Oooh, the Obama's are on the move - it's really gonna happen!!
1It's too bad for Burris that, even with the cleanest hands, his appointment is tainted by having been made by Blago.
2I wonder if the Dems are going to accept Blagojevich's pick. More drama.
Good luck to the Obama girls... I remember starting a new school. Scary!
3Jude I agree.
I also love how dragging race into this is somehow relevant. It has NOTHING to do with race! Oy.
4Roland W Burris and I are related. This totally sucks. I got Plaxico in one direction and this man on the other side.
When will my family stop?!!

6Unfortunately I'm not joking. I sincerely wish I was.
