This is great Obama will surround himself with corrupt politicians from Chicago. All of our problems are solved.
So?

Wouldn't you, if you ran for office and were to select a "cabinet" of some sorts, choose people that you've worked with before and who you trust? Also, why do you treat Obamas presidency as an apocalyptic event?

In case you hadn't noticed I did not mention Obama in any of my posts. What do I know about his impact on South Chicago?

Who does Obama think he is selecting people he knows from his own political area for his cabinet and close advisors... has no one told him that once you're in the office of US President it is mandatory to surround yourself with war profiteers, hawks and Zionists (well at least he got 1 out of 3).

He picks experienced people who can help him do his job, lowing bitches.

If he picked unexperienced people, lowing would still bitch saying that they have no idea how Washington works, probably throw in one of his self accountability lines, etc.

Can't win tbh.

Tell me lowing - who do you propose he picks exactly?

Its a great city no doubt, but not the best. . . . . . Keep in mind you are still in the midwest, and the midwest is kind of a toilet.  Maybe I have a bias, I am only 30mins south of San Francisco.  San Fran is great but its dirty, bums are everywhere, and too many liberals/homo's for anyone to really want in such a small city.  Not that I hate homosexuals (my cousin is a lesbian), its just in SF its "over the top" if that makes any sense.

LA, Fresno and Sacramento are ALL dumps!!! San Diego and San Francisco are the only towns worth spending "real" time in.  LA has SOME really cool spots but its really crowded and full of idiots.

But no proof they're corrupt. Yes? No?

Every major city from the US is corrupt in one way or another. To generalize that all politicians from said city are corrupt is frankly, well....grasping at straws. That's like saying Bobby Jindal is corrupt because he's the Governor of Lousiana which holds New Orleans which is corrupt.

If McCain was elected and picked Rudy Giuliani (who's way more likely to be corrupt than anybody Obama's picked) for a cabinet position I bet you'd have been fine with it.

Do you really think the republican party is full of angels or something? C'mon.

Nope, I don't

But Chicago corruption is as much set in historical fact as is SF liberalism.

Politics and corruption go back further than Chicago and corruption.  They go way back...they went to preschool together.

Then there's nothing further than that. The entire topic is based on completely unwarranted speculation based on the fact that Chicago has been a corrupt city in the past. Obviously his choices are going to be heavily vetted...do you think he's just going to pick some guy he was pals with back in Chicago? Yes, he might be friendly and have good relationships with some of the people he's picked, but that doesn't mean they weren't thoroughly checked out beforehand.

I mean, you know, republicans are so innocent from that anywa---oh wait..

Actually some things can be said further.

His "buddy list" was/is full of highly questionable characters ( to say the least) to say the most it was full of terrorists, racists, and felons.

Hardly the sort of crowd Bush or McCain would hang around...

Palin is a saint in comparison.

Can't, democracy in action prevails. This time around the voting booths were flooded with people who think Obama is their meal ticket.

You mean guy-who-he-served-on-a-school-board-with-to-help-urban-Chicago-schools-and-had-no-real-relationship-with Bill Ayers is in his cabinet?

Onoz!

Again, no proof. Offer some proof the people in his cabinet have radical and corrupt ties and maybe this discussion can get going, but until then you've got nothing.

You remind me of this guy:

Say what you want about her, but even a lot of Republicans I've been hearing think she's a good choice.

Although I'd much prefer Chuck Hagel.
