Body count. In the last six months:
*292 killed (murdered) in Chicago (this in a city/county where handguns have been banned since 1980!) 221 killed in Iraq
*Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike), Mayor Richa rd M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)...the political leadership in Illinois...are all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago . Of course they're all blaming each other. Can't blame Republicans 'cuz 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? Yeah, right!
