Barack Obama( Democrat-Daley)

Steve Rhodes of the Beachwood Reporter reminds us all of Barack Obama: tool of the Daley Machine:

Bill Daley is Barack Obama's new right-hand man. Rahm Emanuel was his old one. Tony Rezko was his self-described political godfather. Emil Jones was his self-described political mentor. He endorsed Joe Lieberman over Ned Lamont. Stood by Richard M. Daley and absolved him of responsibility for 20 years of corruption oozing out of City Hall. Campaigned for Rod Blagojevich when it had become clear he was an ineffectual, corrupt nothing. Helped clear a path for Todd Stroger. And on and on and on. Kept his private corporate fundraiser secret while telling America his coffers were getting fat on the little guy. Then again, his campaign strategist is known as the greatest astroturfer of them all.

And frankly, he's been an even worse president than I thought he'd be. I at least expected him to keep his grassroots energized; now I'm not sure there really are any grassroots. I at least expected him to pretend to put up a fight for the values he pretended he stood for in the campaign. I thought he'd at least be a good pretender. But not even that.

Bill Daley is Barack Obama's chief of staff!

Crook County at its' best!
