Obama's Chicago Report Card and Defining Change

These were emailed to me recently and I thought I would share them. I think they give a great perspective to this election.

OBAMA'S CHICAGO - report card
Body count. In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago, 221 killed in Iraq.

Sens. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, Mayor Richard Daley.....our leadership in Illinois.....all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. Of course they're all blaming each other. They can't blame Republicans, there aren't any!

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country. Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.5% highest in country. (Look 'em up if you want). Chicago school system one of the worst in country. This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.

Ah, defining change
CHANGE
In the late 1950's most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along promising Change, every Cuban was at least receptive. When the young leader spoke eloquentlyand passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him... They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in.He said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, and everyone followed. He said he wouldbring justice and equality to all, and everyone said 'Praise the Lord!'The young leader said, 'I will be for change and I'll bring youchange,' everyone yelled, 'Viva Fidel!' But by the time the executioner's guns went silent, the people's guns had been taken away. By the timeeveryone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received their free education it was worth nothing . By thetime the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was finally implemented Cuba had beenknocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status. By the time the change was over, more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, andinner tubes fleeing to Florida. Luckily, we in America would never fall for a young leader who promises change without asking, WHAT change? Or have we fallen for smoothtaking jive?

Biden Blunders

Among the many wrong utterances of Senator Joe Biden are his recollections of history involving Americans watching FDR speak of the 1929 stock market crash on television and during the debate tonight attributing Article 1 to the executive branch.

Words I'm Sick of Hearing After This Week

These are some words, phrases, and individuals that I am sick of hearing of or about.
Bailout
Mainstreet
Compromise
Wallstreet
Crisis
Bi-Partisanship
The phrases consequences of doing nothing and plenty of blame to go around have irritated me as well.
And finally I do not want to see or hear from the likes of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd anymore. These are two men who did nothing and in the case of Barney Frank seemed to be oblivious to the situation entirely.
