The United States of Chicago

Welcome to The United States of Chicago.

Get ready for Chicago style politics on the national level.  Obama, Emanuel, et al come right out of the "cookie-cutter" mechanism of the Mayor Richard Daley political machine in Chicago.  They are slick.  They are smooth.  They are cool.  They speak with a forked tongue in great sounding platitudes, but they act like the thugs they are.  They give no quarter, they take no prisoners. They slip the knife right between their opponents' ribs and twist it all the while smiling and emoting over the great loss.
