Default Can you believe it

Chicago elected Rahm Emanuel (sp?) as mayor! I guess most residents just don't care, I heard that only 40% of voters turned out! Also heard Chicago's population is the lowest it's been since the 1920s, Hmmmn high crime, crooked politicians think that might have something to do with it?

To be sure, there was most likely some major election fraud going on there! Also heard from a friend who's a Chicago native that they just voted for a major state tax hike in Illinois... almost 70%. And on the heels of that, Indiana state residents are soon to vote wether or not to make their state a right-to-work state. I predict there's soon going to be an increase in migration from Illinois to Indiana.

From my bud who lives in Chi-Town, he won going away and he's a heck of a lot better than the other candidates. Granted he doesn't like Rahm, even he voted for him because the others were pretty far out there. They said he won what, all but 2 precincts?

And, all of Obama's buddies are in Washington, working for the administration...

Couldn't resist that one.
