Now that it is abundantly clear that their Messiah isn't all he was cracked up to be, angry leftists are busy pointing fingers at conservatives, accusing them of "gloating" over Obama's home turf troubles.

It isn't just left wing blogs and liberal talk hosts in a state of rage: the Obama-supporting al-Reuters wire service has jumped out in front with this thinly-disguised attack on Obama critics:

Conservatives gleeful over governor's arrest

By Matthew Bigg

ATLANTA (Reuters) - U.S. conservatives rubbed their hands with glee on Wednesday over news that the Democratic governor of Illinois has been accused of attempting to sell the U.S. Senate seat of President-elect Barack Obama.

Federal prosecutors said Obama was not connected to charges on Tuesday that Gov. Rod Blagojevich tried to sell the seat Obama vacated shortly after winning the presidency on November 4 for financial and other benefits for himself and his wife.

But news of his arrest came at a perfect time for conservatives reeling from big losses in November's congressional and presidential elections that put Obama in line to succeed U.S. President George W. Bush on January 20.

The story's shock value and explosive quotes from wiretaps by FBI investigators ensure the Blagojevich scandal is something voters will talk about amid questions about possible links between Obama and the governor.

"Folks, this sitcom just gets better and better every day. This is unbelievable! Except that it's all too believable," said Rush Limbaugh, a leading conservative U.S. talk radio host.

Obama should escape being tainted by the scandal since he has never been close to Blagojevich, analysts said, and Limbaugh did not accuse Obama of involvement in the alleged crime.

But Limbaugh said it was evidence of Democratic Party corruption.

"Both parties engage in this stuff but corruption is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, always has been, always will be," Limbaugh said on Tuesday.

The issue of Democratic Party corruption is sweet for Republicans, whose party has been rocked by a series of corruption and sex scandals that helped lead to large congressional losses in 2006 and continued with the recent conviction of senior Republican Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska.

The Republican National Committee accused Obama of making "carefully parsed and vague" statements about contact he and his team have had with Blagojevich and said the president-elect should "immediately disclose any and all communications" with the governor's office.

"DID OBAMA KNOW?"

"For the last three years, Democratic leaders cheered GOP ethics woes," said commentator Michelle Malkin on the conservative Townhall blog.

"But with the eye-popping, pay-for-play and bribery case against ... Blagojevich topping a year of nationwide Democratic scandals, the corruption chickens are coming home to roost," she said.

The Washington Times headlined its story on Blagojevich "Scandal casts cloud over Obama presidency" and many conservative websites and blogs echoed that view.

Talk show host Neal Boortz, who describes himself as a libertarian, headlined an online column about the story "The Gift that Keeps On Giving" because of its potential to revive conservatives.

"Did Barack Obama's transition team know this was going on? Heck, did Barack Obama himself know this was going on?," asked Boortz.

But why back down in the face of liberal anger? Here's why conservatives should feel free to gloat:


After two years of shoving him down America's collective throats, it turns out Obama isn't a messiah or even much of a political leader. Instead, he's a garden variety Chicago corruptocrat.


As more details emerge from the FBI's investigation, even if Obama isn't shown to be directly involved, the political and personal relationships he's had with these crooks will be enough to take the glow off of the Dear Leader.


And after eight years of relentless and mostly unfair Bush-bashing, it's now clear the left's alternative is a political unknown with a great deal of personal and political baggage. The mainstream media's role in covering up Obama's true nature was absolutely disgusting.

How could someone become president without being properly vetted in advance?


While many conservatives have abandoned the Republican Party, the left maintains an unhealthy blind faith in the Democrats. That unquestioning support invites corruption, leading to these brazen incidents.


Should Obama actually remain in office for a full, four-year term, the coming scandals are going to keep a lot of us quite busy. And thanks to the left's ill-considered worship of this odd character, conservatives will benefit from the resulting Barack-lash well into the forseeable future.

You gotta love the left: when they screw up, it's a doozy!
