The following article was linked by Jeralyn at Talk Left. Mr. Gonzalez reveals important information not being exposed by the media regarding Senator Obama's past actions in the Senate on many issues.
I only hope it's not too late for people to open their eyes and realize we've got a real champion in Senator Clinton, ready and willing to lead our country out of the huge mess that will be left once GWB and his wrecking crew are gone.

I recall this as a humorous statement intended to shift the blame for one’s failure to fulfill an assigned task to someone else. It seems quite apropos in light of recent Foleygate events. What particularly brought it to mind were Denny Hastert’s bizarre off-the-wall assertions that Bill Clinton, “liberal” ABC News, and George Soros were to blame for his failure to report a sexual predator among Republican Congressional ranks.
He made my head spin with his accusations and explanations as to why he had waited so long to take action against Foley. Initially, he inferred that Clinton might somehow be involved, noting "All I know is what I hear and what I see. I saw Bill Clinton's adviser, Richard Morris, was saying these guys knew about this all along. If somebody had this info, when they had it, we could have dealt with it then."
