Obama’s Senate Seat Must go to an African American, or You are RACISTS! [COB6]

I almost named this post “Sorry Harry, No Reach Around”.

Today the embattled Illinois governor announced that he is appointing Roland Burris to take President elect Obama’s senate seat.

Even before his press conference, Harry Reid went on record saying that he would block any appointment made by Blagojevich.

Blagojevich responded by punking Harry Reid like the bitch that he is. He is going to force Reid to block an African American who would become the only African American in the US senate.

Blagojevich is a criminal but he is probably closer to the democrat norm than most realize but he is far more politically suavvy than even I realized. Blago is majorly pissed at the entire Democrat leadership who through him under the bus and he has apparently decided that he will humiliate as many as possible before going to prison.

To really put Reid (and possibly Obama himself) in his place he called a press conference and after announcing Burris to fill Obama’s seat, he rolled out a ringer; one Congressman Bobby Rush.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush of Chicago said today during Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s press conference that one of the reasons former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris should be appointed to fill President-elect Barack Obama’s U. S. Senate seat is because Burris is black.

“Let me just remind you that there presently is no African-American in the Senate…this is just not a state of Illinois matter,” he said. “I would ask you to not hang or lynch the appointee as you try to castigate the appointer. Roland Burris is worthy.”

“Hang or lynch”? Seems to be fairly racially charged rhetoric doesn’t it? Well, it should. Bobby Rush is a racist and bigot who has made a career of being a racist and bigot in a congressional district apparently full of racists and bigots.

What’s that, you never heard of Bobby Rush?

Mr. Rush has quite a storied past; perhaps I should say Rev. Rush since he did in fact graduate from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. But long before that he was in the US Army before going AWOL in 1968 where he immediately became co-founder of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panthers.
In 1969 Bobby increased his street cred by spending six months being somebody’s prison bitch on an illegal weapons conviction.

Even though he has been endorsed by hard core communists, he is still vbery popular in his district primarily because he is a huge advocate of reparations for African Americans.

To really drive the point though, Blago rolled out Bobby as the guy who defeated Barack Obama in the president elect’s first run for congress.

This ain’t going away folks. As a former Obama mentor would say, the chickens have come home to roost.
