Governor Says He Is A Champion Of The People, And Thus Doesn't Mind Low Approval Ratings
CHICAGO (CBS) ― Gov. Rod Blagojevich shot back against recent polls have that have shown abysmal approval ratings, saying he's happy to get his "ass kicked" as a champion of the people.
At an event on Thursday, Blagojevich defended his record by saying he has pushed for programs that are meaningful to the people of Illinois, such as ensuring free rides for seniors on CTA buses and trains, and pushing for a ban on foreclosures.
"All of those things happened because we had to push and prod and fight through the system to get it done for people, and if I get bloodied up in the process, and there are some times when people are just not generally approving, I feel honored to get my ass kicked for the people," Blagojevich said.
A week ago, a poll by the Chicago Tribune indicated that approval ratings for Blagojevich had dropped to just 13 percent. But Blagojevich has been raising funds to run for a third term even though reports say he is the subject of a federal investigation.
Clueless GovernorWait ! He's a champion "of the people", and that causes him to have low approval ratings? He's as clueless and criminal as any Democrat. He should just appoint himself to Obama's seat if the unthinkable happens. I'm willing to share this

Dem with everyone else. Besides, his already low ratings would let him fit right in with congress.

Blowmeyoubitch.
