His results,,, The South Side of Chicago has the highest Homicide rate per capita in the Nation, The highest gang
related aggrivated batterys in the Nation, one of the highest
drop out rates of students in the country, The lowest amount
of employed People in the entire state of ILL. So someone

He has made and broken promises since he started his career!

"The Chicago winter of 1996-1997 was a bad one, especially for residents of the Englewood apartment building at 7000-10 South Sangamon. The 31-unit building had been rehabilitated with a $653,500 loan from the city of Chicago’s low-income housing fund, another $654,000 in bank financing, and $1.9 million in tax credits. The general partner on the project was Rezmar Corporation, run by Antoin (“Tony”) Rezko and Daniel Mahru. But the tenants shivered for over five weeks without heat because Rezko and Mahru claimed they lacked the cash to turn the heat back on again.
Sun-Times research also found that 11 Rezko buildings were located in Obama’s district during the years when he was an Illinois state senator (1997-2004). Would the residents of these apartment buildings have voted to elect the idealistic young Obama to the state senate had they known of his ties to their negligent landlord?
As a young activist in the mid-1980s, Obama worked with community and church groups to clean up public housing on Chicago’s South Side. Protests and demonstrations could accomplish only so much, so he switched careers from community organizing to elective politics.Obama explained his vision of the agitator-politician to a reporter this way:
“What if a politician were to see his job as that of an organizer, as part teacher and part advocate, one who does not sell voters short but who educates them about the real
choices before them? As an elected public official, for instance, I could bring church and community leaders together easier than I could as a community organizer or lawyer… We must form grass-roots structures that would hold me and other elected officials more accountable for their actions.”
Those words must ring hollow to the Rezko tenants. The South Sangamon building finally had its heat turned on in February 1997 after the city of Chicago sued, eventually collecting a $100 fine from Rezmar. At about the same time—January 14, 1997, according to public records—state senator-elect Obama received a $1,000 campaign donation from Rezmar."

Answer 2

I thought he promised Hope ( who stands on the corner ) and spare Change tossed from his car as he drives by the South Side of Chicago!

Answer 3

All of the positive achievments in lowering unemployment, welfare reform, and school choice have come from Republicans.

Meanwhile Obama's kids are in elite private schools. The same type of schools the Clintons and Kennedys use for their. Its a tragedy that they exploit their own race to get elected and live live of extreme extravagance while millions suffer in inner-city Chicago, DC, Detroit and New O'rleans.

If you love black people, vote Republican.

Remember Donald Young.

Answer 4

The crime stats have no bearing...he was a senator and not a mayor or governor...And where's your link regarding him using the same verbage? And have you actually researched what he passed? No you haven't. You are just another person who decides to take other's words for it or to not educate yourself. Look at the crime stats of every state and you'll see that it doesn't matter...for that matter look at the crime stats of the nation at the moment...

Answer 5

This is nothing new for Crats. Remember when the Crats talk about making everyone equal it is not about bringing the average Joe up to Bill Gates, it is about bringing Bill Gates down to the level of the average Joe.

Leave the Rich alone Tax Politicians to the Nth degree!

Answer 6

As I have said all along Barry is a masterful player of Chicago style politics.

During his first run for office he used campaign rules to challenge constituents signatures, thereby eliminating his competition.

Answer 7

A president Obama will give special reparation to the south side of Chicago and other places that are disadvantaged He believes that the minorities should rule over the majority and the distribution of wealth though socialism. Hal Hitler!

Answer 8

I live there and watched that man when elected as senator, "promise" NOT to run as president until he has served his full term as senator, he further stated that he in his own mind felt he was not experienced enough to do so.
2 weeks later he goes on a 3 month book tour across the states, he comes back and says he is running for president.

From the us congressional website that shows who does what, obama has a total of 147 days as active senator.
147 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Source(s):

he broke his promise to illinois and does to everyone else all the time.

Answer 9

Crime is in every major city of America, in fact crime is in nearly every small town as well. Now you are trying to blame Obama for the crime in Chicago. Stop and ask yourself, does this make sense?

Answer 10

He plans on doing the same thing for the entire country. He is only promising change, he isn't clarifying that it will be for the better.

After Detroit Michigan began a 30 year tradition of electing leaders based on race, just look at the results. Not exactly what I call stellar. B. Hussein Obama shares the same idiotic philosophy as that idiot in Detroit, so you should know what to expect.

Answer 11

Hey, he gave them 'hope' for lighter sentences for gang members. He gave them 'change', change the law so the punishment won't fit the crime. No harsh, stiff penalties for gang related crimes including MURDER.
It would appear he thinks these are just poor misunderstood boys, who should not be held responsible for their criminal acts. WRONG, they are fully aware of what they are doing and could care less who they hurt.
This is the same way he wants to treat ENEMIES of our country.

Answer 12

It makes a person wonder why so many are blindly following him. I pray this man is not elected! America as we know it, cannot afford to have this man as our President!

God Bless America!

God Bless Our Troops!
