Cong. Bobby Rush (D-IL) is a disgrace to the the people and State of Illinois and the Congress of the United States...

It is appalling that a mush-mouthed old Black Panther (a racist group) has the nerve to assert that the blocking of Roland Burris to the vacant Senate seat formerly held by Mr. Obama...is an act of racism!

Illinois has chosen 2 black Senators (not an act of racism)...numerous state-level black officials, etc. and a black man to be President.

So if the appointment of Mr. Burris by a disgraced governor, on the verge of impeachment, is opposed by the vast majority of the citizens of the State of Illinois, and his own party...to include the black man he is replacing...does that mean everyone incuding blacks are engaged in some sort of outrage and racism against a black man?

This is some sort of case of "the white man, keeping the black man down"???

Shame on you Mr. Rush!

When the black man (Jesse White) who has to certify and seal the Certificate of Appointment for Mr. Burris finally does so...which will eventually be ordered by the Illinois Supreme Court...you can scream racism if the Senate blocks him...

Until then, the Senate has acted entirely proper in blocking him for not having his credentials...

Bobby Rush owes the nation an apology!
