Blagojevich’s Coup In Appointing Roland Burris to Obama’s Senate Seat…

With Obama moving from the Senate to the White House, the US Senate would have zero black Senators. Since the Republic was founded, only 5 blacks have sat in the Senate:

In Reconstruction era

In modern era

I don’t care what nonsense Harry Reid wants to spew about Blagojevich having no integrity or what not, the fact of the matter is that no way, no how would the Democrats hope to retain the Black vote in future Congressional elections if it is perceived that they denied the only Black man (and a qualified one at that too) in the Senate his seat…

Of course the fact that Roland Burris is my fraternity brother, doesn’t hinder his cause in my eyes

Here’s the video of a most interesting press conference.
