I was searching the intertoobz for pictures of Rezko’s slum buildings — you know, the ones that he received ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS from Illinois’ and American taxpayers (the rolling rivers of cash guided into his back account with a little help from his friend Barack Obama) to rebuild — and NEVER DID??
Yeah, those ones. It’s funny — if I want to find pictures of slums in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, or Miami all I have to do is type: “urban decay” into The Google and, voila! All SORTS of discouraging images pop up. But go ahead and try to find images of “rezko buildings,” or “chicago south side,” all of the images have been SCRUBBED. Gone. Go back in the archives of No Quarter and look what happened to the images that used to be there. GONE.
Kind of reminds me of this story from this morning. Couldn’t happen here, right?
That little story out of Saint Louis two weeks ago was no canary in the coal mine, right? Truth Squads prosecuting political speech is nothing to worry about!
Anyone?
From comments this morning:
Has anyone ever been to the South Side of Chicago ??? I have - many times . The residents there have been surviving in sub-standard conditions for years . There are no jobs , crime is rampant , and the housing conditions are so poor it is a complimentary exaggeration to call them slums. The word ‘projects’ indicates a work in progress , but on the Chicago’s south side it takes on a different meaning - a stagnant , decaying slum . 11 of these deplorable buildings on the south side are owned by Obama’s friend Tony Rezco.
Obama funneled State money to Rezco to ” improve conditions in those buildings ‘ - never happened.
Obama also funneled $100,000 for a ‘ let them eat cake’ gazebo on the south side . The gazebo was never built even though I am sure that those families who are living in falling down buildings in crime infested neighborhoods were really hoping for a freaking gazeebo .Sen. Obama handed his wife’s employer a 1 million dollar earmark . He requested 3 million to update a projector at the Sky Theater . Trinity Church and Rev. Pfleger benifited from the 100 million dollars Obama doled out for the Annenberg Challenge which was SUPPOSED to have been used to help the failing public school system . Some of the programs Obama turned down for grants were : The Chicago Algebra project , and The District 5 Math Initiative - both are worthy projects that the public school system desperatly needed to finance . Meanwhile , Obama’s buddies , and radical groups received millions .
When you go to vote this year , I would encourage you to check out the South Side of Chicago , Obama’s own Senate district . See what “Change” Obama has brought to his own district . Take a look at how his ‘leadership’ has ‘improved’ his own community , and then ask yourself , ” If Senator Obama doesn’t care about his own community, what will he do for me ?”
Good morning , Pumas Just had to get that off my chest .

I love the line “he launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist.”
When you say it that way, it does sound truly horrible and like something that should disqualify a person from being POTUS.
Of course, once again, “this is not the Bill ayers I knew.” And people will buy that?
I was in college in the 60’s and aerly 70’s and I marched for Civil Rights and against the War, but I never thought that being violent myself was the right thing to too.

Obama funneled state money to family
The Associated Press has probed Barack Obama’s earmarking activities in the Illinois state senate and discovered two grants that put state money in the hands of Michelle Obama’s cousin. Capers Funnye received $75,000 from Obama for his organization, Blue Gargoyle, for adult literacy and youth group activities. Read HERE.
