Some are asking why Obama & Hillary Clinton have not spoken out about the scandal and demanding that Rahm resign.

Chicago is a lost city.

It should be declared "war zone".

If he did resign, I guess he could always go back to playing Tinkerbell in the ballet. Well, either that, or he could be the hostess for the new "Barry's Bath House and Bistro" that's scheduled to open on the Magnificent Mile in late January, 2017.




It would be one less "video hider" in Office though.

Another unethical pol whose position as mayor is fully responsible for the actions of the police.


don't hink for a second RM did't know about the video. funny how the video pops up in obamaworld as a defensive mechanism. Benghazi, Planned parenthood, chicago 16 shot murder...all hinge on a video.








.......but never when inconvenient.


That usually occurs around election time.

I mean - if he had anything to do with that cover-up OR delayed the release of the tape so he could win re-election - then he should resign.

He seems corrupt as hell to me.

Ferguson was a lie.

We hear all the time that the other option is just as bad, time to find out.

Maybe the FBI or DOJ have a say in his removal.
It doesn't matter if the other option is just as bad.

You can never get to a good option if you allow the bad options to get away without consequences.


Why would politicians stop lying, when the pathological liars in congress and the White House get excuses from their fan base for every lie and the media that cheer on the teams ignore the faults of their politicians.

Hold these SOBs accountable.

Democrats should resign from all these big cities they've screwed up.


It is a shame that those with their hands out don't have the incentive to change their own future for the better.
