Chicago Is Like Kryponite...

For President Obama...
Obama’s Chicago melted down all around him. In one weekend, with Obama back home, 35 were injured, 7 killed in gun battles. Included in this violent mess was a 16-year-old girl. Three of the murder victims were killed in one hour on Sunday morning. It was the third weekend in a row with gunshot murders and injuries in the double digits.

The police are out gunned and under siege. This toddlin’ town has descended into anarchy. This is the town our president proudly calls “home.”

Chicago is the murder capital of America. There has been a 50% increase in violence in the past year. Gangs roam freely, killing young children, the elderly, and even pregnant women execution style.

Drugs are rampant.

Guns are everywhere in the hands of criminals, while law abiding citizens are banned from defending themselves. This is the result of the gun control laws that Obama supports so strongly. They have turned Chicago into a swamp infested with murder, rape, assault, home invasion robbery, car-jacking, and muggings.

This is what happens when you ban guns. Criminals run free, unfettered by the same laws that wind up leaving good people defenseless and dead.

Additionally, Chicago, Cook County and Illinois are just about broke...
The Cook County treasurer recently reported debt of over $108 billion. That’s over $63,000 per household -- for a CITY! Just pension obligations for government employees alone are over $50 billion. The treasurer said he was “stunned.”
The 0bama campaign is taking Romney to task on his record in Massachusetts...that's fair IMHO...so can we use the results of the former community organizer/state senator???

Chicago sounds a lot like Chester, PA.

I guess Rahm, once again, isn't getting the job done.

In his defense, the Rahmfather inherited a complete mess and from what I can tell he's got the right priorities and is going after the problems and trying to get things cleaned up.

There is a difference between being a State Senator and a Governor. A Governor is actually responsible for running things besides his direct staff and is thus responsible for results. This lack of direct accountability makes it difficult to hold a former legislator responsible for how things are going in his/her hometown/state. That lack of administrative experience should be a negative on the campaign trail though. It's why I prefer Presidential candidates with gubernatorial experience, they actually have a body of work that shows whether they actually know what they're doing in running a public body.
