The article is a very good read.
There are numerous citations of corruption at all levels of Ii. government.
I cannot understand how BHO came out of this nest of vipers untainted.
It is mind-boggling. It is literally impossible to hide much of anything these days.
Can Obama's political machine really be that good?

His machine is the Democratic Party. What that sinister organization has gotten away with over the last 150 years is stunning. Just as the tip of the iceberg, securing overwhelming support from black voters is an impressive accomplishment, given the history of the two parties.

Yeah, they're slick and well-organized.

recommended expanded oversight by the city's inspector general, and stricter ethics and campaign finance laws to get rid of gifts to politicians, lobbying by public officials, nepotism and patronage in hiring.

This from an ex-alderman?  Why do I suspect the fishing net will have holes?

None of this stuff is all that hidden IMO.  You just have a media that is willfully blind to a lot of these issues when it comes to Democrats and a lot of Democrats who assume any bad press about "their guy" is just right wing lies.

It's not just Chicago.  It's Baltimore and Las Vegas.  Fill in the names yourself.
