- Senate Democrats yield to Obama, retreat on Burris: Senate Democrats beat a hasty retreat Wednesday from their rejection of Roland Burris as President-elec t Barack Obama's successor, yielding to pressure from Obama himself and from senators irked that the standoff was draining attention and putting them in a bad light.Burris said with a smile he expected to join them "very shortly."
- Roland Burris Denied His Rightful Seat In The Senate: I seem to remember, and the Democrat leadership probably does as well, a time when then President Clinton was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice (the Senate lacked the 2/3 majority vote to convict), and he was impeached by the House. During this time I don't recall that he was denied his right to act in the capacity of President. No doubt that Blagojevich is most probably guilty and will ultimately be removed from office, but what ever happened to due process.

But Obama passed over black candidates in selecting Cabinet nominees for positions central to setting policy for urban America, such as the departments of Education, Labor, and Housing and Urban Development. Hispanic Americans, by contrast, have been nominated for three Cabinet positions, and politicians from that constituency have hailed Obama?s nominations.
