I don't hear much about Barack Obama's experience. So I decided to do a flyover of the neighborhood where Obama served as a state senator. Specifically, the apartment complexes rehabbed and managed by his biggest backers. Folks like convicted felon and (17-year friend of Barack's) Tony Rezko. And top campaign officials like Valerie Jarrett.
Here's just one of the partially uninhabitable properties called Grove Parc Plaza Apartments, a 1000-unit complex. Quoting from the Boston Globe:

it’s remarkable how little
obamao’s done in his life,
and his rapid rise to the top.
Maybe there are updates on the inside? /sarc
A practically unopposed run for the US Senate; that’s an open door we may come to regret. Alan Keyes got 27% of the vote.
The lefty New Republic had a lengthy article in September about Obama’s CO days-

Here are the money quotes buried in the article-
” Indeed, during his three years in South Chicago, Obama was constantly having to scale back his objectives as one project after another faltered.
First, he got community members to demand a job center that would provide job referrals,
but there were few jobs to distribute.
Then, he tried to create what he called a “second-level consumer economy”
in Roseland consisting of shops, restaurants, and theaters.
This, too, went nowhere. “
Barry X failed at everything he tried , but, don’t tell the MSM.
Obama will do for America what Hitler did for Germany.
People keep sending me emails comparing him to the Anti Christ, what you just said reminded me again of those emails. God help us all if he is elected.
Just finished watching Greta’s hour on Fox. Some really good stuff about Ayres, she is doing her job, unlike the rest of the media.
FYI
Idiot.
"Jamie Kalven, a longtime Chicago housing activist, put it this way: 'I hope there is not much predictive value in his history and in his involvement with that community.'”
What....else....is....there...to...go...on???????
I am speechless....
“A practically unopposed run for the US Senate; that’s an open door we may come to regret. Alan Keyes got 27% of the vote.”
And he was unopposed in his state senate run.
So am I. How has he gotten this far?

yep.
i really do believe that obamao is evil.
and much of the liberal-socialist destruction of american public life, schools, universities, media, using race to divide, ... also evil.
That mirror over the bed will be in the Lincoln bedroom of the Obama administration.
Did Alan Keyes bring up the missing original Birth Certificate issue?
once he's President, he can lift a finger and rivals will be vanquished for him.
not a good situation.
Rezmar(Rezko’s company) was supposed to provide 1,025 apartments for the poor. But today:
• Six of its 30 buildings are boarded up.
• Seventeen went into in foreclosure, most after Rezmar abandoned them.
• An 18th building is being foreclosed on by the state.

That's it. Confirmed. We have definitely entered The Twilight Zone.
