A couple of things: First, for a sitting president to single out any city and say it is "the best"(of everything) over any other city in this country is a really wild, stupid thing to say. I am sure the people in other cities are real happy that he thinks this. Especially cities where the crime rate is considerably lower and where there are just as many opportunities, good colleges, businesses, etc.
Second, I have a friend who lived in Chicago most of her life. She loved her city, still does, but she qualifies this by saying ... Chicago IS a great place, except for the politics and crime. She feels sorry for the bad rap because, she says, of what has happened to Chicago in the past several years and blames the growing problem with crime on the Democrats/liberals. Funny how even native Chicagoans see that,just like the rest of the world, but they keep electing those Dems. It must be something in that lake water!

There was a time it was called "gangland" Chicago and maybe that time has returned.----IIRC, murders during the years of Prohibition (1920-1934?) totaled about 1100--and virtually all were involved in the business of booze--few bystanders got hurt---

Obama: 'Chicago Is an Example of What Makes This Country Great'
- Heavy Mafia and Mob influence.
- Graft.
- Corruption.
- Compromised infrastructure installed and maintained by skimming unions.
- Extreme levels of voter fraud.
- Heavyhanded thuggish unions that often destroy the business they infest.
- Confiscatory, near-socialist tax levels.
- Daily shootings in this 'gun free city'.
- Insider deals and sweetheart treatment.
- High levels of nepotism.
What's not to love......?
......if, of course, you are Obama.

He can do it because he is the anointed, PROTECTED, one by the MSM. Methinks that armor is slipping.
Even democrat lapdogs like CNN haven't been quite as sycophantic recently as they've been in the past. IMHO, even they've realized that people have taken about all they're going to of the lying socialists.
And without an audience, the MSM is nothing.

Here’s a great ad for Romney in the making: Use obama’s words about Chicago being what makes America great and follow up with statistics of violence (including footage of the flash mobs ransacking stores).

Based on national press coverage and no-shows by Jessie & Al, that these killings ARE NOT White-Hispanic on Black.

I seem to remember Obama (gangster in chief) lobbying the Olympic Committee, and getting “shot down” big time. Socialists and gangsters have made Chicago into the next Detroit.
