I swear, the old lady in the second pic looks just like HM Queen Elizabeth.

Is she tearing up about what Barak did?

Community Organizer Obama never finished what he started,
note the date of the article,
the resident still have asbestos 21 years later;

On the Streets of Chicago, a Candidate Comes of Age
As a community organizer, Obama was a pragmatic leader

Perhaps his most confrontational effort was to pressure city authorities
to remove asbestos from the apartments in 1986.
When the on-site manager didn’t take action,
Obama nudged the residents into confronting city housing officials
in two angry public meetings downtown.
These generated “a victory of sorts,” Obama said later,
as workers soon began sealing the asbestos in the buildings.

But the project gradually ran out of steam and money.

In fact, some tenants still have asbestos in their homes,
according to current resident Linda Randle, 53,
who worked with Obama in the ‘86 anti-asbestos campaign.

She is! She served in WWII as a mechanic, probably always had firearms. She’s not a commoner, you know.
