Chicago Clergymen Stand By Burris

January 6th, 2009

Burris

Former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris isn’t getting much love from President-elect Barack Obama or members of Congress these days, but scores of African-American clergy are lining up to support the controversial appointment of embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich. On Sunday, about 60 ministers were called together by Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), who has been critical of his fellow Democrats in Congress for rejecting Burris. Read the rest and see video here.

Thank you MOGVIBE, I am so sick and tired of SIMPLE MINDED AFRICAN AMERICAN’S, this black man, just could not go along with the flow, he had to step his IGNORANT self up and allow the WHITE MAN to use him, he just had to get his GLORY, he just couldn’t understand that BARACK did not play the RACIAL GAME during the campaign, and if he did he used STRATEGY, so here come’s MR. STEPPIN FETCHIN on the scene, to act like the all time famous UNCLE TOM, and he could care less about messing thing’s up for BARACK, someone need’s to go and get him, and all of the other SIMPLE MINDED AFRICAN AMERICAN’S and lock them in a closet some where until after NOV 20th!!!!!!!

Mr.Burris seems like a very well spoken man. he’s a wonderful role model for our black youth. I’m not sure why some of you are making disparaging remarks. These are the same type of remarks that were made against Mr.Obama. Not black enough,uncle tom,sell out ,talks like a white man. We all remember the comment Jessie Jackson made about our President elect. What has changed in the last year to make you all fall in love with Mr.Obama. he’s the same man he’s always been. It’s wonderful to hear a black man speak proper english,without being referred to as acting white. Educate yourselves. God Bless

Although I currently don’t support any of the Democrats, I’m appalled by the way that Mr.Burris was treated. I think that he was legally appointed to take President-Elect Obama’s place in the Senate. What’s amazing is that it’s Democrats who are treating Mr.Burris so badly. So what if Gov. Blagojevich is facing impeachment. When Pres. Clinton was facing impeachment, he still made political appointments.
I don’t agree with Mr.Burris’ political affiiation, but with that said, he seems to be qualified to serve, has respect of the public as well as a reputation that isn’t tainted by scandals. He seems to be a real gentleman as well.

This is not against Mr. Burrus or his reputation. Mr. Burris may be extremely qualified and entitled to the seat but he should have denied this position with respect until this Blagojevich controversy was cleared up. Mr.Burris has been put in a bitter/sweet position. Anyone recommended by Blagojevich will be tained by association. It’s not fair to the innocent but it’s reality although constitutionally there no real reason do deny Mr. Burris a seat.
