The president of Chicago schools was found floating in the Chicago river this morning. This fellow started as a community organizer (wonder if he organized with the other now famous American) on the west side.

Will be interesting to see how this story develops, and if it gets more air time.

By chance was he also involved in the bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago with the World orators Wife.

Good call CV! My guess is the news organizations are going to squash information that ties the floater to the White House.

I'd imagine the World Orator will have something to say about it, no doubt his press conference speech on this issue will last much longer than the one where he addressed the Ft. Hood shooting. But he will be sure to give a shout out to his homey Michael Scott and then create a special community interest group funded by tax payers money to curb violence in Chicago.

Kind of like they did with a certain happening at Fort Marcy Park. Two independent councils and who knows what really happened?

I did recall that name with the Olympic bid and the orators our Lady Bama. Solid your being in Chicago the Daley machine at work here? Or the westside organizers?

Thanks dbr I knew that name come up tied to World orator Barack Hussein Obama and his ties to Chicago community activist. I was not aware of the land deal stuff though so thanks for the article. Can you imagine how much money was going to go into a few pockets if they got the olympics. You can't say the orator did not try because you can bet many of the pockets were those of community leaders and Daley people that back him.

Wouldn't this be natural causes for a Chicago politician? (Sorry. I couldn't resist the snide remark.)

The Daley Machine is a functioning operation, I try not to engage those people in any way, I'm not a very good swimmer. The SEIU (founded in Chicago) ACORN and other veiled socialist (and apparently criminal) organizations have control of some areas of Chicago city proper. Avoid them if you can which if you are a college or university student here is easier said than done, don't vocalize political opinions in their presence, they are vicious and don't mind showing that side even in the classroom or lecture hall setting. I know that some romantically view the late Al Capones' influence in Chicago as a prevention in some way against the politico's destuction of Chicago for its citizens, but, sadly, Kefauver and the democrats (ie communist hit men for their own fun and 'profit') really hurt the old guard and so don't count on help from anywhere, period. So, just watch in amazement as the hippoptamus gets swept under the rug agaln and again and again.......
(the rugs in Chicago and now DC are more like mountain ranges.)

No mention of it on the national news yet while MAObama is over in China telling them they need to cut back on the censorship.

People don't understand the power of the Daley machine over all the years. They handed Illinois to Kennedy which he needed to win in 1960 now modern times B. Hussein Obama owes them big with out a doubt.

Well I figure he will pay up and give them whatever they want before we are lucky enough to find him joining the ranks of the river floaters, no matter how terribly the outcome effects the USA.

Interesting, I wonder what he did to disappoint his friends?

When we lived in Willmette, my dad put me in the car one day, and told me, "I'm gonna show you how the other half lives". We drove into south
Chicago. It was bad THEN, 1960-something. Sullen faces, trash, over-all
bad scene. Wouldn't want to try that now. Could get worse than a few bad
looks.

He must've really needed that Olympic money.

You are kidding.
