Kass: Mayor O’Bama? Yes he can!

Take that executive experience and bring it home to Chicago

John Kass

November 5, 2010

Those Republicans aren’t done giving our president a shellacking, and now the Washington media is urging him to reveal his “feelings,” hoping he’ll squirt a few tears for the cameras.

So there’s only one thing for President Barack Obama to do:

Quit.

Yes, quit. Obama should return from India — after paying that whopping Taj Mahal Palace hotel bill for his entourage out of his own pocket — and resign the presidency immediately.

Then he can come home and do something truly productive.

Like run for mayor of Chicago.

I’m not kidding. After two years as president, Obama finally has some executive experience, which now qualifies him for the mayor’s job.

It just doesn’t look like Washington is going to be much fun for the guy. Especially with all those newly elected Republicans led by the Speaker of the Tan lining up to fight him by invoking “the will of the people.”

Will of the people? Not in Chicago. Obama shouldn’t have to stick around Washington and deal with that kind of aggravation.

And what about all those Washington parliamentary tricks? We have them in Chicago, too, but they’re real simple.

Sounds like a win (for the public), win (for Democrats), win (for Obama) situation. The only losers would be Chicago voters, but decades of history suggests they long ago resigned themselves to swamp politics. I’d say they deserve anything emerging from the swamp...

Chicagoans are happy with their system. Their goal is to make it work for them.
