Ever since Obama took office, the media has taken note of the fact that he has brought Chicago-style politics to Washington D.C. Having lived in the Chicago area for the bulk of my life, I know quite well that "corruption" is the finger print of this Chicago-style and, for that matter, all of Illinois politics. The Illinois State prison system has been host to quite a few city and state politicians; including many of the state's Governors like Kerner, Walker, Ryan, and, now, probably Blagojevich (which would make two consecutive Governor's in a row going to jail).
With Obama and his people being practitioners of Chicago politics, it is almost inevitable that one or more of them, may find themselves in legal or ethical hot water. With health care, we have already seen glimpses of unethical behavior with the Corn-Husker Kick Back and the Louisiana Purchase. Other deals have been cut for the unions on health care and in the General Motors bankruptcy. Yes, I think its just a matter of time before some Obama official or the man, himself, is caught with the dirty hands that typically come with this style of governing. If it's Obama, we could see another first: The first Black President to be impeached.
