At least, he must believe all the most talented people in America hail from there.<br /><br /> Or so he would like it to appear. In reality, he seems intimidated by outsiders. At least with the Bush brand of loyalty you can understand it's a tribal thing: i.e. my daddy/brother/whatever trusted you pal, so I'm gonna trust you. Or something to that effect.<br /><br /> With Obama, it's more like: I'm not comfortable dealing with people I haven't been in Mutual Appreciation Mode with for the past twenty years.<br /><br /> At least Rahm wears his SOBiness on his sleeve, which is a bit more respectable than all the high-class pretensions to civility and rational debate.Luciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03938166025093103574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-17539533875560180132011-02-22T23:46:15.556-06:002011-02-22T23:46:15.556-06:00I'd've voted for him.

Let me put it this way, in the 14 years I have live in this city, unless you are member of the Democratic party and a certified member of the Chicago political Machine, there is no way in hell that any Conservative Republican, Tea Party, Independent or Blue Dog Democrat will have any chance to be elected much less find his or her name on any ballot especially if that candidate is more than willing to take on the Chicago political Machine.<br /><br />PS. Emmanuel Rahm is elected to keep Chicago safe for the next Daley to assume his or her father's position 10 years from now.DinobotPrimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09193768444061906668noreply@blogger.com
