Illinois disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich is still pulling the strings. He apparently does not feel threatened one bit. After all, the state legislature only threatened to take his appointing powers away from him and never did. Illinois is corrupt all around. Whoever comes from Chicago is most likely corrupt.
Now, Blagojevich has appointed Roland Burris to take Obama's empty Senate seat. The governor says it is his duty to do so, which is true, but why this way? We know now that Burris did give Blagojevich significant campaign contributions in the past. So this could be why he was chosen. It's all about the money to Blagojevich. Burris may be qualified, but why did he even accept this appointment? This only hurts Burris's reputation.
Then after the appointment, Bobby Rush spoke. Rush was a co-founder of the Illinois Black Panthers in 1968. He says that it would be a national emergency if there was no African American in the U.S. Senate. Come on, how racist can someone be?! Just because he or she is black? Is that how it is these days? What ever happened to the most qualified candidate? This person could be white, black, Asian, Indian, or anything else.
You know, Chicago rules Illinois. Springfield and Peoria mean nothing. Just listen to Blagojevich and Rush. It's all about "our community" of Chicago.
Below is a video of yesterday's press conference:

One more time with Rush from yesterday's press conference:
Does Bobby Rush know how racist he sounds when he speaks? He brings up Hispanics, Asians and women?! My gosh. And this man is a friend of Blagojevich. How much more do we need of this fiasco?!
