Mr. Burris: I Am Here
Roland Burris is in Washington and plans on showing up for duty in the Senate today. The guy was picked by embattled Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to serve in the Senate to replace Barack Obama. The Democrats in the Senate have vowed not to seat Mr. Burris dues to the governor’s problems.
This will get interesting. Mr. Burris is black and many people say this is about race, but that is just not true. The guy seems to be very qualified and ready to do what is right. But we will see. This is not what the Senate needs or the country needs at this time. And the Democrats are going to look mighty stupid if this all plays out in front of the cameras.
Later on today we will get a good idea of what will happen. I am sure the media will be there to cover it all. It could be fun. More later!!
According to at least two unreliable sources, one being Blago, Reid did not want another African American in the seat, especially one who can win again in two years. It is so disappointing to me that the democrats are making a mockery of this process. Who needs the republicans to tear down the party? Has any republican even weighed in on this? Harry Reid is a joke.
