Vacation Idea

Looking for a place to take the family on vacation or maybe to relocate? Try Illinois! I received the following information in an email today. Looks the data is right on.

• Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin
• Representative: Jesse Jackson, Jr.
• Illinois Governor: Rod Blogojevich
• Illinois House leader: Mike Madigan
• Illinois Attorney General: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike )
• Chicago Mayor: Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)
• The leadership in Illinois? All Democrats.
• Body count in the last six months: 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago (Just for comparison - 221 killed in Iraq during the same period)
• State pension fund: $44 Billion in debt, worst in the country.
• Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax: 10.25% highest in country.
• Chicago school system: Rated one of the worst in the country.

Of course, they're all blaming each other. They can't blame Republicans-because there aren't any. This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he's going to "fix" Washington politics for us?
