Body count:  In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago, 221 killed in Iraq.

Senators Barack Obama & Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, Mayor Richard Daley, the leadership in Illinois, all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago (a lot of good gun control does, huh?).

Of course they’re all blaming each other.

Can’t blame Republicans, there aren’t any!

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.

Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. 

Chicago school system one of the worst in country.

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.

And he’s gonna ‘fix’ Washington politics?  (Remember he chose a Washington insider as his VP)

Yeah, right.
