SHOULD THE U.S. PULL OUT OF CHICAGO:

I believe the following piece and the title originated with thefounderskeeper.com. Linden particularly likes the last line.

--
Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago
compared to 221 killed in Iraq , and Chicago has one of the strictest
gun laws in the entire US.
President: Barack Hussein Obama
Senator: Dick Durbin
House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
Governor: Pat Quinn
House leader: Mike Madigan
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats .
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???
George Ryan is no longer governor, he is in the big house.
Of course he was replaced by Rob Blagojevich who is...
that's right, also in the big house.
And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago.
That's because he is fighting being sent to...right again, the big house!
The Land of Lincoln , where governors make our license plates!!!!
