Body count: in the last six months, Chicago – 292 killed (murdered) and Iraq – 221. Chicago is a combat zone. Who is in charge? Here’s the leadership in Illinois:
Senator Barack Obama (Democrat)
Senator Dick Durbin (Democrat)
Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. (Democrat) Governor Rod Blogojevich (Democrat)
House leader Mike Madigan (Democrat)
Attorney General Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) (Democrat)
Mayor Richard M. Daley (Democrat)
Of course they’re all blaming each other. Why? They 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.
Chicago school system one of the worst in the country. Bill Ayers/Barack Obama??
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he says he is going to ‘fix’ Washington politics?
