Chicago.... Who Runs it?
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.
Thank you for the 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.
(Obama has selected the head of the Chicago school system as his
Education Secretary.)
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?
Good luck and may God help us.
