I don't think people should be taking cheap shots at him just because of who his parents are.This guy is doing an honorable thing no matter what party he belongs to.He is putting his money where his mouth is by joining the infantry and I respect him for it.We need more people like him to step forward for their country if we want to win the war.

It's not a "cheap shot" it's an observation of a powerful political family.

The guy may or may not be legitimate and time alone will tell what his true motives are, but he doesn't get a pass just because he "seems" to be doing the right thing.

It's not the guy's fault that he was born into the Daley family, but every Daley gets looked at closely, and he's no exception.

The Grandfather was hated by the American left as he was your classic old school ethnic a** kicker who took care of his own, the son (current mayor), has said very positive things about the President and takes no crap from anyone. Having grown up Irish Catholic Democrat I recognize these guys as the Dem Party of my youth. The son is their only hope and I bet you he is the real thing.
