Chitown Chilly For King Hussein
Resist. (HT AR15.com):
I gotta hand it to the UK press. They report stories that get spiked here in the US.
Case in point: a UK Times story on how some Chicagoans have become disenchanted with the leftist idol, one President Barack Hussein Obama. The best part about this is that the criticism comes from a major hotbed for gathering and talking current events: A barber shop on Chicago's South Side. No wonder the Matrix couldn't afford for this to get out!!
Here's an excerpt:
"Over the past year, Clay, known as Cee Cee, has watched his clients go from soaring enthusiasm to deep disillusion. Republicans, scenting blood after their stunning victory in liberal Massachusetts, have set their sights on Obama’s former Senate seat.
“Our customers talk politics all the time because they’re frightened — frightened of losing their homes and jobs,” said Cee Cee, wielding his razor on a heavily built butcher sporting a diamond earring. “I think Obama makes promises like all the other presidents but don’t really follow through. Maybe he has good intentions but he’s in the pigsty realm of Washington so his boots have got a little muddy.”
His colleague Sam is less understanding. “I don’t think he done nothing, the situation’s got worse and worse for me,” he complained. “His slogan was change but now he’s saying change is not just up to me. Well, that wasn’t what he said in the elections.”
Looks like the Kool-Aid lost its effect and reality has set in.
"The state of Illinois has been hit hard by the economic crisis, with unemployment at 10.8%. Gordy’s, which has been going for more than half a century, is the only shop left on the street, apart from the liquor store. Boarded-up windows are plastered with posters declaring bankruptcy, mortgage foreclosure, or auction.
Obama desperately tried to woo back these people last week with his first state of the union speech as his popularity slumped to below 50%. It was seen as critical after the shock of losing the Senate seat of the late Ted Kennedy, in Democrat hands for 50 years, to Scott Brown, a former male model. But his speech focused on jobs, promising $30 billion in credits to small businesses. “He tickled the ears,” said Cee Cee. “But we gotta see the follow-up.”
Even here in Obama heartland, one customer said he would vote Republican while others may not vote at all."
As time goes on, the more people find out what King Hussein is about, the less they'll like him, and consequently, tune him out. Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Obamacare are case studies. The November election will be an eye-opener. (HT UK Times):

Quote Of The Day
TEA (Taxed Enough Already) revives you.
From Acquaintances. Very humorous. (HT Anne Marie Harpen & Jennifer Casey):
"I Test drove a new Cadillac Escalade. The salesman sat in the back seat describing the car and all it's options. He explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter cool air to your butt in the summer heat.I stated the car must be... a Republican car. He asked why? ...I explained that if it were a Democratic car, the seats would blow smoke up your ass year-round."
Especially in blue states.

Believe It Or Not: A Democrat Taking On Chicago Corruption
Culture of Corruption, by Michelle Malkin.
This is a rare find indeed. This guy needs to watch his back. "David Hoffman, running for the U.S. Senate in the Democratic primary, is the former federal prosecutor who investigated sleaze as the city's inspector general, until he committed a series of cardinal sins as far as Mayor Richard Daley was concerned.
The sins? He did his job.
"The culture of corruption runs throughout Chicago's history, one hand washing the other," said Hoffman in an interview last week. "It's not about serving the public. But it is all about maintaining and controlling power."
He nailed it, didn't he??
"The presumptive front-runner is Illinois Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, a well-funded friend of President Barack Obama. But Hoffman perceives weakness there. He's going after Giannoulias' tenure as an official in the Giannoulias family Broadway Bank, and the bank's dealings with convicted influence peddler Tony Rezko.
Rezko is scheduled to testify at former Gov. Dead Meat's corruption trial in June, before the general election. Rezko bounced a series of six-figure checks at Broadway Bank that he made out to casinos. The bank has come under fire for loans to convicted bookies and others. The national Republican Party will focus on these if Giannoulias wins the primary, Hoffman argues.
"If I or you bounced a four-figure check or a five-figure check, as Tony Rezko did, my guess is our banks would say we are not interested in your business," Hoffman said. "I've been saying it, and I'm going to continue to say it. It's fair to scrutinize the record. I'm happy to have my record scrutinized. Everyone should."
Yet many Democrats consider citing their records as a personal attack, particularly in general elections. I wonder why that is??
"Hoffman angered Daley by issuing a scathing critique of the mayor's outrageously costly parking meter deal. Hoffman's investigations of illegal political patronage also embarrassed City Hall.
But what really frosted Daley was when Hoffman wired up a building inspector and later called in his fed colleagues at 219 S. Dearborn. If the feds ever focus on how city occupancy permits are granted to clout-heavy nightclubs, they might find a treasure trove, a never-ending pinata party with subpoenas instead of candy.
Hoffman also investigated that city pension fund deal involving the mayor's nephew, who received almost $70 million in investments, a deal the mayor said he knew nothing about. City Hall refused to honor subpoenas, so Hoffman again turned things over to federal prosecutors.
If you plan on parking in Chicago any time in the next 75 years, remember the parking rates were increased again and will keep going up in the years ahead.
"It was a dubious financial deal," said Hoffman. "Everybody parks on the streets, everybody uses the streets, and there was no public discussion. It makes people feel as if something was imposed upon them from on high."
Like Daley's office?
"I think that's a fair description of what happened."
Mayoral chief of staff Paul Volpe became the fall guy and was dismissed."
Somebody had to take the fall, and it wasn't going to be Hizzoner. Again, David Hoffman is a rarity, because he's a Democrat taking it to Daley and fighting corruption. This makes him a Democrat I actually like, the first one since Zell Miller. (HT Michelle Malkin & Chicago Tribune):
