Mr Clean goes to D.C.

According to former US Representative from Rhode Island, Patrick Kennedy, the White House and political operation of Obama--the dude who promised to end business as usual in DC, it's a "quid pro quo" operation. Kennedy admits that most of the folks he deals with in the White House are old friends, but he says it is still important that they know he is not a "slouch," and he figures his $35,000 contribution to the re-elect campaign will guarantee administration cooperation on his pet project. Obama was going to heal the vitriolic dialog, and get things done.
To start with he should have told Harry Reid, the guy who has done absolutely nothing in his position as majority leader for three and a half years--except hold votes on Obama's budgets, which have gone down in flames all three years-including when Harry had 60 democrats. And while we're on the subject of business as usual, Obama must have been talking about the previous democrat administration when entrance to the White House was referred to as a turnstile-put you money in the slot and come on in. That however was NEVER said about the Bush administration, and you can be sure that if Brian Williams could have proved that it would have led the news every night for 8 years.
So Mr Clean isn't so clean, but then we are not surprised--it is Chicago politics after all.
