Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

All through last year’s presidential campaign, right-wingers across the fruited plain warned us at every turn (and sometimes in the comments section here at Applesauce) that Barack Obama would raise our taxes if we were foolish enough to put him in the White House.
It was a mantra among these people, no matter Obama’s claims to the contrary on the campaign stump. They said he was a Marxist, a redistributionist, a tax-and-spend liberal who would take money from the pockets of hard-working, God-fearing decent folks and give it to shiftless welfare bums, illegal immigrants and his Islamic terrorist pals.
So what do these alarmists have to say about THIS? (Cue the crickets.)

UPDATE: The secretary of the Senate has REJECTED the paperwork on Blago’s appointment of Burris.
UPDATE: Burris held a presser at Midway Airport this morning before winging off to Washington:
