Will Barack Obama's presidential candidacy serve his state and city by finally drawing national attention to the sleazy and corrupt politics of Illinois and Chicago?
It is all about context. The presumptive Democratic presidential candidate's politics were born in Chicago. Yet he is presented to the nation as not truly being of this place, as if he floats just above the political corruption here, uninfected, untouched by the stain of it or by any sin of commission or omission. It is all so very mystical.
Perhaps viewing Obama as a Chicago political creature would conflict with the established national media narrative of Obama as a reformer. Actually, there's no "perhaps" about it.
"I think I have done a good job in rising politically in this environment without being entangled in some of the traditional problems of Chicago politics," Obama told reporters and editors at a Tribune editorial board meeting several weeks ago.
Yes, an excellent job. Except for his dalliance with his indicted real estate fairy, Tony Rezko, a relationship Obama considers a mistake, the senator has not played the fly to Mayor Richard Daley's spider. Almost, but not quite.
"I know there are those like John Kass who would like me to decry Chicago politics more frequently, and I'll leave that to his editorial commentary," Obama said.
Not the politics, just the corruption, I said then, wishing silently that he had decried it all, that he'd stood up years ago and pointed to the list of sleazy deals, pointed an angry finger at the Duffs, the white, Outfit-connected drinking buddies of Daley who received $100 million in affirmative action contracts through City Hall.

Well, what would you expect from a Magic Negro?
Nothing magic about it. The Chicago Tribune has done everything it could to minimize the harm.
The media, working in concert with Obama’s operatives, have created an image. People are voting for the image. The real person has been craftily hidden behind a smile and glib speeches. I believe the real person is more like his angry wife and pastor.
Shermy Magic Ball says,
“When Obama’s corrupt past comes to fore, MSM will change from describing him as idealistic to “pragmatic.””
*unstained by grime of Chicago*
But stained by the grime of George Soros and
his Marxist thugs.
Can’t wait for the third Party AKA Obama voters to bitch when Obama raises taxes and plays out his Marxist agenda.
john Kass has BHO’s number, he has been smoking out Majic for a long time.

I wonder how the Chicago Tribune got a hold of Obama's opponent Jack Ryan's sealed divorce records that drove Ryan out of the race and Obama into the Senate.
