The “King” is “Dead.”
King Rod Blagojevich’s political career is dead. He left kicking and screaming that he had done nothing wrong, that this is a miscarriage of justice, that the will of the electorate was being ignored. How can someone be so delusional and keep getting reelected? Does he really think that if the election were held today, the will of the majority of his former constituents would reelect him? The sad thing is that he seems to believe that they would. It might work for Ted Kennedy, but not for Rod Blagojevich. It truly has been a circus, another black eye on Illinois politics. Republicans and Democrats alike have been imprisoned and now impeached for wrong doing. This is the climate of Illinois politics. If everyone is doing it, it makes it seem right to do. A long time ago I read that we become the books we read and the people we associate with. Hang with good people and it influences the way we think. Hang with people that have challenged character and it makes it difficult to maintain good character. Unfortunately, we all know where President Obama comes from, where he learned the ropes and from whom. I sincerely hope that his judgement hasn’t been impaired. The stimulus package is not a good first sign, nor are his executive orders issued when he hit the ground running in his first week. Commit to watching him closely. He has such potential, as a man. May God grant him wisdom, grant us all wisdom.
The “king” is not quite dead yet. Just watch to see who he brings along with him.
