But Darryl, you are too quick to leap to the conclusion that Obama can't be involved at all which and for a journalist of any grade, this is like putting your head in the sand. Where is your passion for inquiry and truth – even in all its unflattering forms: the good, bad and ugly? I really hope he is not involved as this will as distract for him as it will be disappointing to all of us. If he has nothing to hide, then quite honestly, he simply shouldn’t and he should continue to be forthcoming instead of citing vaque sensitivities of an on-going investigation and going radio-silent. Huh? How can he possibly affect an open investigation when he has no involvement? Unfortunately, they have discovered more conversations that have included Obama’s Chief of Staff with Gov B as a result of those journalists who haven’t lost their objectivity and refused to accept “no” in their pursuit of the truth on our behalf. These conversations are specifically on this topic of suitable replacement candidates and there is nothing wrong with that, but in your role of framing and leading discussions in this forum I find it a great disservice to all of us, who depend on you to get to the bottom of it and hold those elected and trusted – every last one – to a simple and consistent standard of honesty and integrity. Keep up the good work – I enjoy the reads. Go Barack!

Bell Sat, 13 Dec 2008 05:37:04 +0000 http://urbanthoughtcollective.com/2008/12/11/campbell-brown-cut-the-bull/#comment-17176 Thanks to everyone for your comments! Sorry I couldn't add any comments last week, but my hard drive crashed and I was cut off from the tech world. I think we're all in agreement. Seems like Obama is just being used for ratings. Now that Rahm Emanuel has been "cleared" of any wrong doing, now the media is trying to cast a cloud of suspicion over him! Funny how the media is all over the Obama staffers who are not accused of any wrong doing, but have said NOTHING about any of Blagojevich's staff members who must have been helping him with his schemes. Good news. Most of America isn't fooled. Obama's approval ratings are holding at 75%! Thanks to everyone for your comments!

They must create "tension" with viewers, or else the programs would be totally boring. Boston has recently had its share of FBI probe targets. Massachusetts' only Black Senator who happens to be female was indicted several weeks ago for allegedly taking bribes. Its not over yet. She has pleaded innocent and the community is keyed to the outcome of this. I admire anyone seeking a career in politics as an officeholder. At AboutBlackBoston.com we feature a long history of Black Political firsts in the state beside other things going on in the city. I think AMERICA hopes President-Elect Obama will not be diminished by the situation in the news about the seat he has vacated. I think this amounts to "not much" against OBAMA, so I will continue to ignore the reporting in the news cycles. He's not a "looney lefty" but on the challenges ahead of us - the economic woes and so on - perhaps he should be by doing something extremely radical.
