Default Chicago, Murder Capital of the United States

Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?

Body count: So far this year, 503 killed (murdered) in Chicago; 281 killed in Iraq.

Sens. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin,
Rep. Jesse Jackson,
Gov. Rod Blogojevich,
House leader Mike Madigan,
Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike Madigan),
Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)
.....our 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 the Country.

Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Look 'em up if you want).

Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he's gonna 'fix' Washington politics for us???!

I suppose it would be too much to ask for a link? Also, since IL has 19 House reps it would hard to believe they're all Dem.

Actually forget the link. I'll just add you to my ignore list. I haven't one post from you worth reading.

I know we rank in the 30's compared to the nation in economic growth.
I know that only 1/3 of Chicago Public School kids graduate with skills necessary to go to college.

Obama and his followers should move to Chicago. Obamanites will be disappointed in him as he gets exposed in the near future.

There are many real issues to discuss rather than resorting to obvious troll posts such as this. Anyone with even one functional brain cell sees that there is no comparison between anything happening in Chicago and what is happening in Iraq.

Tell me that this statement isn't a weakassed attempt to imply that people that feel that our casualties in Iraq are not justified and that we should pull our troops out, should think we should "pull out" of Chicago because more people were killed there this year than troops in Iraq. Pure trollish nonsense.

Further more it was YOU that mentioned Iraq so my post is on topic.

You think you got it bad Detroits main income is the auto industry.
And for the record I don't think they keep a body count in Detroit, couldn't keep up..
Michigan don't have to many corupt governors last long they usualy quit.
75% kids that attend public schools in Michigan are still counting on getting a factory job.

You think it don't get cold in Michigan?
Even the Michigan wolverines are bad.
The Lions lost 11 straight games.
So what you Chi town boys cryin about?

My take on Michigan, in my little hick town it's not so bad.
