Does anyone else remember that Altgeld Gardens was where Obama first started making a name for himself, and how he takes great credit for somehow "cleaning it up" and starting him on the road to "community organizing"?

Really worked out well, didn't it.

Wonder if he will play this video for the Olyimpic Committee when he asks them to bring the games to “his” Chicago.”

The one positive I was hoping to come from 0bama’s election came from Bill Cosby saying that the time for excuses had ended and if 0bama could be president, it was time to study and work hard. But you can’t erase decades of moral decay in 8 months.

Nor did his ‘talk to the school children’ inspire these kids.

Bummer should go back to the Gardens and give them a stern talking to.

That is so sad. Look at how the dimwits by their lies and rules have made these animals.

"That's why I didn't walk to school today. I had my mom drop me off 'cause I don't know what's gonna happen while I'm on my way to school."

i don't know how or why any parent continues to send his/her child(ren) to that... nothing is worth it...

Try them all as adults and see they get at least 60 years without parole if not life.

I believe you are right. This is the place where a woman spearheaded the asbestos removal, and later the credit was all taken by the Nefarious One.

If only Acorn hadn’t been cut off at the knees by those nasty conservatives, this whole incident could have been avoided through their youth outreach programs (sorry, just getting a head of the spin).

Here's a link to the story. He really is a low-life.

Yep, O’bozo’s old community organizing on the southside of Chicago. They’re such happy campers there they kill each other off at the rate of 32 a month.

Just what we all want in organized little communities in our town that can hold sway over our government entities by gangland tactics.

When you hear the phrase "affordable housing", know that O and friends have a scam going. Last fall, the Boston Herald (or maybe Sun--just know it wasn't the lib Globe) published an article about the housing development O and Ayers iniated on the South Side,and interviewed a tennant.

The place was shoddily built with foundation and gov. funds, and was not maintained. A huge number of units were empty and falling down. It was a horrible slum, this "affordable housing" although less than 10 years old. Valerie Jarrett handled the building and management if I am not mistaken. The old media ignored the story, which was of a typical Chicago thuggery scam built on grand promises to take care of the needy, and millions pocketed by the leaders.

It was worthy of Zimbabwe.

This community does not look well organized.

I guess these are the results Ayers and 0bama achieved by spending $100 million to improve Chicago public schools.

Saw only two pictures of what appeared the 'perps' here so am wondering about the names here. Adoptees - 'Black' Irish - or what? Perhaps my eyes or my info, deceive me?
