a glimpse of an obama-topia

i feel like i've been somewhat obama heavy on the blog today.. but there are so many easy topics. topics like this one. obama has been a chicago community organizer, a chicago state representative and an illinois senator. he and his democratic friends have owned the city for the last bit of forever. and this type of leadership has led to this:

Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Wednesday raised the possibility of bringing in
state troopers or even the Illinois National Guard to help Chicago combat a
recent increase in violent crime — an offer that Mayor Richard Daley didn’t know
was coming.
Appearing at signing ceremony for a bill that toughens the
penalty for adults who provide guns to minors, Blagojevich said “violent crime
in the city of Chicago is out of control.”
“I’m offering resources of the
state to the city to work in a constructive way with Mayor Daley to do
everything we can possibly do to help … stop this violence,” said the
governor…
…The governor’s comments come at a time when violent crime has
spiked in Chicago. This spring, for example, nine people were killed in 36
shootings during a weekend and Chicago Public Schools officials say more than
two dozen students have been killed by gunfire since last September.
On
Wednesday, Superintendent Jody Weis was grilled by members of a city council
committee, who complained both about rising crime and statistics that suggested
to them that the police department wasn’t doing enough to stop it.



mind you, chicago has banned handguns for law abiding citizens.. if only they could get a handle on the criminals. this is just another example of what liberal, socialist policies result in. detroit, new orleans, chicago.. pillars that build this catherdral of excellence that will be obama-topia.
