Jackmo,
The majority of America is covered with "small towns" like Wasilla, Alaska. And, she has been in the Governor's Office about as long as Obama has been a Senator.
I am satisfied the "Troopergate" story is just a lot about nothing. Now, on the other hand... Obama and Jeremiah Wright is what we saw... William Ayers is a self proclaimed domestic terrorist and Obama's friend. Tony Rezko is a convicted Obama fundraiser and business associate who is probaly going to be sentenced to a minimum of 14 years for influence peddling. (Jack Abramhoof... the Republican "Devil" only got 4 years).
Sarah Pallin got real ethics reform enacted in Alaska. Obama is a member in good standing of the most corrupt political machine in existence in our country, Chicago/Daley... Show me one speech or vote by Obama while he was an Illinois State Senator where he spoke up and renounced the Daley Machine... the "hired truck scandal... the continued violation of the anti-political favoritism in employment court decree in Chicago and Cook County. You won't be able to because none exist. Obama would not cut his own throat or cut his own ties to that cash cow of "pay to play" in Illinois.
I feel like the country has gone deaf. Everyone makes fun of the Daley political machine. Everyone is aware that numerous Daley appointees and political operatives are indicted, convicted and serving time from the "hired truck scandal", Operation Silver Shovel, and on and on... But, everyone turns a blind eye to Obamas involvement and ballyhoos his comeing "change" as if he is some reformer... NOT!
