Prez-elect Ill.- America, meet the new boss

Do they really think we are stupid? Well I guess the average citizen knows nothing and could care less about all of this and to be honest, this is exactly what all the power brokers want. A stupid, ignorant electorate.

Anyone that watches our politicians sees this stuff go on all the time but when we bring it to the forefront, WE are criticized and bad mouthed. You are what you are, who you hang out with is your biography and you have then set the standard for your future.

To tell me that Obama knew nothing, knows nothing and hasn’t spoken to anyone about any of this is really naive.

Obama is what he is and he will bring this type of Chicago politics to the Whitehouse and Congress. We think it’s bad now, just wait.

The MSM chose to ignore all of Obamas past, they have buried any and all of his history and chose the next President for all of us. Welcome to the world of corrupt Chicago politics we will be seeing much more of it in the near future.

Just five weeks ago, in a fit of anti-Bush anger and liberal self-flagellation, 53 percent of the electorate voted to send an unknown, untested and inexperienced Chicago pol to the White House.

Who was Barack Obama? What sort of pol? Nobody knew or, apparently, cared.

Now America is learning to pronounce “Blagojevich” and discovering what The New York Times [NYT] calls “the murky and insular world of Illinois politics.” It’s a realm of open corruption, boundless greed and contempt for the law. And it’s the lifelong political home of President-elect Obama.

Surprise!

What, you didn’t know that Obama made his bones in the Chicago political machine? You didn’t know, for example, that he won his first election by getting one of his political mentors thrown off the ballot? Or about his financial support from corrupt Chicago moneyman Tony Rezko? Or how Obama and sidekick Rahm Emanuel advised the campaign of a machine hack named Rod Blagojevich?

You didn’t? Don’t feel bad. According to a post-election Zogby poll, a large majority of Obama supporters didn’t know key facts like these, either. And why should they? After all, NBC, The Boston Globe-Democrat and the rest of the Partisan Press had little interest in reporting these stories.

Instead, as the Chicago Tribune’s John Kass just wrote, the media “have been clinging to the ridiculous notion that Chicago is Camelot for months now. It must help them see Obama as some pristine creature, perhaps a gentle fawn of a magic forest, unstained by our grubby politics.”

“Grubby”? After reading the transcripts of Mr. and Mrs. Blagojevich’s political discussions, I needed a shower. Camelot it ain’t. This is the Chicago Way, and for two decades it’s been the Obama Way.

And for the rest of us, this story…
