In a curious column the Sun-Times' Mark Brown denies that President Obama has much to do with Chicago Politics. Curious because the preponderance of evidence that Brown offers is that President Obama is a typical Chicago politician, working in league with donors and other politicians to fleece their consituents and taxpayers. Here’s Mark Brown arguing against himself

He’s a Muslim Kenyan Marxist using Chicago tactics.
This simply isn’t true. He was up to his ears(big ones) in Chicago and Ill politics. Rezko helped him buy his house. The UofC hired his wife for a no show job..Ayers was a mentor.
What BS.
BS
I’d forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder!
Valerie Jarrett= Chicago
Head of ReElect Obama Penny Pritzker = Chicago
Rev. Wright = Chicago
Bill Ayers = Chicago
Wonder why he is considered a Chicago Thug
In the 2004 Democratic Primary for US Senate seat being vacated by Peter Fitzgerald, Mark Brown said that Daley sat on the sidelines during the primary.
Maybe or maybe not.
Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes had done some serious opposition research on Obama and had the damning information in hand (most of which was finally made public after Obama reached the White House, but was not widely known before). In 2004, this material would have derailed Obama had it been released during this particular primary race. The opposition research would have probably been much more damaging to Obama, as a relatively obscure state senator seeking to obtain his first higher elected office, in a state and local primary contest with a multiple candidate field rather than as a presidential nominee in a one on one national election.
Daley’s operatives supposedly kicked up an unpublicized intraparty fuss and pressured the Hynes campaign to sit on the damaging information that was harmful to Obama. Had some of Obama’s associations been laid bare, it may not have reflected too well on Daley since many of the same people were insiders who also well connected to City Hall.
Valerie Jarrett was one of these City Hall insiders. Bill Ayers was the son of Tom Ayers who controlled Commonwealth Edison, Chicago’s electrical utility company. ComEd executives had a revolving door to and from Daley’s City Hall.
Hynes would later claim that he did not want to conduct a dirty campaign, but it seems that someone stayed his hand.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like, it just might be a White hating - country wrecking - treasure stealing - homosexual - crime boss - Black Muslim - Marxist dictator, baby killing - constitution shreading - bastard son of a communist whore, that is also a scum sucking bottom feeding Chicago politician.
