Comments on: I want my O back! http://www.dogwalkblog.com/i-want-my-o-back.html Rational thought has gone to the dogs!

I disagree with Mr. Obama on that one. I think that he should make a statement that says that the United States of America is governed by the rule of law and as a US Senator, he is duty-bound to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and that it would be inappropriate to weigh in on Mr. Blagojevich's guilt or innocence as well as his actions as a result. He should have called for his party's discretion and faith in the State of Illinois to resolve the matter within their established processes. While Mr. Blagojevich may be politically crippled and his reported actions appear to be reprehensible, he does have rights under the US and Illinois Constitutions. And, he is still the elected governor of the State of Illinois until he has been impeached and removed by virtue of due process. Furthermore, we are the United STATES of America where each state reserves rights for itself. One of those rights is to choose who to send to the US Senate, not the other way around. While Mr. Obama is certainly entitled to his opinion on the matter and the citizens, his colleagues and journalists all cambered for him to support the removal of Mr. Blagojevich, it is this puppy's opinion that he would have shown more wisdom to defer to the due process of law; the same process which allowed him to become the president-elect. @YesBiscuit!
