Mr. Peete, when you were a Chicago police officer, it was a well-known fact that you could barely find your way to the men's room. So, if I waited on you to book me, I'd be at large for the next 30 years, :)

I like that idea Mike. It could take it away from Republican-dominated states and, if the Obama Administration announced plans to do it now, could take all much of the steam out of the voter-suppression movement.

Ok Herringpost Now that you've told all the educated blacks in Chicago what they're doing wrong, in all your wisdom, please share with me what they should be doing to make it right. Or are you just filled with piss and vinegar without a good idea to be found anywhere? btw, are you educated? Just askin'.

@Black Women Reaganomics, which George H. W. Bush described as Voodoo Economics, did not work. The CEOs at the corporations got richer and the people at the bottom got trickled down on. According to the Economic Policy Institute report, in 1965, U.S. CEOs in major companies earned 24 times more than a typical worker; by 2007, they made 275 times more. U.S. CEOs also make far more than CEOs in other advanced countries, the report said. Thank you trickle down economics.

@atty2chgo I suspect that you're right since not one of the reporters at the table was from the President's hometown or had a history with him.

@Don When you write about "serious freedoms being put at risk" and not bother to tell us what they are, you sure sound like a wingnut to me. Redeem yourself. Explain what these freedoms are and how they're being put at risk.
