Long...but fascinating reading.

I don't like Obama either but let's try to be a little fair here. First off, Slum Lords for Obama is not the title of the real article. So the developers got money to help pay for the building of low-income housing. So what? How does that make them or Obama the bad guys? The real story here SHOULD be that brand new housing was built for these people and they destroyed it within a few years.

How is this 4th rate political Chicago hack the Democrat nominee for POTUS? It just defies explanation.

Wanna bet every tenant in Grove Parc will be voting for him come Nov.

"...Grove Parc and several other prominent failures..."

Man that bus must be about 80 feet off the ground by now.

"Slum Lords for Obama..."

thousands of apartments across Chicago that had been built with local, state, and federal subsidies — including several hundred in Obama's former district — deteriorated so completely that they were no longer habitable.

I am tired of people complaining about "deteriorating" housing - its the subhumans that occupy them that cause them to deteriorate beyond repair in the first place. Then, like locusts, they move on to destroy another once-proud neighborhood.
