Mayor Kilpatrick going down...

It was only a matter of time before Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick would see the writing on the wall and plead guilty to two felonies- obstruction of justice and lying under oath. Kwame has agreed to pay 1 million dollars in restitution, spend 4 months in jail, serve 5 years of probation, give up his law license and resign as the mayor of the city of Detroit.

For those that were not aware of it, a few weeks prior to the Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama issued a statement and asked Mayor Kilpatrick to not attend the Democratic National Convention and just yesterday, Obama released another statement encouraging Kilpatrick to resign and save Detroit the further embarrassment. I guess Barack's words rung true for Kwame.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
