The charges aren't against the President-Elect. He needs to mind his own business and let DUE PROCESS take its course. He does believe in Due Process

Carbon-based materials and coatings was the winning project for Fraunhofer's Center (click here) for Coatings and Laser Applications (CCL). The benefits of carbon-based coatings are its electrical, thermal, optical and mechanical properties. Industrial applications range from the automotive industry to biocompatible implants, fuel cells, cell phones, and micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technologies, optical and electronic applications.

Obama to name Nobel physicist Steven Chu as Energy secretary
More names leaking out for the Cabinet of Barack Obama and his White House team.
Our conscientious colleague Jim Tankersley over at the Swamp has just reported that at a news conference Thursday in Chicago the president-elect will name Steven Chu, the 1997 Nobel Prize-winning physicist from Berkeley, as his secretary of Energy.

...While still continuing in laser cooling and trapping of atoms (click here), I have recently ventured into polymer physics and biology. In 1986, Ashkin showed that the first optical atom trap demonstrated at Bell Labs also worked on tiny glass spheres embedded in water....


The Governor's Plight is pettiness for a nation with the problems the USA faces. President-Elect Obama needs to continue his focus on his transition before that is derailed by his participation in gossip.

The Governor of Illinois is on trail by MEDIA. There is such a thing in this country as Due Process and I strongly suggest he seek good council and pursue it with vigor. By asking the Governor to step down, President Elect Obama is playing 'The Shame Game.' It is unwise to start down that path and become a Tabloid Darling.

He needs to continue to oversee the transition and allow the laws of the land to precide. If I were the Governor I'd be moving before a court to sue the networks for attempting to place public pressure on his decision making rather than allowing the courts to do their job. I would want a 'Gag Order' to stop THE MEDIA CIRCUS. I wish him the best of luck.

The media is compromising the opportunity for a fair trial and Patrick should be moving before the courts to insure there is no way the case can be compromised more than it has already been, but, if Patrick keeps calling on Dead Presidents there is a good guess he is vying for an interview with Vanity Fair.
