A fascinating tale. I grew up in California but spent a couple of years in Chicago following I got from the firm. I'd an issue with rushing and appeared to gather lots of seats. My friends all explained to merely off the policeman some money and the tickets would be escaped by me. Being from California, bribing a policeman was uncommon, at the really least for me personally. 1 warm morning, I after more got stopped, 65 in 55. Nervously I asked the policeman "is not there a variety of other way we could manage this, maybe I could get you lunch". I was stunned by his response. He explained "allow it to be quot & supper. $20 and no ticket.That was really a extended time ago and perhaps things will vary nevertheless it appears issue is just a life-style there. Also bad, Chicago is a excellent town. At the really least the people are. The machine sucks.   Jaxk ten weeks previously

I will stick to my original comments, which you carefully maintain ignoring.Obama is clean. You happen to be attempting to smear him. Daley and Bush and Cheney and Nixon and Kennedy are relevant, as they're white and provably dirty.When you go waay out of your way to smear a clean black guy, a single has to wonder *why*. Why you would even try it. There seems to be no logical explanation except......   Ancient_Hacker ten months ago

"Hey, I got lambasted here by pointed out the "Chicago issue" with regards to Obama's background...."as nicely you ought to have.There is not the slightest smidgen of a hint of corruption in Obama's previous.And virtually all of the corruption is due to the old white male energy structure, very local, has practically nothing to do with Obama at all.To smear Obama simply because of this tenuous and unsubstantiated alleged connection confident sounds racist to me.Exactly where had been you when Bush stole millions from Harken? That's documented a number of approaches from Sunday.   Ancient_Hacker ten months ago
