Obama’s Chicago war zone
Chicago War Zone Information
Body count:
In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago vs. 221 killed in Iraq.
Senaators. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader
Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, Mayor Richard Daley…The leadership in Illinois…all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago!
Of course they’re all blaming each other. Can’t blame Republicans, there aren’t any!
State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% 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. He’s gonna ‘fix’ Washington politics?
I think he needs to stay right in Chicago and fix that first.. Then he can worry about the US and the world.

an absurd statistic , there are close to 3 million people in Chicago and only 200,000 troops in Iraq. The odds of troops being killed in Iraq far exceeds those of a citizen of Chicago being murdered……and if your a civilian in Iraq, well there are no official estimates of casualties but some place it in the millions. this is a irresponsible misleading post very similar to a fox news story that ran in 2004 suggesting that you had a better chance of being murdered in L.A.than in Iraq. As a self proclaimed geek you should know that math doesnt lie.

BA,
The part about there is only 200,000 troops in Iraq is correct (I think) but… Chicago is in the USA. Not a war-zone. There should be much less chance to be shot anywhere in the USA then there is in Iraq. For the record, I don’t have cable and therefore don’t watch “Fox News”.
Thank you very much for the comment.
