Obama's Idea of a "Great Mayor" Is Headed to Jail
We can't judge Obama on his record, because he doesn't have one. Most people won't judge him on his associations, alarming as these are, because his enablers in the media refuse to report on them. But we can still judge him on his judgment. For example, he dismissed the remarkable Sarah Palin as the uh uh uh no-account mayor of a dinky town that doesn't matter. In contrast, Detroit's Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, a Democrat superdelegate, was praised by the Obamessiah as a "great mayor" who has been "doing an outstanding job."
In a courtroom this morning, Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to two felony counts of obstructing justice by committing perjury. He will spend four months in jail, pay up to $1 million in restitution, and serve five years' probation. He also agreed not to run for office during that five-year span.
In addition, the mayor agreed to a no-contest plea to one count of felonious assault for shoving a sheriff's deputy in July who had tried to serve a subpoena on Kilpatrick's friend. He agreed to serve four months on that charge, too, but it will be served at the same time as his other sentence.
The deals also call for Kilpatrick to turn over his state pension to the City of Detroit, which paid $8.4 million to settle two whistle-blower lawsuits three former cops filed against the city. The mayor was charged with eight felony counts ranging from conspiracy to perjury to misconduct in office to obstruction of justice after the Free Press revealed in January that the mayor lied on the witness stand during a police whistle-blower trial and gave misleading testimony about whether he intended to fire a deputy police chief investigating allegations of wrongdoing by members of his inner circle.
In an Obama administration, characters like Kilpatrick would be running the country.
Record, associations, judgment. Three strikes, go sit down.

What is really striking about Kwame Kilpatrick, and really sets him apart from most other political hacks, is his sheer brazenness. We've all seen politicians who believe they are Teflon-coated, but Kwame gave new meaning to the term "ballsy". Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, this. Now if we could just do something about Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Newark, and Milwaukee...
Unfortunately, the residents of Detroit will just up and vote in another damn leftist who will line his own pockets while standing on the backs of those too poor to even evacuate the disaster area that is Detroit. The "renaissance" Light-bringer was referring to must be waves of people fleeing the city; I can't imagine what else it could mean. Even the dead are leaving! I've never seen a more decrepit, run-down, hell-hole of a city, and that includes Gary, Indiana (speaking of moonbats).

Sometimes justice is super sweet.

Hopefully the two moonbats, Kilpatrick and Obamamama can share the same jail cell one day. I would wager that Obamamama would make one hell of a bitch for the ex hip hop Mayor. Plus, on a even higher note, Kwame's mother, "Butt" Cheeks-Kilpatrick, might lose her Georgia seat because of the jailtime her son will serve.

Crooked is as Crooked does.
Yet another affirmative action politician, backed by a 'community (communist) organizer' who is not only unqualified, but fulfills the long tradition of DimmoCorrupt politics.
At least this one got caught and put in his place = jail, fines, no 'mandatory retirement for life.'
That last one hurts, no? He was counting on that tax payer retirement............. ROFLMAO

Warm up the bus! Looks like Obama has another "friend" to distance himself from. Detroit is the latest greatest example of a liberal paradise our elite "masters" wish for us. Change? No Thanks!

You guys are too quick! MIG got my "looking forward to a long collaboration" vis a vis "jail time" thought down, and Hemlock beat me to the "friend" comment ("Kwame, I'd like you to meet my friends, terrorists Bill Ayers and his lovely wife Bernadine Dohrn...").
"Just words...just speeches..."
