Chicago Politics And the Man With the Middle Name Hussein
For the 22 month period leading up to the 2008 Presidential election, bloggers on the right as-well-as Conservative talk radio hosts such as Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh warned of the dangers of electing a product of the corrupt Chicago Democrat Machine. But you did it anyway.

The history of Chicago politics is a sordid tale of corruption, graft, and in some cases murder. In Chicago politics more resembles Al Capone’s mob than a civilized political system. The recent trouble surrounding Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is just the most recent episode from Chicago-land. Keep in mind that anything in Illinois politics that gets done does so at the will of the Mayor of Chicago. It is just the way that it is. If the Mayor doesn’t want it, it doesn’t happen.

The fact is Obama didn’t come out of Chicago untainted. He’s hip deep in the Rezko scandal. He’s still not adequately explained his connection with William Ayers. And now that the election is over, Rev. Wright is back on the warpath spewing his hatred of all things white.
Let’s not be too willing to accept Barry’s assertions that he had nothing to do with Blagojevich’s actions. A report from a television station in Quincy has mysteriously disappeared after being featured on The Drudge Report. The report documented Barry’s meeting with Blagojevich the day after the election. Not involved Mr. President-Elect? Somehow I doubt that.

Now that a Chicago Machine insider has been caught, the rest of the machine is turning their backs on him. Obama is now calling for his resignation and the Dems in control of the Illinois Legislature are in talks aimed at arranging for a special election to fill Obama’s seat. This has even prompted US Senate Democrats to warn Governor Blagojevich to not announce an appointment.

Blagojevich is not unique in Chicago politics. He is just the most public example. The goal of all Chicago politicians is to pad their bank accounts. He just was the one who got caught. Every single joke uttered over the centuries about politicians are true of each and every Chicago politician. They are all on the take, they are all looking for more power, and they all answer to a boss, Richard M. Daley.
Blagojevich made a mistake when he falsely believed that he was the boss. I wouldn’t be surprised that if it eventually is made known that the tip off about Blagojevich’s actions originated in the Mayor Daley’s office.
As for the man with the middle name Hussein, I predict that he will have even more scandals than Slick Billy Bob Bubba had. And let’s not forget Mrs. Clinton when we talk of Chicago corruption, she was born there. She may be the Junior Senator from New York, the former First Lady of Arkansas, but she was born in Chicago, IL. Don’t think for a moment that this fact has escaped the notice of the machine and it’s most visible member – Barack Hussein Obama.
