how can BO save the world when he can't even save the South Side of Chicago?

[Willie99]

The brutal deaths of three members of singer-actress Jennifer Hudson's family shocked the nation last week. But as residents of Chicago's South Side, where the killings took place, know well, violent crime is an all-too common occurrence.

now he wants to do for the USA (and the World) what he did in Chicago.

he certainly does have a great track record of real world accomplishments, almost as good as his record for "choosing friends wisely"

talk about a suspension of disbelief, talk about concealing the truth

:lol:

jump on in boys, the Kool-Aid has lots of sugar

Great point Willie.

Err by the way Ronald Regan was Governor of California at the time of the Sharon Tate murders.

Great point Willie.

comparing Sharon Tate to one of the highest crime rate sections of the country now?

and remember, BO was not Governor of the biggest state in the country, he and his ilk were going to bring change to the "South Side of Chicago", where he was a successful community organizer. LOL

I'm just wondering what change did he bring, that's all.

Don't governors govern and senators legislate? I know this because the Republicans tell me Obama has no governing experience. And yet, now he is at fault for the governance of not just the state he represents, but a portion of a city that is part of the state that he legislates. Is he supposed to legislate away crime? Funny stuff. As of 2006, Alaska had more violent crime per person than Illinois.

Willie's point is excellent, and extremely valid.

Obama the Messiah of change, hasn't "changed" anything.

All the time he spent as a "community organizer" has shown
virtually no results, and in some cases, negative results.

Yes, Obama is the Messiah of change, but it will be change for the
worse, by far.

 

[barman]

Great point Willie.

Err by the way Ronald Regan was Governor of California at the time of the Sharon Tate murders.

yeppity yep...And John McCain was (is) US Senator of Arizona even as the state's population and economy is being overrun by illegal immigrants.

GW Bush was Governor of Texas (and team owner) when the Texas Rangers won three playoff spots (1996, 1997, 1999) and were wiped out each time in the first round of playoffs.

Specious Correlations Are Fun!

 

[Willie99]

Well boys, let me state it differently. When I boast about being a leader of something, I reference specific accomplishments achieved under my guidance. Obama avoids this stuff like a Black Plague.

I'm pretty sure taking kick backs from a felon doesn't qualify. What was his buddy convicted of anyways? Using federal monies for personal gain instead of improving the South Side of Chicago? I know Obama realized a nice piece of prime real estate from the deal, LOL

Carry on with your silly little misplaced analogies. Sadly, it's all you got and it speaks to your boy's weaknesses.

:lol:
