Under the heading of 2009 predictions, let me make one that I was not ready to make a couple of weeks ago.
In other words, I believe that Obama has a lot bigger problems in Chicago than meets the eye.
As someone said: Most of the iceberg is underwater! (Was that person on the Titanic?)
"No doubt the president-elect didn't want 2008 to end this way - with the ghosts of politics past lurking at his doorstep.
For Barack Obama, 2008 was a momentous year.
He was the first person of his background to be elected president.
But now some of those who helped get him there are involved in an unseemly series of maneuvers that remind voters that Mr. Obama's rise the highest office was fueled, partially at least, by the high-pollutant engine of Illinois politics."
It's hard to believe that Obama sailed through Chicago's corrupt waters without getting a little smelly.
My guess is that Pres. Obama will spend a lot of 2009 dealing with Prosecutor Fitzgerald's investigation of Chicago politics.
It won't be pretty. It will also be very distracting.
It won't be good for the country either.
However, this is what happens when you elect people but the media spends all of their time looking for dirt on Sarah Pallin.
P.S. In the meantime, enjoy Dennis Miller with Bill O'Reilly:
