Obama dares Rand Paul to show up on the South Side of Chicago now - as he mocks GOP contender's claim that Republicans are 'the party of jobs and opportunity'
As President Barack Obama hit out at Republicans who have criticized his economic policies, he singled out Republican Senator Rand Paul - who previously said income inequality has worsened under Obama's administration.
During the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting today, Obama remarked on Paul's 2013 comment that the Republican party needs to show up on the South Side of Chicago and shout: 'We are the party of jobs and opportunity'.
The president said, while smiling, it is 'encouraging' that the 2016 presidential hopeful wants to go to his hometown and that Paul would be welcomed there, adding 'we are a friendly bunch'.

He should ask them ... if the taxes they are paying are making their community better.
Rand would be speaking to a very limited audience among the Obama constituency in the South Side of Chicago if they’re paying taxes.
Thanks!
That’s a part of America Barry has never seen.
hummmmm! - a no go zone?????
Lotsa clingers there who don’t know arugala from spinach, I guess. ( I gotta give Obama credit on that, though, I didn’t know what arugala was either.)
I still don’t know what arugala is, LOL
Hey Obama..They can go to the suburbs or Galesburg, or Kewanee or Jacksonville, or Quincy, just to name a few, and see all the unemployed people they want (at least the ones that haven’t left the state). South side is the democrat’s plantation. You know that. You petulant muzzie 3 dollar whore. Bastard.
Bill ayers lives in Hyde Park. It is NOT the south side. There’s Jeffery Manor, South Chicago, Calumet Heights and Stony Island Park. Even Ayers would not be able to walk down those streets.
Yep. He wants a race riot.
Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."

Fannie, Freddie spent millions on lobbyingRaines, the company's former chief financial officer, Timothy Howard, and former controller Leanne Spencer were accused in a civil lawsuit of manipulating earnings over a six-year period at Fannie. Raines was appointed by Clinton, after serving as White House budget director under Clinton.
Raines' predecessor, former Fannie Mae chief James Johnson, is a prominent Democrat who was an adviser to 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry and was selected by Obama to help vet his vice presidential prospects. But controversy over favorable loan deals he obtained with Countrywide Financial Corp., a bank seriously damaged by the mortgage meltdown decline, prompted him to abruptly resign that post in June.
From April '08

Raines, a prominent Washington figure who was President Clinton's budget director, is relinquishing company stock options, proceeds from stock sales and other benefits. His part of the settlement is worth $24.7 million,
Tough Decision Coming August 28th '08
"Two members of Mr. Obama's political circle, James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines, are former chief executives of Fannie Mae."
Sounds like a not so veiled threat.
Classy!
That 0bama is even directly responding in that manner shows he’s one insecure little POS.
Actually, Rand should take the Kenyan faggot up on that and challenge him to a debate there.
Not a big Rand fan but that would be like bringing a Nerf toy to a gun fight. Rand could eat him for lunch.
Obolo is so far out of his league. I hope and pray that we get to see him continue to remove the vale and show his true self.
...however the narcotic vegetable Khat ...as widely consumed in North Africa is another story.
Obama is not a black American.
When growing up, He NEVER lived in a black home, he NEVER lived in a black neighborhood, went to a black school, or hung out with black kids. In fact, he was raised by white, middle class, Hawaiians, and Indonesian Muslims.
Mooch is black, but Barry never has been.
This could be seen as a racist statement because the southside is still the sh##hole it has always been if not worse and the ballarina has done just like his mentor criminals have done...nothing so we can assume that zippies statement has to do with rand paul being a cracker going into a gangbangers paradise
Plus, Rand Paul made it a point to speak at Howard University. I support his stance, like the Frederick Douglass Foundation, to bring the message where it’s most needed.
