September 23rd

Chicago, Illinois

Due to a personal phone call from Barack Obama, the Illinois Senate joined the Illinois House in overriding the current governor's veto of an ethics bill that goes a long way toward ending "pay to play" politics in the Land of Lincoln.

Without Obama's directive to outgoing Senate State President Emil Jones, the bill was likely to die. But as a result of Obama's intervention, on Monday, September 22, it was overriden by 55-0.

So, Obama is accomplishing, in deed, a lot more than the addle-brained McCain who is running on a platform of hypocrisy, with his key response to any criticism appearing to be that he was a prisoner of war nearly 50 years ago.

he'd use his influence to stop Blago's (IL governor) closing of state parks. My brother-in-law is losing his job over that.
