Re: [Dems2008] Re: Chicago

"Chicago politicians are notoriously crooked, I use to live in Chicago.  And it is SO polarized.  It is definitely no melting pot. "

This is where the whole subject started and you know it.

The original poster wasn't criticizing Chicago, but Chicago politics, which Obama was embroiled in deeply.

Cat, Earth to Cat, here is what the "original poster" actually cited

people living in them were displaced-real caring govt. corruption is
not the exception. Crime, yea, like every other big city. Lots of
rats .... lots of concrete, except for the lake front green is the
exception. I lived there and worked there for about 9 months .... good
job but I escaped that concrete jungles as soon as I could. - like DC
and Atlantic City, it puts on a good face to the tourists, but don't
look behind the scenes. The middle class lives outside of Chicago. In
the burbs. Chicago thinks its the center of the universe. I'm
certainly glad it is not.
