I lived in Chicago for 2 years (2004-2006) and can attest to this political mess......I was shocked everyday of the BS I read about and learned about the DEM political machine in Chicago........F***ed up!
CHANGE CHICAGO STYLE
Body count. In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago, 221 killed in Iraq (That's 71 less).
Sens. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike), Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of former Mayor Richard J. Daley).....the leadership in Illinois.....all Democrats.
Chicago is a combat zone. Of course they're all blaming each other. Can't blame Republicans, there aren't any!
State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County(Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look'em up if you want).
Chicago school system one of the worst in country.
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.
He's gonna 'fix' Washington politics?:idea:
