truthone:

I've just heard the statement that Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick made regarding her disappointment in Prosecutor  Worthy and I am apalled. Whatever the outcome of the legal issues at hand , Kwami Kilpatrick has made bad decisions that have led to this.

Ms. Worthy has done nothing but her job and from today's media coverage, appears to have done it honourably and well. Something Kwami should have been doing all along and he would not find himself  faced with this now.

It is time our politicians and all elected officials begin to see that we expect no less than actions that speak to integrity and the highest good of  all the citizenry in the daily decisions  we see being made. We have  not seen that from him and enough is enough.  

Carolyn Kilpatrick should be expressing her disappointment in the bad decisions her son has made, even as she supports him in making the best ones for the city as well as his family in the days ahead. That is what a good parent does. To deny and place blame on others instead of assuming responsibility for one's own actions is reprehensible. It is one of the earliest lessons our children should be taught. Shame on you Mother Kilpatrick.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

KK will never be an effective leader again.He might as well remain defiant because it doesn,t matter. THE PARTYS OVER

YOU BET; foxydog; the parties over. Want to lay wages on how long it takes Carlita and the boys to split???? As long as he remains defiant,,, he has a little leeway/barganing chip. If he quits,,, where's the barganing chip? Gotta keep at least one in your back pocket,, if you're not packed to leave yet.

Kilpatrick is getting what Coleman A Young should have got 25 years ago...

KK should go hide behind his mama's skirt.  Beatty better think of her children or is she guilty of something else????? HMMM   Who/where  is the father of Ms. Greene's last child??????

                                                               Happy

                                                                  Not Happy

Well I guess it's a good day in Detroit, hats off to Miss Worthy I liked the way she spoke it was clear and understandable. No fancy legal words that would leave us scratching our heads.  Now what, I guess I hope a few more heads will roll at City Hall and the police dept. That would be good.  Who will be the one to talk, mmm may Christine after all he's done to her.Also what is up with that deputy mayor, what an ass. He must be afraid of something/someone?? maybe he's next. How many will be held in contempt of court the one name I heard  is Peoples is that a relative of the mayor. Just clean house. That lawyer of KK's reminds me of a sneaky snake. I heard on the radio that this story made to breaking news in Britain. Now he is the laughing stock of the world. Now when will we hear the truth from the fired cops. I want to know about Tamara Greene and will the other two be strong enough to come forward. Can Granholm or Cox remove KK from office now?

Perhaps, you should leave Mr. Coleman Young out of this.  He was not married and did not cost the city millions to pay for his pleasure!  Four good officers lost their jobs and good names from this mess.  Bowman, Mr. Brown, Nelthrope, Harris

KK should go hide behind his mama's skirt.  Beatty better think of her children or is she guilty of something else????? HMMM   Who/where  is the father of Ms. Greene's last child??????

And whats you're point there RayStar? Your right in as much as Mr. Young (of whom was not married, but fathered a fatherless child, non the less) doen't belong in this forum anymore than GWBush belongs here,or Clinton, and I've even heard on a radio station where Sarpton jumped in today, but people ARE entitled to their opinion..... and this is the most POSITIVE OPINION's I've heard since this Farse broke loose. I like to hear/read the positive input.

Yes he should pay for his lies. But in reality he won't pay for them because he gets paid by the tax payers so they are the ones that pay for his lies. Deb

Whatif - the voting, taxpaying public actually acted responsibly for a change and held their elected, free-wheeling, junket fact finding, above-the-law politicians accountable for their actions?

Whatif - Kwame and our elected officials, whose salaries we are paying, actually had some ethics, honor and integrity?

It is despicable to see so many misguided residents state, publically no less, that Kwame shouldn't resign.  So much for an educated, elightened and free-thinking electorate.

I feel  that if you do the crime then you do the time in jail .Just becauseyou are the mayor . That does not  mean nothing to me . So Kwame quite your crying  like a baby  and take your  punishment

The people of California recalled the governer before Arnie... Why can't the people of Detroit recall their mayor?
