Where is Obama and Durbin????? MIA

Illinois has almost complete Democratic leadership, and yet even the Demos cannot agree on a budget for the State of Illinois! We have a crazy Demo for Gov, the house and senate are full of democrats and they cannot pass a budget that every Illinois legislative body has been able to pass annually for years, even with divided legislative bodies.

Where are our illustrious Federal Senators? One is too busy beating up on Bush, who by the way won't be running for President next term. The other is out beating the bushes, he is getting his licks in on George too, wanting to be the next President.

Couldn't one or both of our Federal boys take a day off and help the state boys compromise on a budget? If Obamha really is Presidential material he could place a feather in his cap by negotiating a budget for his state.

Makes one wonder what will happen when Hillary or Obama get elected to preside over the House and Senate of a Federal level. I can hardly wait, nothing will be accomplished as Dingy Harry and Nancy P all want to "have it their way"

Come on down Obama and show us your leadership abilities in Springfield, your home state, where you failed to do anything doing your term of office.

I like the way you state that "I was against the war in Iraq from day one". Which vote was it that you voted? Oh that's right you were not even asked to vote were you. You were still in Illinois serving as a House member. The question is a little harder when you have to place your name on the line instead of being able to use hind sight.

Impeach Rod Blagovich

I received an email petition to Impeach our dearly loved Illinois Govenor. Of course I signed and forwarded it back immediately, but then I thought about the issue. How can we impeach a govenor that is rarely in Springfield, seldom talks to other legislaturers, and has so much goop on his hair that it could never be wind blown?

Todays local paper told me that he blamed all the problems on one of his own Democrats, House leader Michael Madigan. It is all Madigans fault that the budget issues can't be resolved. I have actually become a little more in favor of Madigan because of his fight against the "new ideas" of Roddy Boy.

I think the issue that most miffed me was that the gov now has a plan to take away the privildeges of elected Republicans. If that isn't partison politics I guess I don't know what is. What good is it to elect official to represent you if the govenor of the state devises a plan to take away those officials voting priviledges? And how can any Democrat that supports this type of plan be anything but partison?

Maybe the only option Illinois has is to impeach the jerk! Take away his expensive airplane trips and make him fly like the rest of us waiting in line, going through security and on the puddle jumpers that fly from Chicago to Springfield. Then after he is impeached we can elect third party candidates and get rid of the partisons on both side of the aisle.
