OK, Do you people want to know why I keep talking about Chicago politics? Because it matters. Where do you think Obama Hussein Bin Laden came from? Huh? He's just another Chicago Machine Democrat just like Jesse Jackson, and his family all on the government payroll, and Todd Stroger and his father's cronies and all his relatives on the government payroll. Obama isn't as well steeped in Chicago Democrat party politics, but he's had to play with it enough to get to where he is now. He had to play ball with Tony Rezko, now on trial, to get his current house in a nice sweetheart deal. There were deals made to get him in that US Senate seat to replace Rep Fitzgerald.
The Chicago Machine already made one president (Kennedy 1960), do you really want it to boast it made 2 presidents in 50 years? If Obama is the Democratic candidate, the Chicago Machine will probably pull out all the stops to get him elected, including using as much of the advantages of the
1993 Clinton Motor Voter (Fraud) law as they can. They are steeped in 'dirty tricks' enough to make Hillary look like a nun by comparison. With the Illinois Secretary of State's office (driver's licenses) also being run by a Democrat, there will be a lot of 'ghost' voters for the Democrats, at least in this state. And there will be pressure brought to bear on others to vote for Obama.As far as I'm concerned, any Chicago Machine Democrat with any prominence, has had to deal with the crooked insiders that actually run the Machine. Despite the fact that it's been nearly 50 years, there are certain outfits that still have a lot of influence here.
