No wonder Obama has the ability to keep his head when the flat irons start flying..

Just reading the various threads up and down the line about Blago, Burris, Bobby Rush (Barack, hmmm B's in all those names.. )

If you can survive Chicago politics, I think you must be able to survive just about anything.

I also am beginning to think anyone who wants to be President, Democrat, Rethuglican, Indy, needs to put a year in the wheelhouse of Illinois politics.

Those guys play rough

1. talk about sharp elbows

How Obama came out of that muck without being covered in stains is amazing. In 2008 a member of congress has no qualms about using the word lynch in describing any opposition to a black man. The governor has a for sale sign on a Senate seat, and 2 or the last 3 governors are in jail. Wow.

Good thing Illinois politicians kept a low profile during the campaign.

3. But what does it say about the population in general? Out of touch? Uninterested?
