Does anyone else remember that Altgeld Gardens was where Obama first started making a name for himself, and how he takes great credit for somehow "cleaning it up" and starting him on the road to "community organizing"?

Here's a link to the story. He really is a low-life.

Thanks for posting.

"..Loretta Augustine-Herron, who worked closely with Obama at Altgeld Gardens, said she could see his future being shaped by his work at Altgeld. "I always knew he was going to be president," she said. It was here, she said, that Obama learned firsthand how "you must be one of the power brokers if you want to effect change."

For all its impact on Obama, Altgeld Gardens today seems far from the kind of success story politicians like to tout.

Dozens of buildings are boarded up, with fences surrounding much of the property. The roads are a potholed mess. Blinking lights illuminate a series of towers where police have mounted cameras..."

Obama is through slumming. He used the ghetto and left.
