This is an excellent and important piece on Obama and the Chicago Machine.

*snip*

While Kass calls Obama “a Chicago political guy,” he knows the Machine is multi-layered. While the hub is Chicago, spokes extend throughout Cook County, and reach deep inside the state capital at Springfield.

Because the MSM ignored the Machine from which Obama emerged, the electorate didn’t realize that voting for Obama meant endorsing politics the Chicago way. Consequently, those outside Illinois knew little about the Machine, how it cleans up its messes, and how the clean-ups can impact individual lives.

*snip*

Those are just three short stories of life and death in the Machine.

Former President Bill Clinton reportedly said of Obama, after he became the nominee of the Democrat Party, that he had the political instincts of “a Chicago thug.” The multi-layered influence of the Machine has spread from Chicago, into Cook County, throughout Illinois, and is now reaching into the United States of America. Where’s the MSM?
