Chicago, the Mayor, Police and Demonstrators

It appears the demonstrators in Chicago are not happy with the Mayor, the State attorney and the police department.  Well, all I can say, is you get what you vote for.  Chicago have been voting democratic since the time of Caesar and since only one party is running Chicago, what do you expect.  The democrats make promises they know they cannot keep and if they do, it bankrupts the city.  As we also see, the city is deeply in debt and so is the state. 

Even the teachers union is suing the city since they are being asked to pay 7.5% of their salary into their pension. Now we know the teachers are some of if not the highest paid teachers in the country.  Since the city was not putting money as required into the pension system there appears to be a problem on paying retirees. We might also add, the Chicago schools are also some of the worst in the country.  Then again, their crime rate may be the highest in any city in the country.  But again, I say, you get what you vote for.  The democrats are great in making terrific promises and but eventually as with all socialist governments, you run out of money. 

If by some freak of nature, the mayor was to resign, the city would still get another democratic politician who will continue the policies of the last 70 years.  Since the city council is also dominated by democrats, you cannot expect anything else.  The state elects a republican governor, but the legislature is still controlled by the democrats.  So, nothing changes, except maybe less dead people are voting.  But, we cannot be sure on that either. 

Will Obama throw Rahm Emanuel, the mayor a bone, a life preserver or throw him under the bus?  Depends on the political situation.  That is, he could encourage him to resign, especially since Loretta Lynch (Eric Holder in a skirt) and the DOJ are going to investigate the police department, and then Obama can take the credit for listening to Chicagoans.  Will this be a thorough, well investigated event, or is the DOJ just going through the motion. 

We must remember, Obama was brought up into this corruption.  That may explain a lot.
