Lines started forming three hours before the morning service, and many longtime members were literally left out in the cold as the church filled with outsiders eager to see the new President. Even at St. John's, which is so accustomed to presidential visitors that it is known as the "Church of the Presidents," worshippers couldn't help themselves...

...Governor Rod Blagojevich. Blagojevich’s decision to sell then-Senator Obama’s seat was despicable, and equally upsetting was his installation of Senator Roland Burris as the junior senator from Illinois. Blagojevich should not have been given such power after his unlawful actions, and the circus that ensued afterward was truly an abomination. The appointment of a new senator should have been made fairly and lawfully, and, most importantly, not by a person who was indicted on corruption charges and soon thereafter impeached.

...want to deal with the media circus when Manny returns - just ask the San Francisco Giants, who a few years ago had Barry Bonds on the roster, how the constant scrutiny can distract a team. There will be taunting on the road. The fans will be wielding some nasty signs: Ramirez reportedly may claim that he took a banned drug called human chorionic gonadotropin to cure erectile dysfunction (the female fertility drug also happens to elevate testosterone levels, which get drained by, coincidentally, steroid use).
