Obama Democrats & Chicago:

I have received some e-mails asking why on a local St. Charles County political watchdog site would we be speaking about the presidential race. The presidential race affects all of us as citizens of St. Charles county. It is important we realize that policies of the past and a candidate choices will be enacted at our highest executive branch. Those policies will affect each and every one of us in St. Charles County.

When looking at the Democrat parties leadership in Illinois it is clear that they have destroyed everything they have touched. Sens. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, Mayor Richard Daley are all leadership in Illinois and all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago and of course they're all blaming each other. They can't blame Republicans, there aren't any!

• The State pension fund $44 Billion in debt and the worst in country.
• Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look'em up if you want).
• Chicago school system one of the worst in country.
• In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago compared to 221(Iraqis) killed in Iraq.

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois and he's gonna 'fix' Washington politics? Someone needs to tell Obama that this is not the change we are looking for.
