Obama Endorses Daley For Another Term
Jan 22, 2007 6:45 pm US/Central

While Barack Obama said he's inclined to keep U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald in that job, Obama added Fitzgerald's federal investigations of corruption at City Hall have not shaken his confidence in Daley.

Whole article at: http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/barack.obama.richard.2.334772.htm

Is corruption ok with Obama?

Read whole article and decide for your self. Denial of corruption in Chicago is laughable.
Does this show exactly where Obama stands on corruption in IL?

I cannot believe Hillary would support this kind of corruption in NY This is in your face, giving the thumbs up to Chicago corruption in politics. Also, makes me wonder if the corruption in Chicago has ties to the mob?

1. Hello - What about NYC and Guilliani, Pataki?
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 10:14 AM by TornadoTN
We all know they were up to their eyeballs in scandal and other nefarious doings (See Kerick, Bernard). Why didn't Hillary come down forcefully on this? Why didn't she try to back someone who could run against the GOP in the mayoral race?

Is Hillary OK with corruption?

3. It is time for Daley to go.
As someone who lives in Chicago, I firmly believe that we should get rid of Daley, Blago, and pretty much the Chicago establishment.

The CTA crisis issue was huge and no one did anything until it was almost too late. I expect another doomsday by the end of the year. Where is the money going?

9. Just how corrupt is Chicago politics? I hear it's pretty bad.
Are some of these cities having a contest on who can be the most corrupt?:shrug:
