THE CHANGE THAT CHICAGO HAS NEVER SEEN

As it is now 9:50 CST Tuesday evening….it has become glaringly obvious that Lake County Indiana (i.e. Indiana’s Chicago Metro Area) is intentionally delaying the release of the election results……To those unfamiliar with Chicago-area politics this delay may seem accidental, but to those all too familiar with Chicago politics-this is business as usual.

When Barack Obama made his acceptance speech tonight, in front of his wide-eyed YES WE CAN! contingent……he talked about bringing change to Washington…he said he is the only one who can do this……his words were strong and confident……unfortunately, he does not have the resume to back his words up…..

For the last 20 years Obama has had a chance to shake the Chicago Political Machine, which has controlled Chicago’s neighborhoods for 77 years……he had a chance to stand up to the crooked Alderman….he had a chance to stand up against Todd Stroeger and the corrupt Cook County government…..but….he didn’t….in fact, he’s appeased, and appeases, the existing machine….he continues to allow alderman to accept bribes….he’s allowed our cities health care system to collapse……he’s allowed our vital public transportation system to deteriorate to a point of no return…….he’s watched a mayor destroy a city airport in the middle of the night, without permission…..he’s watched, and continues to watch Chicago’s county President abuse his power, and misuse our tax dollars…….which is hard to do, considering Chicagoans pay the highest sales tax in the country.

So, as we are still waiting for the results to come in from Lake County Indiana…because a city government is playing dirty politics…..keep in mind, this is nothing new…..to Chicagoans, this is politics as usual…politics that Barack Obama is quite familiar with, and all too willing to appease.
