barry gives another press conference and takes one question on Burris.
REPORTER: What about Roland Burris - would you like to see him seated in your seat?
BARRY: That is a senate matter. But I know Roland Burris. He's from my home state. I think he's a fine public servant. If he gets seated, I am going to work with Roland Burris like I work with all the other senators to make sure that The People of Illinois and the people of the country are served.
End of story. No follow ups. Walked off.

Michelle Bernard finally speaks up and says that Burris was legally appointed. Duh. She said that Jimmy Carter called Roland Burris that he will be a great US Senator and told him to hold his ground. Burris endorsed Carter early on. barry will listen to Jimmy Carter.
CARTER: Roland, you will make a great senator.
jonjon alter chimes in and says that Dick Durbin was pist that Burris accepted the appointment over his objections. What power does Dick Durbin have over the governor? He can't even vote for impeachment.
