Weak politician outsmarts Obama and Reid

A report at the link below is titled An early drubbing for Obama and begins:

It was not lost on anyone that the president-elect of the United States, riding the crest of his popularity, and the Democratic leadership of the U.S. Senate were outsmarted last week by a state politician [Roland Burris] who won his last election almost 20 years ago.

Stock up on popcorn folks, the stumbling and bumbling promises to continue as Obama and Reid are outmaneuvered by impeached governor Rod Blagojevichusing Burris as a pawn.

When and if Roland Burris (pictured) claims the Senate seat from Illinois formerly occupied by Barack Obama, it will represent the greatest climb-down by an incoming president since Sam Nunn turned Bill Clinton around on the issue of gays in the military at the start of Clinton's first term.

Voters will hardly notice the missteps of Obama, however, if the media continues to report only positive stories about the president-elect. Bedsides, voters are more interested in the economy and how they will benefit from the stimulus and bailout’s promised by the president-elect.

JFK said. “ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

With BHO, many Americans will be asking “what can the country do for me as they expect government help to pay their delinquent mortgages, their medical insurance, unpaid medical bills, etc.

Many voters will be too preoccupied with the economy to notice that a corrupt, impeached governor outsmarted their president-elect and the Democratic Senate leader.
