How ironic it is, to see those once hopeful Dem presidential nominees, one by one, to fall from grace, ranging from the sex scandal of Kent-doll John Edwards, to now Bill Richardson's withdrawing from Commerce Secretary nomination vetting due to the awarding of several state contracts to a company that contributes to his campaign while he's governor in New Mexico.
Given the intense vetting of cabinet positions, I often wonder out loud how much vetting there is for any presidential hopefuls. Supposedly, if the media would do its part and pass each candidate under microscopic examination, dirty laundry would come to light. Well, apparently it didn't happen with Edwards and Richardson. Given that Obama had been the media darling and poster boy of the media, providing headline-wrapping stories during the long campaign season, it's doubtful too many in media would want to see him failed.
Imagine how it'd have been like, should Edwards or Richardson have become the Dem nominee or even presidential winner. Imagine what dirty laundry Obama would have in his closet, given the strong elbowing in the Chicago politics. Judging from the close-loop feel of the so-called "investigation" by the Obama team, for the Obama team, regarding the senate-seat-selling scandal by the Chicago governor Rod Blagojevich, it doesn't inspire confidence at all in the incoming Obama administration.
The Obama campaign of "Change That We Believe In" sounds more and more like a ridiculous tagline that mocks those who voted for him. It's just a matter of time before this so-called historic candidate would make real history to come out with a major scandal at some point in his administration. I'm waiting to see, and I would be the first to admit that I'll be very glad to see him going down.
