Hey folks,
Happy Sunday to you. Welcome to the Big Sunday Edition of the OPNTalk Blog.Well, it's not looking good for Jesse Jackson Jr. and Obama's New Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. According to the AP - Disgraced Illinois governor weighs legal options
The scandal continued to hound Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. and Rahm Emanuel, Obama's choice for chief of staff. About a dozen protesters stood outside Jackson's office Saturday demanding his resignation, and Republicans called for more information from Obama about Emanuel's role in the Senate selection process.
The Chicago Tribune reported that Emanuel had conversations — captured on wiretaps — before the election with the Blagojevich administration about who would replace Obama in the Senate. The report did not suggest any dealmaking in the conversations, and Obama has strongly denied that anyone on his team committed wrongdoing.
Jackson was identified as one of the candidates Blagojevich was considering to replace Obama, and a criminal complaint said his supporters were willing to raise $1.5 million for the governor to make the appointment happen.
Now do not get me wrong. There is STILL no evidence of ANY wrong doing on Obama's part. I still stand by, call me silly, the notion of innocent until PROVEN guilty.
Anyway, coming right up today?

IWA For Sunday 121408
Right after this, I have to run. You know what today is? Decoration Day. Yup. Yours truly will be up on a latter, to decorate my house for Christmas. First time ever. Friends and family are coming over and a good time will be had by all. Here is an "Only in Florida" thing. While we are decorating, I will also be BBQing some Chicken and maybe a steak or two. I have been here for 8 years now, I STILL can not get use to "Jingle Bells" and Christmas Shopping in a Tee Shirt and sometimes even Shorts. {Smile}
Be right back, with that RANT I have been trying to get off my chest for the past week. Get your coffee, get ready, here we go.
Peter
