DAMMMMMMM AAAAM!!!! Hope it blows my mind Sho Nuff.

WOW!!!

WTF!!!

JFC!!!

This guy has Wall Street STINK all over him.

FR lefty liberals and the Professional Left are going to erupt over this move. Add to this move the news in today’s WSJ that, on 02/07/11, Barry will hop in his really tricked out ride to motor over to the Chamber of Commerce’s D. C. headquarters to address them. Hat in hand?

Mr. Ed (Schultz) is positively going to stroke out, have a heart attack, and soil his panties, all at once when he hears this news!!!!!

CNBC’s Jim Cramer just shouted with glee “HE’S SENSATIONAL!!! Following up with “It proves Obama is changing his approach to business because it wasn’t working”

WOW!!!

Try responding to this little gem

Oh. Wait. He is both a democrat, and the brother of the current Chicago mayor. That renders any statement he makes not applicable. After all, it was more than twenty years ago, right? It is not as if the media hammers republicans with statements they made twenty years ago, right?

Right?

Wrong. And, for the record, my regard for Barbour took a nosedive when I read those statements. He is not a child, to be forgiven for a lack of understanding of the groups he thought did so much good. I might even have forgiven the statement from a twenty- something, as havi g occurred before their time, and, therefore, having an impact on their understanding.

This, my liberal friends, is in the same league as Barbour's comments. Should be greeted with the same contempt, but will not be.
Try one standard. It makes your life SOOO much easier.

no joe, no bo, nj

No Jo it was not as much barbour's comments but everybody knows that back then in MS the Klan controled everything, he comments makes it seem that in his town they faught back against the Klan, No Jo have you ever been to MS ?

To try and defend Barbour with out knowing or seeing MS for your self No Jo is wrong. My Dad grew up in McComb MS, No Jo i went down there for a family reunion 10 years ago and i volved Never to go back there. Going there made me understand why once my dad came to chicago, he NEVER wanted to go back. No Jo take a trip to MS, and you will see that Barbuours was full of it with his comments

I vaguely remember the comments Bill made back in 1988, but lets be real jessie Jackson has been a pain in the butt for the daleys, going back to 1966 when King lived in chicago for a time. there is no love loss there, My opinion of Old man Daley is, i see him and Bull Corner in the same photo, but Bill and Richie are a generation removed from there father.

2 weeks ago when the firemen were killed in chicago, one of the dead firemens wife was works for richard Daley, he spoke at his services and the man was truly heart broken, yes he get heart broken when one of his men is killed, (police, Firemen) but the way he spoke of this man it was like he was a member of the famlily.

No Jo your post tell me you are very skeptical of the Daleys, the machine, currupte politicans of chicago, but all you have to do is come here and see for your self the great things Mayor daley has done in his 20 years. hoods that you would take your life going in are not redeveloped, the Projects are goan, and life is better in chicago now than when he came to office. I can't say that about MS.

Jeff, I am truly sorry if you misunderstood my post. I was not defending Barbour- I was denouncing him.

You know, you are one of the few posters on this board whose good opinion I value. That is because you are honest, Jeff- not someone with a knee-jerk reaction of left equals right, right equals wrong.

So, let me be clear- I HAD thought that Barbour might be a good candidate for president, but then those remarks surfaces. Now, I would never vote for him. What I was trying to say in my post was that if, say, he was twenty years old, he might be forgiven for not understanding what he was talking about. He is not twenty, he is well over fifty, and, therefore, should know better. His candidacy is over, for me, at least.

I have no use for racists, from either party.

No Jo

honey I'm sorry, you know with me some times reading is a skill.

have you ever been to MS ?

my dad is from McComb MS and i swear i would never go there ever again.

I am from mccomb, ms. I now live in New Orleans, two hours from there. I don't like Barbour -- never have. His comments were ridiculous and revisionist history. The "Citizens Council" was bad news. My own father, who was a banker at the time (and a WWII vet), refused to join even when pressured by his bosses, and suffered in his career as a result.

I'm not sure what you mean by your comments about your visit to McComb. Perhaps you were treated poorly. Perhaps you didn't like the way that it looked or felt uncomfortable. I don't know. Mississippi was a deeply racist place. Generally, it isn't any more. Deeply racist, that is.

But there are pockets of deep racism throughout the country. Even in Illinois, which has historically been a hotbed of Klan activity.

A lot of people stood up to powerful elements to see to it that Mississippi has made progress. Yes, Mississippi has racist elements, some of them strong. But there has been immense progress, thanks to hundreds of brave men and women, black and white. McComb went through a painful period that also has resulted in progress. For instance, McComb, MS has had an African-American mayor for the last 4 years. It has successful black-owned businesses. There are coalitions of black and white leaders and churchmen. Perhaps you were unaware of these things.

Before you impugn an entire state for the ignorant comments of its governor, perhaps look in your backyard -- e.g., a certain Rod Blagojevich -- and his predecessor wasn't so great, was he? I would also point out that Chicagoland is very segregated, with some suburbs reported to be "off limits" to minorities. So, be careful with that stone.

I also find it troubling that you are seeming to justify corruption by suggesting that the Daleys have done good things notwithstanding the corruption for which the city's government is well-known: "your post tell me you are very skeptical of the Daleys, the machine, currupte politicans of chicago, but all you have to do is come here and see for your self the great things Mayor daley has done in his 20 years" Chicago seems to be a productive and very liveable city, but corruption in politics is never justified, not in Chicago, not in New Orleans, not anywhere. And Chicago, like many other places, is well known for its corruption.

(BTW, when the Saints played the Bears in Jan 2006, the Bears fans were outright nasty and uncivil to the Saints fans. That is a fact. For example, one sign: "Finish what Katrina started." Harsh. But I don't blame all of Chicago for that -- such a generalization would be inappropriate.)

WHO DAT!

Well i got stopped as soon as i got in the state, the trooper saw the Illinois plates, stoped us, i asked why he gave no answer, but then asked why we were down there so far from chicago. then my brother who is older got stopped again, he asked why and the cops stopped him and this time the cops said that his car match one what was stolen, but early that day, i was driving my brothers car and cops passed me with out stopping me. I just did not feel comfortable. my aunts told me to expect that when a person is there from the north.

the people there were very nice, whites as well as blacks, i just did not like the treatmernt from the cops, while i was there.

if the bears play the saints, remember the bears have the 4th best defense, as long as cutler does not do something stupid, we should win.

Good luck tomorrow, Seattle is not a push over.

It would be nice if someone would get appointed for something that was outside the banking/financial/ruling class once, does anyone have any reason to believe that Daley has any concept of living as an average citizen in this God forsaken country? And does anyone think he gives a sh!t about anything but his wealthy buddies?

If there is a family that has a concept on living as average citizens its the daleys, yes there are a powerfull politican family, but you must go back and you will find that the daleys grew up in bridgport on chicago southside, they all went the chatloic school, grew up on a single famliy bunglaow. they did not have much, intill there father was elected mayor, and then its not like the job payed alot,

Bill Daley is a smart choose for cheif of staff.

That was the point that I was trying to convey, Obama seems to appoint a lot of people that had a hand in the financial disaster who don't care about the demise of the middle class, people who would be at home working for the Republican agenda, I am really sick of promises to help out "average" America when the deeds all seem to the contrary, like I have said before it is very easy to see the representation of the wealthy in D.C. in the laws written, for the people, well every decent pro ccommoner/citizen bill that came out of the House since Obama took office has met it's demise in the Senate, what has reached Obama's desk has for the most part been corporate lobbyists written trash that he should have vetoed, and that was when the Dem's controlled the House now what the House sends the Senate will already be bad for the masses and the Senate will make it worse and send it to Obama. Will Obama sign it anyway?
