Will Barack Obama confront scandals head on?
It’s hard to imagine a timelier moment, or a more compelling convergence of circumstances, for Obama to signal the seriousness of his promise to reform the way Washington goes about its business.
The scandal’s Chicago angle, the jaw-dropping nature of Blagojevich’s alleged deal making over the president-elect’s newly vacant Senate seat, and the prospect of an ethically tainted senior Democrat shepherding a key part of Obama’s agenda — they all suggest Obama can hardly avoid speaking directly on the question of a debauched culture.
In this case, however, he’d be raising his voice against people he knows, who have supported him and vice versa.
“Within hours he’s got to make a public statement,” said Bob Edgar, president of Common Cause and a former Democratic congressman. “Obama should look right into the camera and say the process should move forward, that he had no knowledge of the case but that this is a wake-up call for all his new appointments to serve the public trust.”

From my viewpoint Barack has big problems to overcome and thats why he has been so quiet on the Blagojevich corruption! He does not know for sure what is on those wiretapping tapes and is worried about saying something that he will have to retract later!

It is bad when his own party is talking about his lack of answering questions.
It’s dawning on the Dem establishment that they don’t know anything about this guy, that they’ve never had to do business with this guy, that they’re not even sure *how* to do business with this guy … and that it may not *pay* to do business with this guy. Obama’s shot his wad. That peak experience that he afforded so many thoughtless voters at the polls a month back was a one-shot affair. Now he’s just a question mark covered in bad news.
From YOUR point of view, Obama has “big problems to overcome” on anything and everything! Any potential scandal of any sort will satisfy your anti-Obama urges, GTP.
At least you’re consistent.
