Why begin this way? I am sick of the Roland Burris deal. The Democrats and the senate in general said from the beginning that anyone the former governor from Illinois appointed to succeed President Obama would not be acceptable and would not be seated.

Ok, so he pulled a fast one on them and nominated an African American male. I am not playing the race card, but we now see that the governor did. Selecting Burris disarmed the liberal senate. Ugh. So, now he changes his story/gets it straight/tells the truth. And now there are calls for him to resign.

Why did the color of his skin or his gender have a factor in his acceptability? If Oprah had been selected, would she have passed the test? Why not go ahead and select Congressman Jackson?

Why not just say NO?

If no body would be acceptable if recommended by the outgoing governor, Burris must be somebody.

I think our elected officials need a little vocabulary lesson and then a lesson in protocol and consistency.
