WASHINGTON (AP) – A House Democrat is daring Senate leaders to block a black man from taking President-elect Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat.

Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois points out that Roland Burris would be the only black man in a chamber populated overwhelmingly by white senators.

Senate Democratic leaders earlier Tuesday added an explicit note of support for Burris personally, but not for his appointment by the embattled governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich. The leaders said the Democratic caucus would refuse to seat Burris if Blagojevich appoints him, and called their stance a reflection of the scandal-tainted governor.

Blagojevich denies charges that he tried to sell Obama’s Senate seat for personal gain.

The 71-year-old Burris is a former Illinois attorney general.

@ 3:33 pm by Walter Alarkon

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) thinks that President-elect Obama picked same-sex marriage opponent Rick Warren to give the inauguration invocation because Obama “overestimates” his ability to unify people.

“Oh, I believe that he overestimates his ability to get people to put aside fundamental differences,” said Frank, the first House member to come out of the closet voluntarily.

Frank, on MSNBC on Monday, said that he’s delighted Obama was elected and that the country is headed into the “best time” for public policy since the New Deal.

“But my one question is, I think he overestimates his ability to take people, particularly our colleagues on the right, and, sort of, charm them into being nice,” Frank said. “I know he talks about being post-partisan. But I’ve worked, frankly, with Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay, the current Republican leadership. The current Republican leadership in the House repudiated George Bush. I don’t know why Mr. Obama thinks he’s going to have them better than George Bush.

“And so, to be honest, when he talks about being post-partisan, having seen these people and knowing what they would do in that situation, I suffer from post-partisan depression,” Frank said jokingly.

Frank and same-sex rights advocates have fiercely criticized Obama for picking Warren, an evangelical pastor who supported a same-sex marriage ban in California.

Frank said that Warren’s attempts to reach across to the gay and lesbian community and other groups such as Muslims doesn’t allay his objection to Warren’s featured inaugural role.

“I think Rick Warren’s comments, comparing same-sex relationships to incest, is deeply offensive, wildly inaccurate, and very socially disruptive,” Frank said. “And I’m glad he is talking to the Muslims. I’m glad everybody’s talking to everybody. We’re not here talking about not having conversations. We’re talking about singling somebody out for a great honor. And I think the president-elect made a serious mistake in doing that.”

So Caroline Kennedy wants to be the next senator for New York, Well isn’t that special? Let’s look at her qualifications,

1. ahh, She is a resident of New Yorks Upper east side

2. ahh, She is a Kennedy

3. ahh, ahh, She wrote a book

Well dog gone it, she deserves it,

Enough with the non sense, Caroline Kennedy is going to run because, she is being asked by the far left to run, and she is being brain washed into it, because of her name, This is not all that different from other high profile names, Arnold Swartznegger, Jesse Ventura, and a variety of other big name people, And the funny thing is, the ignorant people will vote these types in every time.

The same thing happens when a politician dies in office, and right away the will try to get the spose to run in the position, this is the symphathy vote, it almost allways works.

Now I like Caroline as much as the next person, but there are a lot of politicians more qualified, Heck she has not even voted half the time in the last 2 decades.

PRESIDENT-ELECT Barack Obama was “saddened and sobered” that his old political ally, disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, was arrested yesterday on charges he tried to sell Obama’s old Senate seat to the highest bidder.

Saddened? Sobered? Is he kidding?

This, from the guy who championed himself as the very face of ethical reform in Washington?

This, from the great orator who once opined that the rising seas would recede after his election?

This, from the guy who promises to kick the lobbyists out the door and down the street?

That’s not to say Obama’s hands are dirty here. Clearly, he and Blagojevich appear to be cut from a different cloth.

At the very least, Obama is not a crude dope with a runny mouth who doesn’t shut up even after everyone knows he’s being watched by the feds. And most likely wiretapped.

More importantly, there has never been evidence that Obama is involved in the sale of his own seat or any of the other big-time rancid corruption that dominates his home town of Chicago.

Obama probably should be commended for crawling out of that stinking swamp smelling as rosy as he does.

Still, it’s a little alarming that he stuck with and supported Blagojevich even after many fellow Democrats, including his top aide, David Axelrod, washed their hands of him.

Obama also opens himself up to harsh criticism that maybe he’s not the great reformer he makes himself out to be.

His reaction was “insufficient at best,” Republican National Chairman Mike Duncan said yesterday. “Given the president-elect’s history of supporting and advising Governor Blagojevich, he has a responsibility to speak out and fully address the issue.”

And Obama has about used up his favorite excuse for all his friends in low places – that they were mere acquaintances.

He tried that with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and wore it out with the unrepentant Chicago terrorist Bill Ayers.

The real problem here is that his home state’s government is under siege and the appointment to his old Senate seat is in the hands of a common criminal.

Blagojevich could appoint himself to the Senate tomorrow and start drawing his $170,000 salary from federal taxpayers right away.

And Obama’s standing around all sad and sober? This is no time for sadness or sobriety.

He’s on the verge of becoming the most powerful man in the free world and his political sway today carries the force of lightning.

It’s time for Obama to take charge.

At the very least, Obama should announce right away that he won’t replace federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald until he gets to the very bottom of this crime in Chicago – however long that takes.
