1. Must I click on the link?

Couldn't you please utilize discussion skills?

2. He could buy hundreds of those vehicles out of his own pocket

from the cash he made in just a few months time on Wall Street, after the Clinton administration repealed Glass Steagall. His making all of that cash, and the repeal of Glass-Steagall, were unrelated, by the way.

3. Rahmbo is on the outs

Chicago can now see clearly what a scumbag he is.

He'll get his arse recalled shortly (I hope).

I'll be asking my relatives in Chicago next month what they think of this scumbag.

5. With a 79 percent approval rating, I don't think so.

Why don't you concentrate your efforts on getting Bloomberg recalled?

[New Yawker]

6. Bloomberg is on his last two years...

Other than OWS issues, he has done OK.

8. And may I ask why you support Rahm?

Seriously?

If he's screwing the public schools, then it's a serious problem. Public schools should always be available to all. Private schools does not make any sense unless you want to indoctrine your kid with something very specific. That's what private schools are - just a way to keep your kid out of a class of citizens they do not want to get involved.

I am a product of a public school that has done well 20 years ago. Even with a minor gang problem that they had - we still did fine.

9. Because he was the best candidate in the race.

And I went to private schools.

12. Private schools, where they teach you What to think, not How to think. nt

[mopinko]

14. he's not "screwing the public schools"

he's cleaning up the public schools. hopefully fulfilling the promise of public schools, which has not been met in chicago for a generation. the schools that are being closed are snake pits of the worst sort. anyone who argues against these turnarounds is just someone who cannot stand change. there are always people who will fight for the status quo no matter how vile. a wise leader tunes that out.
as far as the union, karen lewis is the most arrogant, ignorant union leader i have ever seen. if the teachers union gets screwed, put the blame on her, not on the mayor.

11. Our present FLOTUS never

like Rahmbo, she did not think he was working in the President's best interests, she was absolutely right. President Obama seems to be doing much better without him.

13. we don't have recall here.

and we like him fine. you have to be an asshole to run this town. he is doing a fine job.

4. Emanual buys $3.5m on union made police cars for the city of Chicago.

Reagan spins in his grave as Republicans calculate the damage those union wages wreak on the economy.

[hobbit709]

7. While at the same time trying to break the teacher's union.

[mopinko]

15. not

just get them the hell in line with the needs of the KIDS in the system.

[hobbit709]

16. Right. Testing REALLY serves the needs of the kids.

[mopinko]

17. he is not pushing any testing, so

your comment makes no sense.

[madrchsod]

10. i want one....

assembled by union workers in the south side of chicago. but i still don`t like him.
