Er, um, dontcha kinda maybe think that IF there was the slightest bit of documentable corruption in Obama's past, Romney or Rove or some other Republican would have spilled it during the campaigns?You guys are just using the old McCarthyite smear by vague geographical association. Obama never ran and was never elected to ANY office in Chicago politics. He ran and was elected to the state house. And yes, i can call it racist, as I did note see any of you denouncing any of the old white male very well documented documented thieves, the Daleys, the Bushes, and the like. So we have you guys:(1) Not a peep about documented old bad white guys.(2) Recurring smears about a clean black guy.A lot of folks might form the opinion that this REPEATED and intentional smearing of the black guy while giving the very dirty white guys a pass is being RACIST.

Yeah, ain't it great. Illinois(a pseudonym for Chicago) is the last holdout in the country for blatantly open corrupt Democratic machine politics. It harkens back to the "good ol days" of tammany hall, when machine politics was the only defense available to the mass of the nation's citizenry against the wealth & power of the plutocrats.   stanleybmanly 10 months ago

Alaska warms up in the summer.it was a mayor of Chicago who once made the statement about charges of nepotism "If I won't take care of my own family, how do expect me to take care of my city."   TheLightWorks 10 months ago

I was pulled over in Chicago in the 70's for speeding.(5 miles over the speed limit on a freeway. I was going along with the rest of the traffic but I had an Oregon license plate which is probably why I was pulled over.) The cop said "I have 3 pens in my pocket. One is $10, one is $20 and one is $50. I think you need a $20 pencil. I gave him $20 and he let me go. He didn't even give me a pencil.That is the environment Obama got his political training from. He is just doing as he was taught.   Directmale 10 months ago

no. I wouldn't. our constitution guarantees us the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. unless you can provide evidence that Obama is guilty of corruption, he is as innocent of corruption as you are.   TheLightWorks 10 months ago
