Chicago's over-the-top salute to Obama

Yes, it is a big deal that Barack Obama is the first person from Chicago elected president. Only three other presidents have lived in Illinois, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Ronald Reagan. The Gipper is the only one of these great Americans to have lived in Chicago--as a toddler--and ironically, like Obama, he lived in Hyde Park.

It's a big deal. But once the Election Day came and went, there was some good news--even though my guy lost. At least the Stalin-esque personality-cult artwork would be packed away.

I was wrong. That's downtown Chicago--probably LaSalle Street. Those banners were put up at city expense (What deficit?) by city workers (What layoffs?).

The Cult of Change lives on.

    Stalin-esque is right. Comprehensively effin said. I want to believe that Obama won't be as bad as some people think, but I'm quite sure, that at best, he won't be as good as most people hope he will be.

    I wish this site had come out earlier, I had some Obamabot friends finding out that they had big differences with Obama's positions:

    Years ago I was knocked off the voting rolls here in this very Blue City when I was a Republican, on election day I found out I was knocked off as an Un-Affiliated. Next time I should register as a Democrat, maybe I won't get knocked off then.

    The biggest dangers come from the Left anyway, so my votes in this Blue State's closed primaries would be more important there.

    Telling Moonbats I'm a Democrat would stop some in their tracks too, maybe making it easier to chip away at the false veneer of so-called 'progressivism'.

    Let's hope he does well, at least not too badly, with the least amount of despair possible. May God Bless and help guide President Obama. And may God Bless and help save America! Keep the faith!

    obama's victory will help chicago garner even more tourist dollars, as well as the olympics. i find the claims of "stalinism" hilarious since they're made by people who had no problem sporting those creepy, sycophantic "w" stickers, labeling as "unamerican" anyone who dared disagree with the republican party, and who supported illegal eavesdropping on the american people, including troops overseas.

    When was the last time you saw a "W" sticker?

    Y'know what, maybe Obama's cult not Stalin-esque.

    I think it's more Mao like. Obama has two books, Stalin none. But Mao had his Little Red Book.

    The posters were paid for out of the Mayor's own campaign fund & didn't use city dollars.

    Do you not pay attention to any news?
