Tega, what exactly is it that you expect that Barack Obama could have done to greatly improve conditions in South Side Chicago, as a young community activist straight out of law school (or even as a single state representative)
|
He was the state senator for that area, and you can do a search on youtube about Obama and his lack of oversight of the "public" housing in his constituency. These public housing were mainly owned by Rezko. You can also do a search on Chicago Tribune about how he became a community organizer and some of the motives behind it.
I live close to harlem, and harlem has a reputation of being a bad place to live some time ago. The state senator for harlem, the borough president, the mayor of NY and NYPD made a concerted effort to reduce crime significantly in Harlem, and I have to say, they have done a very good job. Harlem still needs some work, but it is a much better place to live than before. I don't agree with you that no one can solve the problems of south side chicago, if the people in charge want to solve the problems they can find a way to solve the problems.

... but I'll not be hobbling him with double-standards, and irrational hatred.

I don't understand how you can conclude from the writings that I hate Obama. Why should I hate him? Can you please point to the instances of my double-standards? There is nothing in his past that indicates that he can change anything, I might be wrong, but I guess we have to wait and see. At this moment he is just not my candidate.
