COMMUNITY ORGANIZED?…..123 PEOPLE KILLED IN CHICAGO THIS SUMMER…….
As reported by CBS:
CHICAGO (CBS) ― An estimated 123 people were shot and killed over the summer. That’s nearly double the number of soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.
In May, cbs2chicago.com began tracking city shootings and posting them on Google maps. Information compiled from our reporters, wire service reports and the Chicago Police Major Incidents log indicated that 123 people were shot and killed throughout the city between the start of Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and the end of Labor Day on Sept. 1.
According to the Defense Department, 65 soldiers were killed in combat in Iraq. About the same number were killed in Afghanistan over that same period.
In the same time period, an estimated 245 people were shot and wounded in the city.

This will be the Norm if Emperor Barackus Obamamus of Barackopolis becomes our President.
Obama does not care about anybody but himself. If he cared he would have completed his Senate run and help the people in his district in Chicago. Obama is all about the money Ain’t a D*mm thing funny.
We must not let Obama or his merry thugs take over our county.
NO to BO/JOE
YES to McCAIN/PALIN
PUMAS ROCKS!!!
WE rather have a Maverick in the White House who loves his country than a Moron who is only for self.
WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!!!!

I agree, Ladynite. We have two clear choices: Obama, who will take nationwide the corruption in Chicago, or McCain, who will leave Patrick
Fitzgerald in place to finish his work in cleaning up said corruption.

This is just so sad. And the picture is poignant. When is this insanity going to stop? I’m having a hard time believing that it is just because people don’t have money (the old Dem adage that crime increases in relation to poverty). In Milwaukee, we have seen an increase in the amount of fatal accidents caused by drunk drivers. Is it just because people don’t care about anyone but themselves anymore?
It was a telling thing for me when I learned that Obama *forgot* about monitoring his constituents who were left to freeze to death and live in live in substandard (slum) housing conditions because of his political cronies. The first of many things to turn me off about Obama.

Well maybe we can wait for an Anbar awakening to arise and happen here in the USA in the Province of Chicago , L.A. St. Louis , K.C. NYC Philly and other provinces under heavy fire . Better yet we can all just withdraw from the USA since we invaded an occupied the USA without UN approval or approval of congress and then we should all be charged with WAR Crimes for the illeagal Occupation of the United States of America.

The Lightbringer, as a community agitator, Illinois senator for the South Side and U.S. Senator (D-IL), has done next to nothing to improve conditions for his constituents!
September 5, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Obama has been on the Southside for 20+ years and his backyard is getting worse not better. Obama is the biggest fraud I’ve ever seen and the media keeps pushing him. Looks like Marxism is really working well on the Southside.

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF MAJOR HATERS. I hope you all vote for the mcsame….mccain ticket, and he and his ugly heifer can take all of you and start your own country, especially since she and/or her husband wanted to secede from the United States anyway.
September 5, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Lee…you sound like a genius……way to throw a mcsame out there….very original….it’s not cliche or anything…
btw…I am a hater…
I hate the fact that 123 people died in my city….
September 5, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Hey Lee the diference between John and Cindy McCain and Barrak and Michelle Obama is like Night and Day or Black and White , Yen and Yang , Good and Evil.
Now am I going to have to explain to you about the concept of duality or is that going to cause your Obama-driod brain circuits to overload and explode? and Yes Lee that was a rhetorical question .

Thanks for the link to the CBS site. I think I’ll blog about this myself.

Hey Lee,
On what planet is Sarah Palin a heifer? You are insane to even think that. Most women in the USA would love to look like her. She is very pretty and super skinny for having a full time job and have a child 4 MONTHS AGO, but I am sure you are a SUPER MODEL.:)

see….Common sense hnadgun bans do work!
September 9, 2008 at 1:24 am
wow lets not be bias, thats the normally crime rate in chicago for a decade it went down and just recently went up this summer and that was only by 8%
September 9, 2008 at 1:40 am
and you’re happy with that as the status quo?
Wouldn’t you prefer a leader who stood up to Daley, Stroeger, and the rest….and finally put some order in this city…
September 10, 2008 at 6:03 am
I live in Los Angeles, California and I have wondered what the crime rate was like in Osama’s back yard. I really don’t have a good feeling about Osama’s leadership qualities. My biggest fear if he is elected is the possibility of a riot.
September 10, 2008 at 8:40 am
Unbelievable.
I don’t mean to be rude, but GET YOUR POLITICIANS STRAIGHT. Instead of automatically blaming Barack Obama for these murders, have you talked to the Mayor’s office? The Governor? The local police department? Please do an educational breakdown of the responsibilities of a Mayor and Governor before you go attacking a Senator. I can’t believe how all of you have decided to blame Obama, as if he is the sole politician involved in cutting down crime. This is a really ignorant argument you all have posted. Get your facts straight. I’m from New York City, and I don’t blame Hillary Clinton for all of the rapes and murders that go on in the city. IT’S NOT HER DIRECT JOB. THERE ARE MANY OTHER POLITICIANS BELOW HER WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING CARE OF THE CRIME ISSUES. Seriously-get your facts straight.
September 10, 2008 at 8:46 am
One more thing. I love how people complain on these blogs yet don’t write a single letter or email to their governor or mayor. They don’t even make one attempt to talk to the police commissioner’s office.
There are many problems in New York City. I don’t go hating on Hillary for the guys shot a few blocks down from me. I think she has done an excellent job. If I have an issue I contact Mayor Bloomburg or Governor Patterson’s office, not Hillary Clintons. I AM AMAZED at how your ignorance is causing this uproar based on lack of education on the hierarchy of politics.
September 10, 2008 at 8:55 am
Also, what the hell does John McCain know about the southside of Chicago? This man has a proven record of a lack of honesty and integrity in his personal and professional life, particularly in this campaign. And he hires a woman from a small town who just got her passport last year, at the age of 44 years old, and chooses her to fill in for the Presidency of the United States.
I was there on 9/11. Do you know who had to make the call on what to do that day? THE VICE PRESIDENT. Sarah Palin has no foreign policy experience. The first time she ever left the country was last year at 44 years old. No offense, but I am a lot younger than that and I have travelled to 10 different countries and have met with with a member of parliment in London to discuss Human Rights affairs. And with that experience alone, I don’t even think I am at all qualified to be Vice President of the United States. Get your facts straight people. Don’t go blaming Obama for things that you should be blaming the mayor, police commissioner, and governor for. It is VERY ignorant to do that, very dangerous, and a waste of time. It is people like you who make ignorant decisions like voting for George Bush and wonder why our country is a mess. Who made the country and the economy that way? George Bush. And people voted for him simply because they didn’t like the way the other guy looked.

About 20 years ago in the windy city of Casper, Wyoming, I was privileged to serve among a group of ‘community organizers.’ These men and women served at the local mission, helped in latchkey school programs and we got involved in politics teaching on free enterprise and the constitution, helped register voters, and ran for precinct chairs all for the betterment of our communities. And we did it for free. Our pastors encouraged us to get off our blessed assurances and make a difference in our community. We knew what they preached and it wasn’t anti-American nor did they call us white folk ‘prosperity pimps’. My mentor was a hockey mom and I toted my Down Syndrome son around while doing these Random Acts of Kindness.
Meanwhile in the windy city of Chicago, Barack Obama was doing his own ‘organizing’ involving himself for a paltry $12,000 salary (coming from taxpayer subsidies) for doing what? Serving soup? Mr. Obama has not yet answered to the public about his involvement with the far-left ACORN, Bill Ayers and those who masquerade as clergy. I guess that is why he has some skewed ideas about what service really is. I am not surprised why in the recent Service Nation Summit he promoted offering college tuition credits to students for community service. Maybe he should use the acronym IDRC for his big idea. It means – I Don’t Really Care; I’m Doing it to Reduce my College tuition. Maybe he can enlist the IDRC’s from liberal colleges to get more bogus voter registrations as ACORN has in over 12 states! I think Barack Obama owes an apology to those of us who have and continue to serve from the heart in communities all over this nation. Worse yet to use his questionable service activities and his 143 days in the U.S. Senate as a qualification for the executive office of President.

Very Nice
Thank You

^^^^ lunacy. Obama was nominated by the Democratic party to represent them in the election- thats all that is required, and all that matters.
So in essence you are saying that HALF OF THE COUNTRY is “unqualified” to select their Presidential Candidate? Why? Because YOU are such a genius?

WOW! …is all I have to say… I am amazed there is so much ignorance in this country. Especially from Get your Politics Straight…. You know so much about our country and leadership across state and party lines… but yet I gues you were not old enough to remember where exactly some of the policies that have caused the economic crisis. Let me see, were to begin. Lets Start with unemployment. Unemployment was higher in all 8 of the Clinton years vs. the 8 years Bush was in office. You will find that stat on the DOL website. It will actually break it down by year…Don’t worry, I will actually give you numbers to back it up… still following Get your politics straight. Good.. ok #2. There was a push for policy revision to be passed on behalf HUD for Fannie and Freddie Mac regulations back in 1995. Let me feed you a quote “In 1995, President Bill Clinton’s HUD agreed to let Fannie and Freddie get affordable-housing credit for buying subprime securities that included loans to low-income borrowers. The idea was that subprime lending benefited many borrowers who did not qualify for conventional loans. HUD expected that Freddie and Fannie would impose their high lending standards on subprime lenders.” Clinton did this… not BUSH. Still following. here is the web link:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/09/AR2008060902626_pf.html

#3 the Wallstreet Deregulation started in the early 1980′s when the market began to slow. So I guess you would like to blame that one on Bush as well. The economy is doing poorly because there is too much bureaucracy in Washington. Everyone is concerned with his/her own political career and not the constituent’s they are working for.
As for McCain, I would MUCH rather have someone with executive & international affairs experience in office, not to mention military experience. Obama does not know how to handle his international politics. It is amazing he takes two to three days to react… Russia invasion on Georgia sound familiar… just google it and he was late coming to the party. He is a follower… a follower that believes in marxism. A man who preaches that he will not raise taxes on the middle class.. and yet voted this past 2009 democratic national budget to not continue the current tax cuts. What do you think that is going to do to your taxes? They will increase from what they are right now. But… he doesn’t say that. Read the budget for yourself. You can even pull his voting record. He has a record of raising taxes on the middle class. His home county just raised sales tax to the highest in the country at 10.25%. Who do you think that effects? Shouldn’t he have some pull in his home county? Especially with his own party? Get a clue… read…. study… actually read the bills he is voting for and quit believing everything you see on TV or read in the NY post. http://WWW.SENATE.GOV – you can pull voting records and bills.

Lastly. as far as, blaming him for the things that have happened in his district I have one word… ACCOUNTABLITY. He should be held accountable for his lack of participation in his district. Along with all the other Democrats that are in office. Not expecting accountablitiy out of our leadership is a BIG PROBLEM. Obviously, you think OBAMA is above that!
He has a choice… stand up and make a difference OR look after his newly found political career… WHAT CHOICE HAS HE MADE?!?!
ACCOUNTABLITY, RESPONSIBILITY AND LEADERSHIP- MCCAIN/ PALIN

Did obama instute a crack vile deposit/refund program in the hood when he was an organizer. I don’t see may on the ground, in the picts
November 7, 2008 at 2:39 pm
I guess it doesn’t matter now. All of your spelling errors, logically unsound and invalid arguments can’t change the fact that he is now our President-elect!

Sarah Summer is the esteemed author of the 12 hour yeast heal which I’m going to homily about here. For ages and ages I own been searching for a heal to yeast infections and I find lots of other relatives wish the equivalent as I do.I place this because it causes so many unnecessary ailments and pain like rotting something odor, arthritis, faster than repeated aging, devitalize and a publician of other problems. And that doesn’t even decorate the fundamental itching and pain.The other vast basis this query sucks is because it’s affected and there are many countries where it doesn’t exist. Why do women in these particular regions of the manufacture not procure yeast infections,I ask ? That’s central but less so than salutary yeast infections for all time.
