The needs of the blog--more about that in about an hour--took to me to Northbrook, Illinois this afternoon. On the way home I drove south on Skokie Boulevard, where I found another Barack Obama You can find it just south of Hibbard Road.
It's fitting that the Obama reelection campaign has placed a sign in Wilmette. It's where Tony Rezko, his first political sponsor, lived until moving into Chicago's Metropolitan Correctional Center.
The sign is a couple of miles west of the Rezko mansion, the site of a key 2003 Senate campaign fundraiser for then-state senator Obama. He was viewed as a longshot candidate at that time.

I was solicited by the office staffers of Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz to participate in a townhall style conference call. She stated during the call that the WPA signs are indeed Obama campain signs.
ReplyDeleteI did have the opportunity to ask the congresswoman a question - could she name any 'shovel ready' projects in Philadelphia county. She didn't have the list with her, but mentioned SEPTA (Southeast Pennsylvania Transit Authority) stations would be spruced up with stimulus dollars.
When I commented that the money was already budgeted by SEPTA to do just that, I was muted by a staffer.
Sigh, life in the age of Obama...
