Chicago Politics

None of what was said back in 2008, or even what is being said today about Obama’s associations and involvement in what we refer to as ‘Chicago politics’ is a story. The only story here is the one about the dog who didn’t bark: the mainstream media. They have consistently refused to delve into Obama’s past. And this is precisely why we are where we are today.

What has become all too obvious by now is that this is not merely a matter of following the money. It’s much bigger than that. This is about ideology. This is about Islam.

Update on the Abelino Mazeriego murder earlier this month in Summit, NJ:

My son and I took our customary walk uptown tonight and found Springfield Avenue closed to vehicular traffic. As we proceeded into town on foot we found hundreds of people there. There was a march and vigil starting at City Hall, going past the murder scene (which has in the meantime become an oft-frequented memorial with candles, condolences, flowers and balloons) and ending on the Village Green across from Summit Station. The people who came were somber, well dressed and civilized. All races, young and old, were well represented.

POTUS visited New Jersey today where he met with small-business owners at Tastee Sub Shop in Edison. He also taped a segment for The View which is to air tomorrow. He did not meet with the Boy Scouts during their week-long 100th anniversary celebration.

It might have been nice if he could have found time to take the short hop over to Summit to address the people here.
