'Chicago Is an Example of What Makes This Country Great'

[ratherfish]

"In campaign remarks yesterday at the Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago, Illinois, President Barack Obama praised his adopted city, where he lived before becoming president of the United States. "Chicago is an example of what makes this country great," Obama said. His audience applauded."

"There are 228 dead: That's the number of murders this year in Chicago. It's nearly twice as many as the number of Americans lost on the battlefields of Afghanistan over these last six months. And the number of deaths is up 35 percent over the same period last year.

There was a time it was called "gangland" Chicago and maybe that time has returned."

Resistance is futile.

What can I say? He's proud of where he comes from.

Exactly.

I "HOPE" he doesn't "CHANGE" Virginia into Chicago!



We cant afford security details like him and the creepy ballerina!

If "Chicago is an example...", things are much worse than I thought.

You can get a good hot dog there. Whether you'll live to tell anyone how good it was is another story.

I hated Chicago. Every time you stood in line for service, the the person serving you acted like the guy in line in front of you pissed them off! Just like New York City!

Most yankees have no COMMON civility.
