Even Democrats! The governor of Illinois was apparently trying to SELL Senator Obama's senate seat. Yikes. If Obama really is a different sort of Politician and will be a different kind of President, he needs to make Ethics in Government THE centerpiece of his agenda. But, "wait!" you say - the economy is more important! There's more at stake with the management of the Iraq War!
If there was more transparency and accountability, perhaps we wouldn't have had rampant deregulation in the housing market, sweetheart deals brokered behind closed doors between big oil and automobile manufacturers that keep our cars chugging along at 12 miles to the gallon of sweet middle-eastern oil. Perhaps we'd have had a more honest assessment of the intelligence gathered on Iraq in the run up to the War.
This issue - holding accountable Politicians who have the power to send this Country flying off the rails - is the most crucial and important facing President-elect Obama. EVERYTHING depends on it.
