| Obama and "The Chicago Way" |
| 2008-10-07 |
| Going into Tuesday's presidential debate, the campaign of Republican John McCain still suffers from the lousy economy and that Bush hanging ponderously from his neck. With that going against him, he's running uphill, trying to remind Americans that he challenged his own party, and the Democrats, on corruption. Because of McCain's opposition to politicians who feed from the public trough, there is a road open to him Tuesday. It's the Chicago Way. Obama definitely does not want to go there. It would be a forced march for him. Obama's gauzy references to Chicago involve baseball and where he met Michelle and those blissful hours he spent as a community organizer. What he doesn't want discussed is his evolution from independent Democrat to potential White House enabler of the corrupt Chicago Democratic machine. |

| #3 ANYONE notice that if you go to Barak's website, HIS SYMBOL all but deletes the American flag? That says it all to me. |

| #2 I'd be happy to see some of that Chicago "take a gun to a knife-fight" way type stuff in foreign policy matters. Problem is I suspect it would be more along the lines of corrupt third world/UN buy-offs and bribes that will make things look peaceful (with media covering fire) as they get really bad. |
