By the end of his first (and only) term, we will be lucky if as a nation we are in any better shape than he left Altgeld Gardens.
It sure would be interesting to talk to those ladies that “mothered” him when he was there.
This guy is a complete phony. He had a hand in turfing out loads of residents from the worst Chicago housing projects. They were shipped to various downstate towns and have wreaked havoc on their new towns. The crime rate has skyrocketed in the small town where I graduated high school. Please, God, don’t let him do to our country what he did to the small towns across Illinois.
Obama saw an opportunity to get what he wanted on the backs of these people. In all his time in Congress; I bet this was the last place he was thinking about except maybe to exploit them.
Is the MSM beginning to awaken to the monster they have created?
Thanks, Candor7.

Obama is arguably the most successful con artist in all of human history. He had to learn his craft and hone his skills somewhere. Apparently the Chicago projects were a big part of that education...
Obama did nothing. Ever.
He is an expert at re-arranging the pencils on his desk.
He got to be the President of the prestigious Harvard Law Review - and once in, never wrote a single article. He just re-arranged the pencils on his big fancy desk.
He got to be a lecturer in law, and worked in Academia, but again, never published a single thing - in 8 years. He did, however, re-arrange the pencils on his desk.
He was a “Community Organizer” who was to fix urban violence in Chicago. In 2008, more Americans were killed by gunfire in Chicago than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. He must have been busy re-arranging the pencils on his desk...
He was elected to Senator and yet again, did not do a thing but re-arrange the pencils on his desk.
Now, he used his broad experience to become elected President and is already creating new offices for himself, like the Office of the President Elect - a place of solace and comfort with a big chair and desk and a lot of nice pencils to re-arrange.
God help us.
A great percentage of the people who voted for Obama are people who devoutly believe that whoever is in the White House determines their success or failure in life. What will they say four or eight years from now if their pathetic lives remain unchanged as the day The Great Spreader took office? Which is highly likely. Will they be disbelievers in the idea of Big Government Is Great, or will they engage in paranoid fantasies about Obama’s work being sabotaged? My guess in the latter. Anyone who believes a particular poltitican makes or breaks their personal lives will believe anything.
