Chicagoans
on Barack Obama
Hello,
We
Chicagoans want to let everyone know about our Senator Barack Obama and the
City and state in which he represents and that he represented as a state
legislator. Please pass this on to everyone you know.
Here
are some facts about Chicago, the State of Illinois & Senator Barack Obama:
-
Chicago has one of the highest murder rates in the world for a major city -
approx 500 per year.
- Chicago has one of the highest crime rates in the world for a major city.
- Chicago has the highest sales tax in the country at 10.25%
- Middle class property tax rates are unbearable - imagine paying over $6k on
average per year in property taxes for a low priced home.
Outrageous
Chicago Property Taxes
- Chicagoans are heavily burdened by the excessive taxes of all sorts, fees and
other governmental infringements on our pocket books.
- Chicago gas costs approximately 25 cents more per gallon than other areas due
to excessive taxes, plus the major Chicago highways still have tolls, thus
increasing taxes more.
- Chicago schools continually require more money, provide fewer services and
lose 50% of our children before graduation. Yes, 50% of the children in Chicago
Schools drop out and do not graduate from high school.
-
William Ayers, the unrepentant domestic terrorist that bombed over a dozen US
buildings, and Barack Obama ran the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). Their
goal with CAC is to radicalize children via our public schools and teach them
to hate their country. Now Chicago has a bunch of radical kids and 50% don’t
graduate high school. And, these radicalized kids terrorize our streets committing
murder and mayhem.
- Chicago and the surrounding suburbs' roads are in continuous disrepair due to
the corruption and waste in the contracting for road repair services. The Chicago
City solution – help people file a claim against the city for damage to their
vehicles.
- The corruption in Chicago politics is known worldwide - on 27 August 08
Ex-President Clinton told friends at the Democratic Convention that Barack
Obama had the ethics of a Chicago thug. We Chicagoans know this is true.
- The people's tax money is routinely used to pay off family and friends of
Chicago politicians through dubious contracts and other unethical means.
- Earmarks also known as pork barrel projects are the norm, thus wasting our
money and driving taxes for everything through the roof. Political “pay-offs”
by Chicago politicians are normal business in Chicago.
- Our capital, Springfield, IL, is the home of corruption and incompetence and
the former employer of Senator Obama where political gridlock, deficit spending
and finger pointing is the norm. He was part of the gridlock.
- Obama has no reputation as a change agent and is a typical shady Illinois
politician that votes the radical left platform over 97% of the time. He
otherwise voted “present” over 140 times on major issues because he did not
know how to take a stance.
- Obama has never stepped across the aisle to get things done - ever. So, he is
a cause of political gridlock, not for cooperative governance.
-
Obama is the farthest left politician in Washington and plans to govern, if
elected president, from the extreme left because Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
are also extreme left politicians and are in charge of Congress.
- Obama has accumulated approximately 3/4 of a $Billion in pork barrel
legislation in his very short US Senate career, thus using the people's money
to pay off contributors. He did the same thing while a state senator in
Illinois.
- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is a corrupt and wasteful public corporation that
is massively subsidized by US tax payers and now threatens world economies
because of their incompetence and the chain reaction of their mismanagement to
the global markets.
The
Financial Crisis That Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Caused
- Barack Obama was the third largest recipient of funds from Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac in his short 3+ year US Senate career, thus he is heavily
influenced by BIG.
-
Since 2001 President Bush tried to reign in Fannie and Freddie from the control
of congress and the corruption therein, but the Democrats in Congress,
including Mr. Obama, killed it in committee. See here:
History
of Attempts to Fix Fannie and Freddie

Look At Attempts to Fix Fannie and Freddie
-
John McCain tried the same thing in 2006 when he cosponsored a bill to reign in
Freddie and Fannie, but the Democrats in Congress killed it in committee – the
money they received from Freddie and Fannie was too good:

One of the other BIG money interests that controls Barack Obama is the Abortion
Industrial Complex. Here him in his own words explain what his first action as
President would be pushing aside all of the major concerns facing our country:
How Big
Money Influences Barack Obama
-
The radical environmental lobby also controls Mr. Obama, thus he will not drill
for oil here in the US. We will continue to send $750 Billion annually of
America’s wealth to other countries. Bringing that money home would eliminate
unemployment for those who want to work. He is also against increasing our
nuclear energy production past our current 104 nuclear power plants in the US
even though energy experts acknowledge that nuclear is the true green source of
energy that can power our future.
-
The radical environmentalists are against wind, solar and tide energy because
of “damage to the beauty of the landscape and to wildlife and sea life.” The
radical environmentalist lobby is very powerful and has total control over the
Democrat Party to include Barack Obama. This powerful lobby is the reason we do
not drill or use the alternative sources of energy right now.
-
Mr. Obama does not plan to reduce government waste at all, as a matter of fact
he will increase the size of government and spending just like he and his
Democratic comrades did here in Chicago and the state of Illinois. His $1
Trillion expansion of government is not the right course. Illinois and Chicago is
the micro example of inefficient, corrupt and incompetent bureaucracy and
governance. Extrapolate this now to the federal government that Barack Obama
envisions.
-
Remember that 41% of every Dollar received by the government is wasted, seemingly
even more here in Chicago. We cannot afford more government.

of the 2008 political season.
