Obama's Politics in Chiago

Coming out of ILL go figure: Lets look at some quick facts about that state:

Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin

Representative: Jesse Jackson, Jr.

Illinois Governor: Rod Blogojevich (arrested )

Illinois House leader: Mike Madigan

Illinois Attorney General: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)

Chicago Mayor: Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J.

Daley)

The leadership in Illinois?… . all Democrats.

Combat zone in Chicago:

Body count in the last six months: 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago; 221

killed in Iraq

State pension fund - $44 Billion in debt, worst in the country.

Cook County (Chicago) sales tax - 10.25% highest in country. (Look it up).

Chicago school system - rated one of the worst in the country.

Of course, they’re all blaming each other. They can’t blame Republicans

because there aren’t any.

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he’s

going to ‘”fix” Washington politics for us? Hope for Obama's politics? For suckers?
