IOW, we shouldn't judge or critique a liberal on how effective their ideas or policies were, but rather, we should judge a liberal on their intentions.
Yep, heard that before.

People don’t value free. You get what you (we) pay for. This country is in deep doo doo if we’re seriously considering this assclown a “leader”.

But Obama didn't do squat about this or the plight or the residents. The column brings that up.
IOW, we can see that Obama doesn't give a damn about the poor. He only cares about his political supporters and buddies.

Obama says that he cares about the poor. So then, he places the responsibility upon himself for caring about them. His policy failed, the residents there paid for him being a joke of a representative and now Obama should have to answer why all of this happened.
But, in this case, he didn't care about them at all.
He cares about his political supporters and his buddies.

All McCain needs is a photo of the run down neighborhood before Obama’s community action and then a picture now. Probably same squalid conditions, just a higher population density.

Use of the passive voice. “They [the buildings] deteriorated.”
Not quite. The tenants treat them like crap because they have nothing invested in them. Screw ‘em up and let the government build more of them, maybe this time with bigscreen TVs included.

Obama: Yes, that was my housing policy, but it's not the housing policy that I knew. Obama: Yes, that was the district I represented, but it's not the district I knew.
Huh? What do those statements even mean? Take responsibility? I won't hold my breath. I'd love to hear an explanation, but I won't wait for that either. It's like the Dems all go to the 'Depends on the meaning of is' School of Public Speaking.
He was speaking about the fact Obama always wimps out and claims that the way things are now is not the way he knew them when he endorsed them I.E.: Reverend Wright for instance and his idiotic church, both of which Obama said that they were not the reverend he knew and not the church he knew and there are several other instances where things were not the way he knew them. Just weasel words on his part to deny responsibility for his actions.

Isn't he the one we have been waiting for? Did you know that Obama was a "community organizer"?
Emulate tone of "Did you know that John Kerry was in Viet Nam"...

The Boston

Does this investigative reporting piece amrk the beginning of a stealth counter-attack by She Who Shall Not Be Named?
My betting would be "Yep!"
