Burris: Chicago pastors and Washington ethics group weigh in

February 19, 2009

Time for Burris to step down say Chicago black pastors according to AP

A Chicago minister tells The Associated Press he and other black pastors who previously supported U.S. Sen. Roland Burris now plan to ask him to resign.

The minister spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because a meeting with Burris hadn’t yet been scheduled. He says the senator can no longer serve effectively.

Many of the city’s black pastors supported seating Burris because of his scandal-free reputation — even though he was appointed by then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich after the governor was arrested

And the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington want him expelled via Lynn Sweet:

Executive Director Melanie Sloan: The evidence suggests Sen. Burris lied under oath when he failed to disclose these contacts earlier. As a result, prosecutors should investigate and see if Sen. Burris can be prosecuted for perjury.

Separately, the Senate Select Committee on Ethics should commence its own investigation to determine if Sen. Burris lied to Senate leadership or the Senate Rules Committee when the Senate was considering whether or not to seat him.

If so, the ethics committee should recommend that the Senate expel Sen. Burris for improper conduct that reflects upon the Senate.

Mr President allows top US diplomat to enter office $6M in debt

January 31, 2009

I think this says it all about our new president. Madame Secretary still has a $6M debt - having taking a 13 M personal loss. barry had $30M left at the end and the week before the election was spending money to run ads in Arizona as well as other places he knew he would never win - all the while not paying off Clinton's debt and not asking his donors to do so. That is the true nature of the man. Forget his words - it's clear how little words really matter to him as they are never born out in action.

Imagine for a minute if it were the other way around. Would barry have been allowed to get out of the race with any debt? What would be the outrage? Instead the media laughs and ridicules Clinton's mother for having to make last minute pleas to pay down her daughter's debt.

How many stump appearances do Clinton do to get barry elected? And what about before he was officially coronated?

No other candidate has ever done that. And her thanks? Pay off your own damn debt wench.

Use your Clinton name, go stump while I go to Hawaii on vacation and on my world adoration tour, get your voters to vote for me - but damn if I'm gonna be an honorable man and pay my due to thank you.

How much actual time has barry spent in photo shoots? Filming documentaries? Making press appearances? Take 1/10th of the time and put it toward fundraiser dinners and her debt would have been paid off - including her personal debt. Gone.

And not a single person has shamed him or brought the issue up. He spends $7M to move the convention outdoors. He spends well over $2M for Grant Park. He spends untold millions on his world tour, the documentary commercial and his whistle stop trip. The Inauguration was well over $150M. He raised 3/4 BILLION dollars and yet his opponent is left to pay down her own $25 M debt.

His pick for Secretary of State he has allowed to enter her new job having lose $13 M of her own money and still owing $6M.

He has allowed the top diplomat of the United States enter a job he appointed her to - knowing full well that she would not be able more funds and her husband's fundraising efforts would be severely curtailed - and the national media says not a word.

At the height of his popularity in December he could have given two maybe three appearances and cleared her debt. He didn't. As his nominee and #1 member of this team of rivals crap, she was only able to raise $1.6M.

What does that say about him?

And who advised Mrs Obama about how to handle the press and her children? Who will be there to ask when she has more questions?

Clinton is there when anyone - the Obamas - need her but is treated like crap otherwise.

Words don't matter?

Nope. Not his. And he has no actual actions to judge.

What is it going to take folks for you to see who this man really is?

And you wonder why so many people do not respect him?

Dear Pro-Obama media members:

Who among you is going to be most embarrassed by your obamerism?

Who among are going to feel shamed by your treatment of barry's opponents?

Do any of you possess the same level of integrity as you had prior to choosing to become a mouthpiece of pro-obama propaganda?

If you had one - would your journalism teacher be proud of your acts? Your granddaughters?

How many of you who used "POW card" will have the honesty to look Senator McCain in the eye and sincerely apologize for making light of his half decade's long torture?
