Brother Burris you gotta go…

So we found out over the weekend that Roland Burris may have lied in order to become a senator?

Really? You don’t say? If you’re surprised by Burris’ actions you clearly don’t understand greed and narcissism

As I’ve said in previous posts, Burris’ appointment was tainted from the start and we all knew that Blagojevich was pulling a fast one over the Democrats by appointing Burris.  Yet Burris’ appointment was pushed on through because senate Democrats did not want to be seen as shutting a black guy out of their all white club.

Give me a break!

I can’t begin to tell you how patronizing that act was and how disgusted I was with the Democrats for falling for that bs pulled by Burris and his cronies.  But whatever, now we find out the man is big liar and that he wasn’t entirely forthcoming on his connections to Blagojevich.

Now, I didn’t bat an eye lid at this story but what I will say is that I’m eagerly awaiting Harry Reid’s next move.

If I were in his shoes I would call Burris in for a nice chat, sit him down in my biggest comfy chair and tell him simply, ” Bro Burris you had a good run and it was great while it lasted but.. you gotta go.” Burris is no longer the highest profile senate seat warmer he’s a political liability and if senate Democrats don’t find someway of making Burris disappear into political obscurity quickly come election time they will be counting Illinois in the Republican column.

November 4th 2008, the end of the world as we know it…

 Open letter to all of my friends..

Dear Friends..

In a few hours you and I will have the opportunity to make a difference. 

We will have the chance to raise our voices in unison in a call for change-a call for a new direction.  

If we succeed it will be the end of the world as we’ve known it and I know that you can’t wait to say goodbye to the past and hello to the future!

I am so ready to wrap my arms around a future where national unity is more important than partisan political bickering, where the health of the individual is more important than a healthy bottom line, where global peace and global security are more important than GDP and GNP  and where national reputation and image are more important than personal or party ideology.

It’s a lot to ask I know but as the most powerful citizenry in the world it’s our responsibility to take those first real steps towards improving our lives and the lives of our brothers and sisters across the world by voting for Barack Obama.

Almost two years ago, we stood with him in Springfield, Illinois as he announced his candidacy. And after eight years of being pushed and kicked around we were ready to hear his message. Today, we start taking the first real steps towards making his vision/our vision a reality.

It’s been a hard and difficult struggle and we almost didn’t get here but you’ve been valiant and vigilant my friends, battered and bruised yes, but we’re here. 

And as we start down that unexplored path with heads held high, proud hearts and the knowledge and belief that anything is possible in this great land remember this day. REMEMBER THIS DAY for this is the day that marks the end of the world as we know it and you know what we’re not scared. We’re not anxious. We’re feeling just WONDERFUL!!!

Now go vote..

CBL..
