I used to live where the Obamas lived — in Hyde Park. I never saw a cab cruising around there, looking for a fare. The community was too far from the Loop and there wasn’t enough going on down there. Sounds like another BS story.
Doesn’t matter that its BS. I’m sure that John Boehner and Mitch McConnell first wet their pants, then rushed to the White House to apologize and blame the Tea Party for the failure of the cab driver to pick them up as fares.
