Great! Obama chossing Biden may have triggered my long hoped for pile-on on Obama! Now the dirt will come out from the press.
I’m sure the “poor, black people” will be voting for these low lifes, what is the breakdown with Chicago voters on Obama v. McCain?
Nice article!
Sounds like a pretty incestuous place. Everyone involved is a FOO (Friend Of Obama).
Counting those with or without a pulse?
As for them being poor, this is Chicago we're talking about, and the indigent population is high, as befits any liberal domain.
Sounds like a good program, except for the hypocrisy.

I think you'll find that these "community health centers" are taxpayer-subsidized.
Which, of course, is just one more element of the hypocrisy.
Well how can you expect welfare/medicare cases to pay for Michelle’s $300k+ salary?
HEY...Michelle earns every penny of that salary. The fact that it happened to triple when the Obamessiah became a Senator is just a coincidence...no more. Coulda happened for anybody...whose husband was just elected to the US Senate.
No wonder she’s making so much money and is worth the $160,000 raise after Barack won his senate seat. She’s earning her keep!
. . . and whose husband steered over a million dollars in pork to the hospital.
FADE FROM BLACK
Barack Obama says... he is the one to offer change.
Michelle Obama has already made... a change at the University of Chicago Medical Center according to the August 23rd issue of the Chicago Sun Times.
She has created a program that steers low income patients, primarily poor black people, away from the UC Medical Center's Emergency Room, thus saving her employer big bucks on emergency medical care they once gave to any low encome person in their ER.
The story continues, "Obama's top political strategist, David Axelrod, co-owns the firm, ASK Public Strategies, that was hired by the hospital last year to sell the program -- called the Urban Health Initiative -- to the community as a better alternative for poor patients."
Plus, Michelle "and Valerie Jarrett... an Obama friend and adviser who chairs the medical center's board, backed the Axelrod firm's hiring, hospital officials said."
David Axelrod, isn't he another... of Obama's old friends and an associated of Tony Rezko?
The story continues: "Another Obama adviser and close friend, Dr. Eric Whitaker... took over the Urban Health Initiative when he was hired at U. of C. in October 2007. Whitaker previously had been director of the Illinois Department of Public Health. Obama has said he recommended Whitaker for the state job, giving his name to Tony Rezko, who helped Gov. Blagojevich assemble his Cabinet.
"Rezko... was a former fund-raiser for Obama and Blagojevich... Rezko was convicted in June on federal corruption charges tied to state deals."
Barack and Michelle... what else are they and their political cronies cooking up to change us?
"I never met, to coin phrase off the top of my head... a clean guy I did't like!
My name is Bender2... and I approved this ad!
FADE TO BLACK
Now, play this over and over again... and someone get me a fresh beer!
I'm sorry, but I see you're new here.
'SERIES', in theroy McAmnesty should doResult: McCain will get zero votes in Chicago.gooddecently as Chicago is now more than 1/2 Hispanic - they are the majority - and at least 1/2 of them are illegal so Juan should have that going for him. BUT, the Hispanics in Chi have replaced the Irish as the 'in' people so they're tied at the hip to Daley and The Machine. Which means they'll vote for Obama.And the Blacks which are 48% of the population (iirc) will all go to Obama too.
That leaves the 10,000 White yuppie scum Cubs fans on the North Side and they'll vote for Obama just to be cool. And so they can brag about it with each other as they walk their Poodles, and other gay type dogs, in Lincoln Park.
If any actual McCain votes showed up the election officials would invalidate them anyway due to some 'error'. (the last Republican left Chicago in 1995) /s
“Sen. Barack Obama’s wife ... involved with a program at the University of Chicago Medical Center that steers patients who don’t have private insurance — primarily poor, black people — to other health care facilities.”
Oh, oh. That’s a big no-no. It violates federal law. I’m sure the liberals in the federal No-Justice Department will get right on this.
Where’s whitey? Let’s indict him.
The problem is.....MarxistSocialistLiberalDims don't "play" fair. They go about to and fore....decrying what Axelrod and the Obama's are doing.....making money off of the poor. While all along that IS what they are doing....
Yes, I know you pointed out the hypocrisy. But that is what we should be YELLING ABOUT!!!...not giving in to their blatant pandering/hypocrisy...!!
Sorry if I'm ranting....but I'm sick of this.....crap.
