I thought that too. Then I realized that the locks aren’t the ones at Louisville, but downriver. On the Illinois side.
This isn’t a KY project. It’s an Illinois project. So Obama and Durbin paying off their mob construction buddies.
Take a look at an overhead of the locks on google maps. You can’t even get to them directly from KY. You have to cross upriver at Metropolis (30 miles away) or downriver at Cairo (20 miles away)
Plenty of stuff to beat up on McConnell for. But we’re getting played on this one. Obama, Reid and Durbin are probably laughing their a$$es off that we’re holding McConnell responsible for this.
And I really HATE knowing that they’re laughing at us ...
