    Home of Obama.

    What did you expect? Just wait a couple more years and he will do it to the US.

      Mar 06, 2014 06:53 PM

      Man, you really don’t like this guy!

        You can believe it.

        I do not like to see the US being destroyed.

          He went off in what I believe was the wrong direction and simply did not change the course.

          Unfortunately Professor 51% seem to agree.

            He has never once admitted to making a mistake, as far as I know. He always goes into a lying mode to cover up.

      Obama’s real home is grass hut in small Kenyan village.

        Who really knows?

    The story tells an expected tale.

    Do you know what’s really funny?

    We have a Marxist President, who is actually, in everything he does, making the rich relatively richer and the poor relatively poorer. (Of course, like every practical Marxist I’ve ever heard of, he’s also living high off the system.)
    Why do I say Obama is deliberately (of course, ignorantly) making the rich richer and the poor poorer?
    Think about it. What do the rich have that the poor do not?
    Answer: Assets.
    How do you make the rich richer and screw the poor?
    You make assets increase in value and cost of living rise so the poor can’t save.

    What does excessive government spending do?
    Answer: It weakens the dollar and makes prices inflate.

    So what is Obama actually doing?

    He’s making the rich richer and scr*wing the poor, and the d*mb-asses love him, because he’s from the government and he’s here to help you.

    When will they ever learn?

    (From an equal opportunity offender.)

    Moody’s answer is to increase tax rev…………raise taxes and chase business and people away, good idea.

    why not cut spending and graft?

      Part of Chicago’s problem is precisely because of the City taxes and the State taxes, companies and,indeed, just ordinary people have been leaving.

      Of course, it is also a “safe-haven” city, so it has a large number of illegals, not paying taxes.

      Great question, Butler Investor!

      Somebody has to pay off the debt. Might as well have U.S. taxpayers do their part!

    She thinks she’s going to run for President next year?
    I’ve news for you Hillary. Hitler lost. (After 10 million died)
    Who will lose next time at how many dead?

      Saw this a few days ago. Bad choice of words, Mrs. Clinton!

        She said it off-mike as a throw away remark a few days ago.
        She was foolish enough to repeat it on mike this morning, after Russian troops are in Crimea.

          Not really bright was it!

    And New York and Los Angeles not far behind.

    After the next bear market, the unfunded pension liabilities will be so far out of whack, that MANY cities and towns across the country will have to re-negotiate retirement benefits.

    Bottom line — municipal, state and federal government has been busy making promises over the past several decades that they can’t keep.

    Does Chicago have any industry, maybe they have a lot of people sitting at computers producing X’s and O’s, digital infrastructure won’t produce much other then a game called tic tac toe. Try selling that to the Chinese who produce real goods and buy gold. DT

      It used to be the Headquarters of Sears and Boeing, but lost them both in the last few years.
      Lake Michigan does connect to the Atlantic Ocean, so it is still a major grains and meat exporting center. However not many firms are still headquartered there.
      Many have moved to Indiana. Caterpiller still hQ Peoria, I think. But there was massive industry in northern Illinois until taxes killed it off.

      You mean they make something actually tangible?

    Obama did nothing when he was a legislator in IL -he voted present to everything. So what did people expect now?

    Part of the reason he was elected was that he is clean cut and articulate individual-unfortunately this characteristics only as an atty in court to persuade jurors.

    If you can”t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bulls&%$

      For years, he was a union organizer destroying productivity in Illinois, when he was not doing borderline illegal graft. (Look into how he got his house)

    don’t have to look back on his house–Penny Pritzker was instrumental in raising funds to buy the Obama estate in Hawaii–she is now Secretary of Commerce.

    Every think in this adm is bs–so called equal opportunity to get a job with this adm is chicago politics–what can you do for me personally.

      I was talking about his house in Chicago, which had zoning changed on it most mysteriously, changing a lot from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

    Mar 06, 2014 06:32 PM

    This is one reason the state is called Illnoise.
