I Hear Obama's Senate Seat is For Sale! - Flumper Barflusterbutt - 12-10-2008

Serious Offers Only!

And he said that he "has not spoken to the governor about it".

:lool:

What kind of first term president, vacating a Senate seat, would not be in close contact with the governor of his home state to make sure that the person that fills the seat is a "team player"? No way Obama wasn't involved in the search for the replacement.

What if he knows the Governor is an imbecilic sheister?

Read the whole article Flump not just the headline.Obama distanced himself from this guy a while ago.He wouldnt even allow him on stage during his rally the night he won in Illinois.Imagine not letting the governor in the same party as you in the state you're from have nothing to do with your celebration in that governors state.Obama class all the way again.If this was the GOP he would already be pardoned.

I have seen all of the stuff on it. For now, it appears Obama is in the clear, but I still can't imagine that a newly elected president wouldn't have his hands all over the choice for a replacement Senator. That governor could appoint a republican if he wanted to.

The weird thing is though, this governor was under investigation for other things and this just happened to come out during the surveillance.

I liked where Obama's right hand guy (can't think of his name, but his "karl rove"....edit "David Axlerod") did an interview not long ago and was asked if Obama was helping the governor find a replacement for his Senate seat and he said, "Of course. Obama has been in close conversations with the governor about that selection......blah blah blah".

Then yesterday he had to say, "I was mistaken. Mr. Obama never talked to the governor about that senate seat"

You would think that Obama would have talked with the governor about his seat and I think thats what Axelrod was saying.From what I can tell they new this guy was toxic along time ago and have just been playing nice while keeping their distance.To not have the guy allowed on stage during the election night is a huge slap in the face to any governor.

Apparently Jesse Jacksons kid is one of the guys willing to pay for the seat.

The other weird senate appointment is Clintons New York seat and Caroline Kennedy throwing her hat in the ring.I'm a fan of the Kennedy family but to have no experience in government and because your dad was JFK you think you are qualified?Its an arrogant thing to propose for yourself and has no place in american politics in this day and age.

I Hear Obama's Senate Seat is For Sale! - snarg - 12-10-2008

caroline kennedy is just as qualified for a senate seat as obama is for his job
many senators come in knowing little about the job

jesse ventura, anyone?
ahnold the terminator?

ftr, i love the way both tweety and da flump use acting stupit as their ploy
you guys should have a show on sunday mornings, yeah:

here they are folks: [SIZE="7"]tweety and da flump!!!!![/SIZE]

Ventura was elected by the people.Arnold was elected by the people.Do you see how those people getting powerful government positions might have earned it?What has Caroline Kennedy earned in her whole lifetime?


Obama was a state legislator before he was a senator.What voter elected position has CK ever won that makes her as qualified as Obama?

I love how you think you are so smart but it takes so little effort to poke holes in all your arguments.

Well, Hillary took that senate seat with no political experience other than her husband being President. Not sure that Caroline Kennedy would be any less qualified than that.

I did hear about Jackson's kid being one of the bidders. There will be some fallout from this, and a lot of ripple effect, but I'm pretty sure that Obama will be clean, even if some reporter digs up a conversation between the two or a conversation between one of Obama's people and the governor. I don't for a minute think that Obama would have been supportive of any kind of "auction" or payment for that seat.

I also read today, that in the past 40 years, 4 governors of Illinois have gone to prison. That is fucking insane. How corrupt is that state? That's worse than Louisiana.

Actually, Caroline Kennedy without any experience could probably run for a Senate seat and win it. Same way Hillary did.

You two are fucking going senile.

snarg said she's just as qualified as Obama.I said he was already in the state legislator and that qualification alone is more the Kennedy has ever done.I've still yet to see snarg dispute that statement.

Bush is more qualified to be a senator by being elected a governor and a president.Capable and qualified are two different things.Can either of you old fucks point to one thing that shows that Caroline Kennedy is capable or qualified to be a US senator?

You both are from an era(thats dying off) where the Kennedys are the royal family of the united states.You simply are out of touch with todays politics.It is a terrible message to send to young people that your family name is the sole qualification you need to be elected.Your generations thinking is what created all the problems my generation is tasked with fixing.

She'd never win.she'd be forced to take stands on issues which she never has.Trust me you wont hear about her actually running for something because thats to much work.She's used to things being handed to her.

Keep taxing me more so that you have the money for the remodeling. And if it looks the same when you finish, don't blame me.

I'm pretty sure you'll find all the demographics of Bush's election show that people your age drove him in to office.So now that I shut you the fuck down on that point how bout the one qualification Caroline Kennedy has to be elected a US senator?

Thats cool as long as I still can blame you for being one of the head cheerleaders to one of the most disgraceful presidential administrations of all time.Nice vision you have.It only takes 8 years for you to see the obvious.

declaring yourself the winner, how like you
caroline kennedy is more qualified than the twits i mentioned
intelligence used to be important in america's leaders
you demonstrating your lack in this essential quality does not make you a winner
