Politics - Afraid so

Confessions of an A.D.D. Crafter in Japan.I found this on a blog I was checking. This will be my only foray into the dreaded topic of politics. My son lives in Chicago, so I have a vested interest. It's been an experience for a little Hoosier boy...

• "CHANGE CHICAGO STYLE
•  Body count In the last six months Chicago - 292 killed (murdered) - Iraq - 221
•  Chicago is a combat zone.
• Who is in charge? (The leadership in Illinois )
•  Senator- Barack Obama (Democrat)
•  Senator- Dick Durbin (Democrat)
•  Representative- Jesse Jackson Jr. (Democrat)
•  Governor. -Rod Blogojevich (Democrat)
•  House leader- Mike Madigan (Democrat)
•  Attorney General. -Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike), (Democrat)    
•  Mayor- Richard M. Daley (son of former Mayor Richard J. Daley) (Democrat)
•  State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.
•  Cook County ( Chicago ) Sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look it up if you want).
• Chicago school system one of the worst in the country.

Of course they're all blaming each other. Why? They can't blame Republicans, there aren't any!

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois . And he says he is going to 'fix' Washington politics? "
