Change Does Not Mean Almost

Will the real Senators from the Land of Lincoln please stand up? Sick of hearing from both sides of the issue I wonder if anyone would care to explain why a Citizen of Illinois would accept the Senate seat of Obama from the current governor knowing that it would cause such a media backlash. I mean even Abe; would have a problem seeing the logic and reason behind what has motivated Roland Burris. For though I can see him wanting to help the citizens of his state be represented, I do have to question what was given or offered by him or others on his behalf that has not made it on the public radar. So, in the Year of Change I do believe that why a Good Man would be driven to take the Office by any means necessary. I do believe that a Great Man would and should look at the Principles and Standards of the Spirit of the Law and allow the Citizens of his State have the only voice on who will represent them in the Halls of Congress. So, in my humble opinion I hope the Senate and Roland Burris will embrace the idea of him holding the office for the next 120 days so that the Citizens of Illinois will be represented by their two senators during this time of change, but surrender the seat to the person chosen by the new governor as it looks like the current one will soon be looking for another job.
