Obama's Odd Choice of Words

The governor of Illinois tried to sell a senator's seat for favors, hard cash, and/or a better position, and all Barack Obama can say is that he was "saddened." Saddened? Is that all? Try disgusted! Most Americans are 100% disgusted with this. Saddened is not the right word.

I'm trying to think of why someone might be saddened by this. Perhaps if that someone were a close friend maybe? Maybe someone that they sincerely trusted? We know Barack is a good friend of the governor, so maybe that's the reason. Anyway, maybe it's just me, but I think it's a strange choice of words to use.

But don't worry about Barack. If there's one thing he knows, it's disowning people. He's already disowned the Governor quicker than he could disown his racist grandmother and a lot quicker than he disowned his racist pastor. Yea that's been done.
