Chicago on the Potomac

It seems that we now are experiencing “Chicago on the Potomac”. Although I have never lived in Chicago, the stories are well established that the “Windy City” has for decades been run by a political machine. Elections are simply small distractions, just bumps in the road, for those who are wielding power and influence. After being elected, the will of the voters is forgotten and the will of the power merchants becomes supreme. The unions and the community organizers chart the course of the administration.
Surprisingly, this type of “dictatorial” leadership has had great success for the Obama administration on a nationwide scale, because most Americans still refuse to believe that any President would blatantly rule against the will of the people. They continue to give our President the benefit of the doubt, refusing to believe that his administration would “intentionally” do what they are doing.

All former Presidents, both Democratic and Republican have chosen not to go too fast or too far, for fear of being voted out of office after one term. But the Chicago paradigm that these politicians have grown up in is different. They have experienced in Chicago that with the power of the unions, the voter manipulation by groups like ACORN, and the complacency of an electorate that is so gullible to smooth talking politicians, that they will still retain power for decades to come. After all, that’s how it works in Chicago.

The Democrats, led by Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel and his Congressional “useful idiots” who are all-to-willing to surrender their constitutional power, are counting on this not only get past 2010, but to seal our country’s destiny by winning again in 2012. I sincerely hope that they are wrong!
