Obama is a product manufactured in Chicago and foisted on America. Sheriff Joe is one of the very few that attempt to go after this phony president. The important fact is that this is Chicago’s ‘gift’ to caring American citizens.

Perhaps U.S. should pull out of Chicago ?

Body count: In last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago

221 killed in Iraq during same time AND Chicago has one of strictest gun laws in entire US

Does THAT tell you anything?

President: Barack Hussein Obama

Senator: Dick Durbin

House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.

Governor: Pat Quinn

House leader: Mike Madigan

Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)

Mayor: Rahm Emanuel

The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.

Thank you for combat zone in Chicago .

Of course, they all blaming each other.

Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!

Chicago school system rated one of worst in country.

State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.

Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.

(Look ‘em up if you want).

This is political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois .

And... he’s gonna ‘fix’ WASHINGTON POLITICS? He’s fixing it okay in a way that will cause serious illness to this nation for decades to come!

Anyone with half a brain knew that there was no way a politician out of Chicago was “clean” in any sense of the word. Emmanuel’s changes to the way the police force can respond to the gang warfare going on has only made things worse (he took patrolmen OFF the streets where they had developed relationships with the citizens on their beat - the innocent ones), and then made it an “us vs. them” war between the gangs and the cops. A COMPLETELY calculated move on Emmanuel’s part - no doubt about that at all.

And, yes, even the thought of a Republican being elected in Cook County always seemed like a fantasy to those of us living in Cook County... Seems even more of a fantasy now. If anyone was serious about cleaning up Chicago they’d have to arrest (likely more than) half of the city’s aldermen that have ties to organized crime (mafia, OR “street gang” ties). And, good luck with that!

Most of the violence is in specific parts of the city, and it seems (as in the past as well) that unless these *wars* actually fan out into the “good neighborhoods” nothing will likely be done to stop it, and the rest of Chicago will ignore it as per usual... As long as they’re only “killing each other” no-one seems to care - even if they are killing innocents during their wars. The economy is a huge factor in the amount of killings as well - all thanks to their homeboy Obama... As if electing someone with ties to the Black P. Stones as PRESIDENT wouldn’t have a HUGE effect on the gangs in the city? Too many people are absolutely CLUELESS, and others it would seem just don’t care, or can’t believe that it’s possibly true...
