, Fundraisers Linked To Corruption Cases, USA Today, 10/16/08)
Smartest man in the world is Dilbert's Garbage Guy.
See post 74 above.
If, with dial up etc, was able to make the connection in less than an hour, think what Fitz with his staff FBI and wiretaps can do....
IMO Blank-O just “fingered” BHO!

Might be an interesting read if someone can afford it.
One the women on the jury I was on stated that 0 and Michelle were educated at an ivy league school so that made up for experience. I told her that there are a lot of educated people that are ignorant.
Burris possible mob ties here:
The Senate will not seat Roland Burris if Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich attempts to appoint him, a Democratic leadership aide said. Majority Leader Harry Reid views Burris as "unacceptable," the aide said.
