by the People, for the People?

The whole Rod Blagojevich scandal is one for the books. If you haven't already heard, Rod Blagojevich, an Illinois governor, was arrested in December of 08 for allegedly trying to get bribes to appoint Obama's senate seat, that he left when accepting the presidency, to Valerie Jarrett. He knew Obama wanted Valerie Jarrett to get that seat, so planned on asking for millions of dollars from rich democrats in return.

The update in the scandal is the newly found tapes, which has Blagojevich speaking to Harris on the matter, and telling Harris of his grand idea to ask Obama for money through his "people." He has not spoken with Obama on the matter as far as we know, but these tapes definately speak of his plan to do so.

Corruption in the white house has gotten way out of hand. I know Obama's senate seat is not to be appointed by the people right now, but the problem is that his seat should not only be filled because of their agenda, but also their credentials. It seems we are seeing this more and more with Rod Blagojevich scandal then Elena Kagan. Yes, Rod Blagojevich was brought to justice, but how many times has this happened without public knowledge? How long are we going to let people get sworn into office strictly because of a bribe or their agenda, rather than qualifications, without doing something about it? I think it's time "we, the people" make a stand!
