Anyway, I wouldn’t want to go back and live in Chicago no matter how big a mansion I owned, especially if, like Obama, I lived in Hyde Park.
And it’s not likely I’d ever go back unless I went there to clean it up.
None of that for Obama however.
“It could just be a diabolical, cruel rumor meant to hurt Chicago residents who are proud of the first couple's $1.8 million Hyde Park Georgian Revival mansion and history in the community,” reported the liberal blog PolicyMic during the reelection campaign when Obama wasn't sure he'd be back in the White House. “Several publications have hinted or stated outright that top Obama fundraiser Penny Pritzker has been orchestrating the purchase of an opulent $35 million Honolulu estate for the first couple.”
That's the same Penny Pritzker who Obama nominated for Secretary of Commerce. It's nice when you have "friends" in Chicago who happen to have $35 million to buy you a house.
I don’t know who should be more relieved by his departure for Honolulu, Obama or Chicago?
Egalitarians? That's for little people.
This is a city that kept Jesse Jackson Jr. elected and well-fed after he spent months in the Mayo Clinic for bi-polar depression, necessitated and occasioned by embezzlement charges. The voters would have kept sending him back to Washington too had the FBI not taken the matters out their hands by indicting Jackson.
This is also the city that sent back to the state legislature the first state house representative it has kicked out in 107 years. Do you know how hard it is to get kicked out the Illinois House?

Dear Comrade Don,
George W. Bush took vacations either at his own home in Texas or at his parents’ place in Kennebunkport. That’s not the same thing as flying off to South Africa on safari or touring Brazil or hanging at Martha’s Vineyard.
It’d be nice to see the Obamas go back to Illinois, back to Hyde Park for a vacation, and hey, it would lower their carbon footprint too.
But when exactly have liberals been a "do-as-I-do" kind of people?
The most consistent feature of liberal legislation is that it exempts them and their lobbyists, unions and corporate pals from the effects of the social engineering they foist on the rest of us.
Bush at least had the sense to hang up his golf bags and not play golf after 9/11.
Obama, on the other hand, avoids Chicago.
Perhaps that’s because he helped make Chicago the toilet that it’s become.
Whatever else you can say about Chicago, it’s a city that has been forged and refined by Democrats, like Obama.
When I was growing up there, the city at least functioned. Powerful or Pitiful?
Today it’s just a shooting gallery.
And why not?
Cook County produces wonderful legislators like Jan Schakowsky (D-Socialist) whose husband was convicted of bank fraud, and failure to withhold taxes; and – I think there is more shame in this- was honored in 2000 by the Democratic Socialists of America with the Debs Award with the note: “Your work and your life honors the memory of Eugene V. Debs, Norman Thomas and Michael Harrington and continues their legacy of struggle for social justice. For your dedication to the fight for a just society, the Debs - Thomas - Harrington Dinner Committee hereby presents to you its annual award on this 5th day of May, 2000.”
I guess bank fraud and socialism do go together. If you understand how one works, you probably have a great understanding of the other too. Columnist and National Security Expert, Frank Gaffney, joined the program to discuss the collapse of Obama’s Foreign Policy.
As I live in Chicagoland (conservative DuPage County, thank goodness), my fervent hope is that Obama retire to Hawaii, and spends the rest of his time in Washington D.C., both bastions of liberalism, and leave our state of Illinois alone to recover from all of his, and his thug Chicago henchmen’s bed effects. Go away, Obama, go away.
bed = bad above. Typo (or maybe a Freudian slip)

I heard the search is on for the Obama library site .... may I suggest Obama’s Hyde Park house in Chicago? It’s already “historical” in the eyes of Chicagoans and the Obamas won’t be going back there to live. I think it’s a perfect solution. </rolling eyes>
“It’d be nice to see the Obamas go back to Illinois, back to Hyde Park”.....
I’ve got a better idea, send him, Moooochelle, the kids and the dog to Kenya where he belongs. The rest of the family can fend for themselves. I’m betting that would make the folks in Hyde Park a lot more happy than to have him back in Chicago.
I would suggest putting all the Obama documents, his teleprompter scripts on the cloud.
No library where people can go piss on the steps would be necessary
I've circulated it to my network of 'like minds' email list!!
My fervant hope is that Ophonybama retire to a Federal prison for the rest of his natural life!
