I’m trying to understand the connection and history between Bobby Rush and Rod Blagojevich. If you have any facts, please comment below.
I can’t understand why he was on that stage with Blagojevich and has been busy inserting racism charges (which I don’t see at play) into this debacle. I just can’t see why he went front in center with the toxic cloud around our Governor. Any candidate suggested by G-Rod would be troublesome to the state and nation.
Almost every leader in Illinois has been front and center against Blagojevich when he was arrested for attempting to gain from this senate vacancy. Those who have been passive (Daley), I presume are somewhat beholden to Rod (not a good sign in my opinion).
Danny Davis seems to have been the person in honor of this latest chapter in our state.
Bobby Rush was endorsing Blair Hull when Barack Obama was running for the Senate. So, his fixation on racism seems out of sorts. I have much regard for his part in supporting civil rights-but he seems selective on when he uses inflammatory rhetoric about contests in Illinois.
This Governor seems intent to take down whatever he can with his demise (interest in doing business with Illinois, the bid for the Olympics, our cost of credit, normal state affairs).
So, anyway, what’s the connection among these two men?
