Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago.

Of course, they're all blaming each other. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren't any.

Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren't any.

State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren't any.

Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren't any!

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

And he is going to “fix” Washington politics for us. Ah, yeah.

George Ryan is no longer governor; he is in the big house. Of course he was replaced by Rod Blagojevich who is...that's right, also in the big house. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned recently. That’s because he is fighting being sent to…right again, the big house.
