Oh Dear Lord
- President Barack Obama, who's used to running the free world, will get a chance to lead a Chicago institution this year.
Obama has been slated to act as Grand Marshal for the the 2012 Bud Billiken "Back to School" parade.
This marks Obama's second run as Grand Marshal of the long running South Side parade. In 2007, Senator Barack Obama led marshaled the parade. Obama's presence at the August 11 parade comes roughly three months before voters head to the polls to decide between him and presidential challenger Mitt Romney (R-Mass).
We sense a mass cancellation of time off, furlough restrictions and maybe even a "emergency declaration" a la NATO.
The Secret Service has actually signed off on this?
UPDATE: Got to love the line, "...used to running the free world..." Seems they don't remember Obama's stated strategy of "leading from behind."

when first heard, the comment was....are they kidding (with the f-word inserted appropriately)?....would not be surprised if the city doesn't declare another emergency, with cancelled days off, etc....
Is the Bud alliance paying for all the Police coverage?
Two sets of rules is the Chicago way...
What if they gave a parade and no one showed up? Well, that might happen, because it will be too much of a hastle to get there with all the security! It will ruin the fun and tempo of the event. But he is such an out-of-touch jerk that he won't think of that. Rahm just needs to parade his buddy. Neither one of them has any heart or sense.
Considering that Obummer can't even give a speech without a teleprompter, maybe he'll get lost, take a wrong turn, and end up in Englewood, Chatam, or Westlawn...
Seems they don't remember Obama's stated strategy of "leading from behind."
I think it is "taking it from behind".
I wonder if he'll stop along the way to take some hits off of the blunts that pervade the parade route. That should be some nice rope line work for the secret service. Who out there will be the first to write an ANOV?
A fictional grand marshall , a fictional president for a fictional ghetto kid who is enrolled in a fictional school where he might actually get an equal education chance like Rahm's chosen kids of a fictional mayor. OT- Less than five cars went down my street today in Florida and everyone waved. My taxes are low, insurance low, stress non existant, mortgage paid off, no emissions, no illegal immigrants, no murders, no agg batts, bitches everywhere, fishing is great, food great, boy do I miss shitcago.
Who will search his supporters for weapons?
Who will be paying for the security detail? Yesterday it is reported on Drudge that it cost the taxpayers, in Boston, over $200,000to protect him while he was fundraising.
Who will be responsible for chasing the street dealers off the corners?
Will all of Bronzville, Kenwood and Hyde Park be shut down as he wanders around?
Mr. President please take your family to Monte Carlo or Paris as the taxpayers of Chicago cannot afford you and you do not need our votes but we do need jobs!
Oh, this is just fuckin' GREAT!!!!!! We get to see this asswipe at the kill a kid again parade!! Like the traffic isn't fucked up enough already??? What a bunch of political bull-shit!!!
you know this globel leader will ride in a "pope-mobile" of sorts.
Nightmare is not a strong enough description. When President Bush walked in the 2003 St. Pats day Parade down Columbus Blvd. they ( secret Service ) required us to sweep all the parade participants along the route where the president was walking thet supplied the magnatrometers and the uniformes Scret Service people to do the sweeps. It was easier downtown because we had limited access points across Harrison St. and Balbo was closed off. fences were set up and screening points ( like the airport TSA were set up ) the press of the crowd was so large that only several thousand made it through the screening points before the president walked past that area. It is truely a nighmare of logistics. Any one who has ever worked the Bud Parade knows the difficulty keeping these folks on the curb line, Imagine the problem with Obama on King Drive a nightmare. Iam sure he will only walk for a short distance then go on the reviewing atand for a short time and stay for a while. Iam shocked if the Secret Service signed off on this one.
Maybe he can show McCheesy this story from today's Crain's, in which a U of C prof gets it right:
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20120626/NEWS02/120629980/why-you-should-be-worried-about-the-random-violence
Someone should help Victoria Coleman to understand that if a single politician is running part of the world, there would be scant reason to call that part of the world free.
Journalists: Must so many of them be nitwits?
Everyone I'm sure will be on their best behavior...kinda like on election night. TRANSLATION: Lot's of violence and the only media coverage will be that of reporters falling over each other to say how great a day it is.
Ah, the Bud Biliken charade. Nothing quite says back to school like packs of grammar school girls being encouraged to shake their money makers for the crowd of dope smoking, malt liquor guzzling government dependent dregs of society. And don't forget the lost children tent where they come to collect the children they don't watch until they're done getting their drink and smoke on.
It is the only place Obama plays to adoring crowds - watch for the reruns.
First, police used as fancy buttboys to keep the rabble away from that "Jack and Jill" elite Jarrett wedding, now this.
Bastard's running for re-election; he'll cause twenty million dollars worth of trouble for a photo op.
NATO wasn't enough. It's gonna be over a hundred degrees, there's no Medical Examiner, and now this.
Have a heart. Oh, no.
POS.
Careful with that camera. The only thing you'll see on TV will be Obama, not the beatings, not the people humping on the parked car.
Funny SCC. This is a joke, right?
every chicago cop needs a case of the Blue Flu and stay homer that day...
That explains the last ditch effort of awarding the Cease Fire group one million dollars to stop the homicides.
Good luck with that.
Maybe they can move the Bud Billiken parade to Camp David like the G20?
Have you seen this? Today, the NY Times has done a better job in reporting the crime spike here than either the Trib or Sun-Times. Emperor Emanuel cannot be happy about this.

When Barry's done riding the Colt 45 float as the Grand Pooba, he needs to be put in charge of the "Lost Children's Tent". There he can reflect - hundreds of times - on just how much all these temporarily lost Chicago bastards look just like him.
So how's that NATO thing working out?
Check it out...did anyone see this is the news? Golly gee whiz it looks like it should be front page stuff to me!
Obama declares National Emergency and issues E.O. against Russian assets
On June 25, President Barack Obama issued a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and to the President of the Senate stating that under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, he was declaring a National Emergency due to actions incurred with Russia, and the Russian Federation. The submitted letter provides a declaration to Congress of the President signing Executive Order (E.O.) 13159, and its immediate implementation.
Under this National Emergency and Executive Order, the United States is seizing assets and property owned or managed by the Russian Federation relating to nuclear items and programs tied to Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU).
The ramifications of this Executive Order, along with portions that remain classified from the public, have vast consequences for the American people. Earlier this year, President Obama updated and signed several Executive Orders that deal with the complete control and confiscation of U.S. assets, infrastructure, and manpower in the case of a declared National Emergency. As of yesterday, that National Emergency has been invoked, opening the door for any number of policies to be enacted by the President going forward.
Additionally, this action against Russia and the Russian Federation could have massive consequences for America in regards to foreign policy, and even a potential act of war should Russia see fit to perceive Obama's actions as such. With NATO and Russia both rattling sabers in the region of Syria, the possible threat of a global conflict increased with this new asset confiscation order.
Events in the Middle East, along with regime changes in Egypt, Libya, and a number of Arab states, are engulfing Russia, Europe, and the United States into a potential global conflict that could quickly grow into something not seen in 68 years. With President Obama declaring a state of National Emergency, and imposing a new asset seizure on properties owned or controlled by the Russian Federation, the ramifications for war on several fronts, along with the potential of liberties and freedoms lost to the American people has increased to dangerous levels.

Will he attend the picnic afterwards in Washington Park with the family? NOT!! Bet he will head over to the mansion for the the night and then back to Washington. Just remember that a vote for Obama is a vote for RAHM!! Lets get rid of them both for good.
A 1 MILLION Dollar Grant has been provided to Ceasefire to stop the violence in select Districts. Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME? No money, no contract and pensions in shambles and they find this? If you generate one cent of revenue for this shithole you are an absolute idiot and need to be called out by your peers.
OT:
Not only from Supes office, but oofice of MLAS. Sgt's list delayed to mid July. City does not want to pay for 4th of July Holiday.
Originally scheduled to be 56 Sgts with no Lts.
Now sheduled to be 1 class of 30 Sgts followed by another class of 30 in Nov. or Dec.
Then Sgt. list to be dropped.
General observation, no specific knowledge --
As others of long experience have recently noted here, the leadership of gangs has been fragmented, a lot of their self-administered discipline is gone, and the shorties today are so crazy they'll do ANYTHING for street cred. Gon' be locked up high power, with a red wristband...
A prudent man might count it among the security factors to be considered that this area is demonstrably not a very safe place for anyone, let alone a prominent person.
I can only have faith that the very highly-trained and competent professionals responsible for these things have carefully considered the current environment in Chicago. TV was just reporting that the wave of violence here has made the front page of the New York Times.
What will they do when we as a group don't show up? Enough is enough,this is the worst parade in the worst part of the city about an imaginary man being led by a false profit and they expect us to pay for it. NO MORE!
Great news! Crime is down!...
off topic.. it looks to me like even scc is avoiding my question. How many sworn police officers are presently employed by city of chicago????
Will rahm require bud billikin organizers to pay for private security and pay $$$ up front like the southside irish parade organizers ???????
Maybe he can plead with the parade revelers to please watch their children. Never worked a parade where i didnt find numerous children whose parents got lost for hours on end.
Wow CeaseFire got a 1 million dollar grant. Thats very big.
Dear Mr. Mcarthy and Rahm,
What does the "Broken Windows" law enforcement policy say about handling illegal fireworks calls in Chicago?
After all the law is the law and must be enforced yet it seems like calls to 9-1-1 end up with no response!
What kind of message does this send "TO THE CHILDREN" about your laws! The city is exploding with this illegal activity!

Rumor has it that the FOP lost the 5th period greviance, but doesn't want to post it on their website. They don't wan't more shit for SCC to post and coppers to bash. Is it possible to get someone new in the FOP offices? These guys really do blow.
My question,
Will the media play the tape when Obama rides down King Drive and someone yells the following:
"The empiror has no clothes"!
The individual really means that Obama has no plans other than to demean George W. Bush.
But then did we expect anymore from a community organizer.
Shortly after Marshaling the parade Obama is expected to MC the Chicago version of the game show "Yo Ma Ma" at the festivities in Washington Park. This guy is worse than Blago!
A million tax payer dollars to the con men at Ceasefire! Rham is even a bigger fool and asshole than anybody thought. Let's have a pool on how long it will be before the first Federal indictment of these thieves!
Maybe we can scare up some cash for the mafia as well.
RIGHT ON! I'm going to National Fashions right now to score me some superfine threads for the Billiken!
I have to say, this parade sucks.
What a brilliant idea. What could go wrong?
"We sense a mass cancellation of time off, furlough restrictions and maybe even a "emergency declaration" a la NATO."
Exactly what I thought when I saw it on the news.
Just fu*kin great !
Yea I heard Obama and Bud Billiken are long time friends!
U.S. VP picked up large campaign check at fundraiser a few doors down from where I live in Lincoln Park. We weren't allowed to sit on our front porches when his motorcade came and went. We were shooed inside our homes & non-residents were told to leave the area. On my very short street there were Secret Service everywhere, CPD top brass, 18th district tactical, CPD canine, CPD Swat, CPD bike cops, IL State Police, CPD Patrol Officers, CFD's best equipped ambulance, CPD x-Large Wagon. How is Obama going to be secure at parade if this is what it took to "secure" Biden?
If obama had a son he would look just like bud billikin.
OT
McCarthy is gone August 1 and Wysinger will be the new Superintendent.
In the next few weeks, City Hall will play up how terrible crime is in Chicago. Expect the Times and Trib to headline any murder drama that pops up.
Rahm told McCarthy that the Cease Fire partnership was going to happen and Garry told Rahm he would have nothing to do with it. Garry refused to be at the press conference and said he would not tarnish his reputation by taking part in this. Rahm was forced to make this announcement today after the NY Times ran a cover article about Chicago's homicide rate. Rahm again called McCarthy and basically begged him to go to the press conference. McCarthy told him No Way! Rahm was himself supposed to go to the press conference but sent a lackey because he didn't want to answer questions about McCarthy's absence.
McCarthy has basically dared Rahm to fire him. If Rahm's reporter-supporters can get the public screaming about crime, then McCarthy is gone August 1.
Chicago is going to get a whole 25 new police officers. Thank God relief is on the way
PHILADELPHIA -- Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday announced more than $111 million in funding for more than 800 law enforcement positions across the country as part of a federal program aimed at hiring military veterans.
Holder announced the funding at Philadelphia's City Hall as part of the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Philadelphia will get $3.1 million for 25 officers, one of the biggest awards in the country. Los Angeles is getting $6.4 million for 25 officers, while Chicago is getting $3.1 million for 25 officers. Overall, Holder said the money would save 200 officers from layoffs and help hire 600 more.
"We look forward to welcoming these new additions to our nation's law enforcement community," Holder told a gathering of government officials and law enforcement officers – including Philadelphia police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, a former chief in Washington, D.C., whom Holder said was "still my chief."
All the new positions funded in the COPS hiring program this year must be filled by recent military veterans who have served at least 180 days since Sept. 11, 2001, officials said.
Other awards include $1.9 million for 15 positions in Atlanta; $1.1 million for nine positions in New Orleans; and $1.9 million for 15 positions in Boston.
Elsewhere in Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh is getting $1.4 million for 13 positions; Chester is getting $625,000 for 5; and Alquippa is getting more than $107,000 for one.
In Philadelphia, Mayor Michael Nutter said the money would help the cash-strapped city in its effort to hire about 400 officers over the next year to bolster a department that has shrunk down to about 6,200 amid tough financial times. Elected officials and others at the news conference said the federal assistance for law enforcement was critical as cities struggle through difficult economic times.
"Relief is coming, it's on the way," Ramsey said, noting the plans for new hires. "We're doing all we can, but we do need the help."
Is the secret service insane???? How many felons attend every year? How many do you think are packing???
Just how afraid is he of losing Illinois? Three years he doesn't even pick up his mail, and now he and Michelle are here more often than a United Airlines Captain...
Oh boy. WHAT AN HONOR THAT IS..
Here we go again. Gas up the Lincoln Navigator One with wings and waste millions of tax dollars on top of the millions that he and his "Im finally proud of the United States" wife have already wasted by jumping on the fully loaded taxpayer's winged recreational vehicle anytime they want for any reason they can think of to go anywhere they want, just because they can.
That there Bud Billiken is a good guy..Heard that last year. Pissed my pants.. Dont even know WTF it is. All you can do is laugh.
What a joke. Keep voting democratic you idiots.
Enough is enough, this is a Campaign Photo-Op, screw him. Let Ceasefire protect his arrogant ass.
Why don't this Idiot stay in Washington D.C. and solve real problems?
The Economy sucks! Government going broke and raising taxes! Imigration Problems! ETC!!!
Seems like nothing gets done with this President!
Awwwwwww, hell no!
Classic, now the peeps can celebrate two people that never accomplished a damn thing in their lives.
Will BHO bring the family to the Bud Killagain parade and barbeque? I can hear it already.
Daddy! Daddy! Please get us out of here now! These people are scary! They look like us, but they don't act like us.
Hopefully justice.

CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT and
CITY OF CHICAGO,
Speaking of delayed homocide, I'm still waiting for the next tac sgt to be dumped from 018 since another fool was shot again in rows.
New Orleans has Mardi GRAS, this is day is Sharti Ya'll.
Hope it's not real windy that day, it may look like Dumbo leading Macy's Thankgiving Day parade from above.
Will JJ be supplying 40 ozer's from the family beer empire ???

Yeah, they then they will be laid off a couple of years later when the money runs out and the election is over. just like in the 90's
Can I get an event number?
In my entire police career I managed to never once work a Bud Billiken Circus or a Gay Pride Charade or a South Side Irish Drunk Fest. Proper planning is what does it.
OT --
"I am not authorized to communicate police operational information to CeaseFire or other civilians. Ask the district commander, watch commander, or designated liason officer for the information you want."
There.
'Scuse me. Got work to do...
Let's see here, August 11th, CPD anniversary date, DOG 62, wait a minute, I am in DOG 62! So I am RDO on Billiken day so I can celebrate 26 years of this crap! Yippee. I won't be here for next year's anniversary. Now how about that? Class 86-5, adios pretty soon my friends.
Great, just keep on catering to the savages. This city is doing downhill fast.
Why not let the New Black Panthers® run security along with Ceasefire© as backup?
Time off will be cancelled the 11th. all tac teams will be going down... thats 75 tac teams. along with gangs and all other units and three cars from each watch... what a joke.
The city will spare no expense in providing a political showcase for the nation to admire what great brave leaders we have here.
How bout a rally by all the unions in the city that day to counter their fake love fest.
Regarding 1 million to Cease Fire, I thought they were under investigation for pocketing money so now they get more money, and why does it cost a million dollars to walk down the block and talk to small groups of youth you use to kick it with? I walk down the block walking my dog in the hood and talk to people as I pass by, soooo can I get on that payroll? I know how to say "Hey don't fight love one another, its that simple right?? Oh and can I get paid in cash too? Actually never mind, its too embarrassing to take money for walking and talking when the youth and children still have no where to go and their homes suck so they don't want to be in them, but keep walking and talking, that should save some lives yeaaahh
Lock up everyone. Apply the broken window program od policing. get off the street.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
When is this illegal, pretend potus going to stop trying to be involved in all this stupid ass stuff and start taking care of this country? Like maybe accomplish something before his ugly, huge-eared head will be voted out of office? I can't even look at him anymore nor can i listen to his voice. He is pure evil. An evil man, with an ugly heart full of hate for this country. Go away and take that Jefferson-esque family out of the White House. I mean must we be subjected to his wife doing push ups on tv with Ellen? How utterly embarrassing.
So glad to be retired.
I am not a medical roll abuser but I will do anything to avoid this fiasco. I am too old and too close to pulling the pin for this horse shit show.
Obama is trying hard to rack up votes!!
i bet Obama will go to Apollo Beach to help Jon Burge out too since Apollo beach is flooded !! lol
"Will BHO bring the family to the Bud Killagain parade and barbeque? I can hear it already."
Of course... once the election is over they will be back in Chicago and need a place for schooling.

Sounded good until the 04 of July part. Since P.os would be in training (and still be making Po pay) they would be forced to take day off. Or let them stay in district and postpone class where they will make time and a half. So city actually loses money by postponing it. Apparently you are not on the list. At least not by score.
he's got to ralley his base...

6/26/2012 05:28:00 PM
I was told by counting up all the sworn title codes (9161 etc.) it's about 11,300. I find that hard to believe.
It is about 11,300. All sworn. Right now about 750 under 2012 budget, off from 13,500 high of a couple of years ago. Anyone says otherwise they're ignorant or lying.
If the Federal government can only afford a few thousand cops the USA is in it's decadence.
What a joke!
Maybe there is enough time left for him to borrow the PopeMobile from the Vatican and have it shipped over heah to ride in during the parade. Then again, he might not need it beause regardless of how he "disses" the South and Westsiders he their man and they are proud of him and they love him and to them he walks on the waters.
What if the teacher's strike??
In his book "Dreams Of Having A Father", Barry Sotero wrote he remembered Bud Killagain visiting him in Indonesia.
I'm so glad I'm retired, that's the longest parade and usually in unbearable weather. It goes on, and, on, and on........There's a lot of good people that have been attending it for years, but couldn't they shorten it?
What if the teacher's strike??
6/27/2012 09:08:00 AM
What if they do?
