Chicago Politics or I've only seen him once

[gerritm]

I'll be looking out for you, might be in Galveston though if the Bay forcast is good

We will be there around noon. We have several boats coming. Hope the weather holds.

Dirty politics in Chicago??? Say it ain't so.

Oh, btw, Obama wasn't trying to influence the CBO by inviting him to the white house either.

Of course they are all crooks Clay. I am not predujiced I dislike all politicians. Chicago is the hotbed of cronyism and you can't get elected unless you are on the take. I was hoping some other Chikago (correct pronunciation) people would chime in here and explain how the system works.:lurk5:

Does this suprise anybody???? Chitown politic's are now and will always be crooked, period!

I thought that I covered that in this my first post! Need I get into details:sifone:

Here's mine, there will also be a 30' Superboat with a shark graphic on it. Along with another 42' Fountain with similar graphics to mine.

Having lived in Chicago all my life and paid considerable attention to the political bs that exists as a status quo around here, I'm not surprised in the least that BO would attempt to distance himself completely from Blago. The funny thing is just HOW LITTLE attention was paid to the fact that Obama is a CHICAGO POLITICIAN during the campaign.

You wanna see fun...you should really pay attention to Mayor Daley's antics. He is untouchable...riding on and growing his father's carefully built legacy...and performs such magic as the overnight destruction of Meig's Field (downtown airstrip), selling all the city's parking meters to a company that immediately raised the prices so high that you could NOT FIT enough quarters in the meters and they kept breaking, to telling the public that they would not be on the hook for the proposed expenses of the 2016 Olympics, and then promising the Olympic Committee that Chicago taxpayers would gladly pay for any overrun. It's like were in some bizarro world over here...politicians lead a completely separate existance than the rest of us...and there is a new story EVERY SINGLE DAY.

The Meigs field ordeal was really over the top. Well put Mikey!

Can you imagine the number of crooked politicians they would grab if one of the Federal Agencies did a sting just like the one that caught all the Jersey politicians. They would have to build a bigger jail.
