1. Chicago politics sound like they’d fit in quite well with the UN’s way of doing business.

2. Obama’s concern with low-income housing mirrors Jimmy Carter’s. More and more and more, he sounds like a tanner version of the peanut farmer.

3. On the one hand, all of these housing projects have been abysmal failures across the country, where-ever they were built. On the other hand, according to the Atlantic article this month, if you take the project people out of their habitat, they take their crime with them, and start being predators to their new middle-class neighbors.

It does seem to me, however, that taking them out of the projects and funding them for an extremely limited amount of time (like the current welfare program is limited) is the better way to go. I don’t understand and don’t agree with providing poor, lazy, and/or stupid people with free housing for the rest of their lives.

And if that’s what Obama wants to do, then he needs to take his ideas to the UN.
