CHANGE CHICAGO STYLE?
Body count. In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago , 221 killed in Iraq.
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.
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?
Umm, no he started not accepting the same ol game. Refer to the guy he beat out.
OTOH
What makes your candidates more able to do so?
I'm sure it's not the fact that he stated himself, "I don't know much about economics", when it happens to be top on the list.
Nor that the very people he says he's going to clean up,...he's actually top of the pack, so I guess he's going to clean himself up? I can see it now as he looks in the bathroom mirror "You!!,..I'm going to clean you up. <shakes fist>"
You know, that board that over saw the economic situations, that your guy was on,..well by golly deregulation should do it,....it sure did. Isn't that also what he said recently, in the same era he said the economy is strong? Um this colapse didn't happen over night. But if you listened to Bush and McCain a couple weeks ago,...everything is just fine. <snork!>
He was over seeing the economy (someone who claims to not know much about economy) at a point in time when all the decisions that caused this mess were made, or red flags ignored. Then again I guess he's right, he doesn't know much about economy, that explains it.
But suddenly,.. he now claims to have all the answers to our economic catastrophe (which his deregulation and lack of over sight caused),.....before all the facts are even in too,... brilliant I tell you, brilliant.
Dam right your guy's best able to change Washington politics. <thumbs up> you betcha pal,....<eye roll>
Let's vote your guy in, when economy is #1.
Who claims to not know much about economics
Was part of the group of people he claims to want to clean up.
Has people from these very companies and lobby mutts (7) within his camp, right now (the very people he's going to clean up).
Voted in Bush's favor 90% of the time, Bush leader of those who ran the economy broke flinging money everywhere.
Chooses a VP who patronizes herself with half truths on a daily basis, even after they been proven to be half-truths.
Run's a dirty camp because that's all the reality he really has, then crys when the other side plays the game with the same rules he's using.
Yup I say we all vote for your guy.
BTW, nice and very selective cherry picking. I guess if you didn't live in or near Chicago and are neo, this prolly looks like the holy grail. That's sticking your neck out there if you don't know much about Chicago. OTOH anyone who takes on the Chicago old school politicians,.. must have some big ol nads, more so then Alaska. Trust me,...Chicago politics would swallow Alaska whole for breakfast.
I seem to smell "panic" in the room.
could be just me though.
OH!, you forgot to mention he's known to associate with terrorist.
<GGGGGGG>
