A Look at Obama's Chicago Past

"Political experts say Obama has not been able to bring about fundamental reform in Illinois. In fact, he's allied with some of the state's most notorious politicos."

Obama-Led Foundation Spent $49 Million But Had 'Little Impact' on Improving Chicago Schools

This is what I have been trying to tell people. I lived in Chicago before Obama got there. There was no "change" in education there.

"Despite six years and $49.2 million spent to improve schools in the Chicago area, an education reform initiative run by Barack Obama was less than effective, according to two studies, with one in particular describing the grant program as a 'failure' that had 'little impact on school improvement and student outcomes.'"

A presidential debate, the Chicago Way

"How, for example, could change agent Obama endorse the boss of the Chicago machine, Mayor Richard Daley, after Daley's friends and drinking buddies, white guys with mob connections, received $100 million in city affirmative action contracts, a crime that sent one of them to federal prison?

"The mayor said there is no such thing as a machine. Does Obama truly believe there is no machine that runs Chicago and Cook County? Then he should declare it. And, if so, then how does he explain the Daley hacks sitting in federal prison for rigging thousands of city jobs?"
