TPM:Here are just nine ways he is great and good:
• He has been pushing the House to pass a capital construction program, a jobs program that would create 500,000-750,000 jobs.
• His commitment to health care comes from a religious conviction, and learning the Golden Rule back in Sunday school.
• He has pushed for the House to expand the breast and cervical cancer program, on behalf of the 261,000 uninsured women in Illinois, and to "keep moms alive to care for their children."
• He has saved senior citizens 30-50% off the cost of their medications.
• He saved a woman from breast cancer.
• He saved a young man with kidney disease, getting him a transplant.
• "And in many cases, the things we did for people have literally saved lives," Blago said. "I don't believe those are impeachable offenses."
• While the legislature is trying to throw him out office, he's trying to pass a bill to stop people from being thrown out of their homes.
• And finally, he quoted the great poet Alfred Tennyson:
though we are not now that strength which in days of old
moved heaven and earth --- that which we are, we are;
one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will, to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
though we are not now that strength which in days of old
moved heaven and earth --- that which we are, we are;
one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will, to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
