Nothing to surprise us now, right?

We couldn't possibly be so surprised as when we find out that there is such extra-ordinary corruption within our democratic form of government.

Why?

Is it so important to sell your soul to the devil , just to get to the top?

In an article in Salon Magazine, "What do the Clinton's have on Obama?", the question, asked and answered, proves one thing.

Power corrupts. Absolute power will destroy.

Although we are stuck with choices made yesterday, we can only hope that whatever is in place now, we are in deep dooo dooo, if we don't make changes for tomorrow.

What has happened to Gov. Hot Rod in Illinois, didn't just happen. Over the course of many years of plotting and scheming in Chi (pronounced "shy") town, some of these allegations come from Tony Rezco's recent felony conviction.

Remember Tony? He and his wife, sold the house next to them, to our President-elect and his wife. Some of the scenarios of Michelle and Hot Rod's wife job resumes sound the same, or at least the desire on the Gov.'s wife's part. She wanted a job like Michelle's, paying 6-figures, as part of one of his deals. I just don't think he was able to obtain his goal, do you?

Apparently, all this has been coming since Rezco's conviction and rather squeal, softening his incarceration time, he came forward with all he knows...I somehow doubt that he will be "that" honest. After all, he knows, a pardon is just a door knock away.

In Prez-elect's news conference today, the PE said he had not spoken to Hot Rod in way, shape or form, about any sale of his senate seat. Only time will tell...unless the FBI could be complicit in hiding information from us...and phone records hidden...not that they would do that, would they?
