Obama, the rare Chicago pol

Sat., Oct. 27, 2012

People should have a lot of respect for President Barack Obama because he says he really cares about common people, and that he would never lie or deceive us just to get votes. To prove it, he severed ties to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the Acorn group.

He has also said that if it takes forever, his administration will find out what really happened in Benghazi, Libya, and maybe the “Fast and Furious” thing. He also has proven what a great and honorable person he is for being one of the very few Chicago politicians who has never spent time in jail and has never had an extramarital affair.

Remember, your vote counts.
