All the Economy's Fault
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Thursday blamed the economic squeeze on the middle class for his 35 percent showing in a Chicago Tribune poll that also shows him trailing Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis.
The Tribune’s findings are similar to the results of a Chicago Sun-Times poll that showed the mayor with 29 percent support overall and only 8 percent from African-Americans. The Sun-Times also did a more recent head-to-head poll that put Lewis in the lead in a one-on-one race.
“There’s tremendous economic stress in people’s lives, which is why I’ve pushed for the minimum wage, which is why I’ve pushed for policies to make sure our small businesses have a fair chance and an equal chance with big companies,” the mayor said.
So Fran takes a Tribune poll and uses it in the Sun Times for Rahm to blame the economic squeeze for his shitty poll numbers. Fran was one of Richie's biggest cheerleaders for years. We suppose to maintain that all important "access" to City Hall, she has to give Rahm some sort of platform to attempt to salvage his reelection try.
Whatever happened to the supposed independent media? Have the Trib and Times finally merged?

Chicago media has no journalist. They should be called CPA's. Cut Paste Artist.
The political apparatchik emails them a press release and they cut and paste and post it as news.
No critical thinking necessary. Nothing.
However, what should one expect from a industry going bankrupt. They are going to cater to the billions of dollars that buys advertising for campaigns and of course you can't piss off the corporations that funded those campaigns either so.
Setting the stage for all these great programs and infinitives that are gonna need just a little more time.
I mean the ship is about to turn the corner if we just had a little more time.
You don't want to give up now and change horses mid-stream now do ya?? If you give up now you're a quitter and look at the images that conjures up.
Come on man...after all we been thru. just give me four more years man, we're like family ya know...
/sarcasm
Timing is everything.
Anyone want to place a bet on how fast the feeb's and ISP support vanish after the election ballots is counted. How fast the pensions are back on the chopping block?
This corruption has gotta go. VOTE YOU FUCKERS!
OT. I saw the Feds riding with some guys from gang intel tonight. They looked real excited and clueless.
Trib and Times caved long time ago...they even bought then sold a disparaging tale of Jane Byrne made big by Dave Axelrod. They made up or exaggerated much then ran her out on a rail....haven't had a good time of it lately have we???
I wouldn't have purchased a pick up truck if I I had any idea Rahm was going to double the price of a city sticker.
If I own it for 10 years I will pay 2,000.00 in city sticker fees. ....unless they increase, then I will pay more.
Lewis for mayor !
Maybe Rahms policies affect the economy at a micro (Chicago) level. However, at a macro level blame The bad economy on the politicians in Springfield and Washington D.C. Democrats run the show in both placess.
TO ALL MEDIA READING THIS:
How about doing an article, or "a story," about the health care costs paid by taxpayers to treat the thousands of people shot in Chicago every year.
How much is the violence in Chicago, or any other city, costing the taxpayers? If we pay the taxes to medically treat the gangbangers, shouldn't that be public information?
It's Crime and Taxes!!!!
Rahm Emanuel...
The smartest municipal CEO in the modern era?
Outsmarted himself into a corner.
Hey Rahm!
How goes your war against Policemen?
How goes your war against Firemen?
How goes your war against Teachers?
How goes your war against what's left of the middle class taxpayers?
How goes your war again the death culitist contingent of the catered to constituency?
How goes your war go to relace them with freshly waved over and more obedient Central Americans
death cultists to fight with them over what's left of the democratic party?
Gee Rahm... You have an awful lot of unnecessary fights you picked with a lot of people as you parachuted into Chicago.
You told the Firemen: "You're gonna have to learn to bleed!"
You told the Policemen: "We're gonna stick it in the cops ear!"
Your immediate predecessor facilitated the theft of $Billions of dollars in muni employee pension money and for some reason you're protecting him and blaming The Police for the destruction og their pension funds and the meltdown of this city financially.
"Fuck the Cops... Let not hire so our friends on Wall Street can reap a benefit managing their pensions and kick some fees and commissions back to us in the endless loop of campaign money and bust their pensions out so nobody will wonder where the money went."
WTF?
Where the fuck were the feds when Daley & Co. were stealing with both fucking hands?
Buh Bye Rahm.
I would love to see Rahm fall flat on his face and lose the next election!
- Garry M
Could it be that Rahm is just a terrible mayor and we are not supporting him for re election?
I have to reluctantly admit that I unfortunately feel defeated and depressed at our current state. The term "sheeple" used to amuse me. Now it describes the vast majority unquestionably. When, how and why did everyone become so fucking stupid to where they are felching from rahm and obama's ass? Wtf! Wake up people or we are doomed. It's all democratic and games until someone winds up in the alley bricked in the head and sodomized.
the city hall media is bought and paid for by the chicago tax payers.
fran spielman has a city hall office, the reporters get shuttled around and follow rahm in a city owned van with M plates.
this practice has been going on for decades under daley and rahm has followed his lead.
hello joe ferguson??? do you not see a waste of city tax payer money ?
rahm has pandering down to a science.
He shows up at the viewing party for the JRWL little league game. Hell, five days ago he didn't know they existed, he didn't know Morgan Park existed.
What a putz!
Policies for small business?. As a small business owner for 35 years I have had more trouble from the city in the last 12 months then the previous 34 years . Seems like a never ending stream of inspectors coming up with new violations. Some of the fines for minor things have been incredible. If I'm going to be paying thousands every year in fines and to comply with violations it's probably better to close the doors. Of course , my 4 employess will lose their jobs and my landlord will probably never get another tenant so he'll lose the rent.
Anyone want to place a bet on how fast the feeb's and ISP support vanish after the election ballots is counted. How fast the pensions are back on the chopping block?
Gee, why did it take him so long to accept this help from the state? Could it be that the latest polls have him dead last as the peoples choice for mayor in the next election? Naw.
He's one of us. Remember that. Look how hard he fought to be declared a resident of this fine city before the last election. He did that because he knew, if elected, that he would have all the resources ( and the ear of his former boss ) of the Federal Government to shower down on Chicago.
So. Four years later, how's that working out?
Vote for Karen Lewis and vote out EVERY current alderman.
Ah, Rahmbo...Rambalina...Rahmster...Rahmcula. It's not the economy, stupid. It's YOU, you ridiculously clueless piece of shit. It's just you. The polls are low because the voters hate you and the non-job you're doing. But keep telling yourself that in the mirror every day. Dumbass.
Where the fuck were the feds when Daley & Co. were stealing with both fucking hands?
At this point, I'd really be surprised if the feds did ANYTHING. Most likely they will wait until he dies and then they will publish their findings, which was probably part of the deal he struck with them.
When that day comes, a lot of bodies are going to be dug up.
>>>> 'Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Thursday blamed the economic squeeze on the middle class for his 35 percent showing ...' <<<<
Tiny Dancer then went on to list a slew of bullshit programs he wants that will put a FURTHER SQUEEZE on the ever shrinking middle class taxpayers in ChiRaq like: a higher min wage for the *ex-honor students* who flip burgers, 'free' cradle-to-grave gubmint skoolin' [okay I exaggerate a bit, 9.5 *only* wants all expense paid Pre-K through Graduate School -- hey why stop at a lousy Bachelor Degree that's 'free' :-)], plus more Parks named Daley, and anti-business policies in general that kill the economy.
Rahm's not tone deaf, he's friggen clueless. Then again he is a demonRAT, so being clueless is kind of mandatory.
The only good things the Shitcago news rags are good for is pickinng up dog shit and cleaning windows, (after you get rid of the shit).
But but...
Rahm's buddy in the White House says things are fine, as does the (D) party.
Who's right and who's wrong here?

This is an excellent suggestion. Where are all the investigative reporters?????
This would be a great report. All the gangbanging shootings should be addressed by fining the gangs- that would put a dent in their operations.
I am tired of footing the bill!
“There’s tremendous economic stress in people’s lives, which is why I’ve pushed for the minimum wage, which is why I’ve pushed for policies to make sure our small businesses have a fair chance and an equal chance with big companies,” the mayor said.
Hey asshole, that minimum wage you are pushing will only accelerate the demise of medium and small business in Chicago and Illinois in general. They are already under the strain of outrageous property and income taxes. Trust me, I tried making it in Chicago as a business. On top of the above taxes there are application fees, permit fees, inspection fees and on and on and on. A few of the most outrageous fees in Chicago; a fee because the awning on our store front covered part of the sidewalk and a fee to plant trees in front of our business. And yes people, there is even a fee to get a permit to wash your windows. Fuck Chicago!
The press can shovel Rahm's shit all day long....anyone with eyes and brain can see what's really going on in shitcago.....
No Rahm, your numbers are dropping because you're a tax-aholic p***k!
"Dick"tator Rahm is a DISASTER, but. Karen Lewis???? Forget Chiraq. It will become Chitroit. This city deserves better, but as long as idiots keep electing morons, the slide into hell will continue.
O.T. i love how the news media is waiting for the name of the officer that shot the guy in MO.plus all the police haters at daley plaza yesterday,what about ALL the Police Officers that have been shot, UNREAL..
But let's face it, the democrap party will buy off his competition (like it already did with the racist Preckwinkle) and Chicagoans will be stuck with this fool for four more years. He is going to tax the middle class every step of the way.
This corruption has gotta go. VOTE YOU FUCKERS!
Vote for who ???? This city is full of corrupt assholes wsiting one right after the other , who we gonna vote for " Karen Lewis "? please !!!! You think she gonna be any better than this fuck !!!??????!!! The only person that could turn this around is a fiscally conservative canidate who has extreme social conservative views the kinda of guy that would walk into city hall and say your fucked party is over and the gather all the south side reverends and the west side gang bangers posing as community leaders and tell them I'm unleashing the police I will be fair and will not tolorate bad cops but your days of crying wolf and getting paid are over you don't want to get fucked up then don't engage my offices
But that all shit that only happens in a dream
David Axelrod is a "Red Diaper Baby" who reinvented himself as a "progressive Democrat" while continuing to push the Communist agenda. It should have been easy to the connect the dots.
I must say, I don't understand those of you who decry Rahm's despicable tactics and agenda of wealth redistribution (first to himself and cronies, then to the parasites), and his war on LE, who would turn around and vote for Karen Lewis as an alternative. Are those going to be the only choices in Chicago? If so, it's as if you have a choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Speaking as a resident of another state, one with its own current election problems.
The media loves having access.
It takes months to get a FOIA request.
I hope everyone is watching the riots on TV its coming here soon watch how the hack throw the police under a bus.
Yet everyone else steers clear of the mayhem.

Me too, but I hope you don't mean to the likes of Karen Lewis! She's pretty far left, and she'd give us much more of the upside-down policies that are hurting the city (the whole country in fact) and the middle class.
--Law Abiding Citizen
Karen Lewis can't beat Rahm. Poll answers cost nothing. Votes count, and that story about her having three houses and making $200,000 a year is the very first hint of what media will be like for her in a campaign.
If you want Rahm out, find someone else to support ASAP. Lewis will lose.
Rahm is no different then Richie, His friends are all profiting from him being the Mayor, Take a look at the nationality of them, I'm just saying, He is feared by his entire staff and they don't make a move without him. I really hope somebody beats him, The city is quickly drifting downward, he fears the black communities and we will have problems stemming from the Miussouri shooting, That governor just caved in, brought in a black State police Captain to just about take over the Ferguson PD. That Chief was just oin TV, looked very rattled when he gave out the involved Cops Name. He is just about guilty because any positive proof will not be believed because this 6 foot 3 300 lbs. kid was just an ANGEL>> We as police are Fucked if you shoot a black kid, just wait. Glad I'm gone.
The only thing this stooge knows about the economy is how to politicize it. Raise the minimum wage, where does the "raise" come from? Help small business by making it impossible to get through the paperwork and regulations.
Listen you crony political prick, you want to help the economy, then get the fuck out of the way.
Government produces NOTHING, but these jag's keep growing government. To what end? Votes?
What is it going to take to get elected officials to represent their constituents, total collapse? WTF!!!!
Scc, can you please post the rap sheet and photos of "innocent" shitbird Michael Brown throwing up gang signs. Fucking media is making this Trayvon part 2. Sickening and pathetic. Take accountability for your actions for once ghetto community. Oh Lordy I'm about to fall out. We's miss him!
Bottom line.....bye rham
omg val from the view looked disappointed when news broke that person shot by police officer was on a video committing a strong armed robbery seemed confused why police may have been forced to use deadly force on a person that committed a strong armed robbery
stated that a witness said person ,offender) had hands in the air when shot , wow witness was accomplice in the strong armed robbery
offender used force against store clerk , could have attempted to disarm the police officer to escape after all he was going to college in a week . an arrest for robbery may have changed his future attending college
still wonder why there is crime in black community , people in power and that influence others defend robbery offenders , people that disarm police officers , people that beat a community security guards head intoa sidewalk . that is the real problem .
Hey Rahm, I just canceled my land line phone so I don't have to pay the new tax you and the 50 thieves just passed. Now how is that new tax working out for you?
Rahm is one of the worst mayors in the history of Chicago, but still, a better chance than not he WILL be re-elected, because:
1 - The media loves him and will continue to cover for him and drool over him
2 - One of the following:
(A): An un-electable dimwit will be on the ballot opposing him, assuring his win, or, (B): 2 or more anti-Rahm candidates on the ballot, splitting the anti-Rahm vote, again, assuring Rahm's win
3 - The average Chicago voter is a complete idiot. Remember, the majority in this city voted Rahm the con-artist in, in the first place. They also voted for Gov. Quinn, who has bankrupted this state. They also voted in, and then re-elected, probably the most incompetent and racist U.S. President ever, Barack Obama.
We are most likely stuck with Rahm.
61/2 years later ... Still bush s fault.
ssc hey everybody cant stand rahn i agree , but karen lewis as mayor is not the answer , the real answer rudy guiliani for mayor 2015
Funny my economic woes ended when I left the state. But yeah that damn economy is really wrecking things. Always best to blame something intangible.
Squeeze on the middle class. ..the mayor says..
The squeeze of high city taXes.
City sticker....water... check your cell phone tax...
The mayor is squeezing us all.
The is no fiscal conservative in this state. ..
The mayor believes. Tax them He doesn't even offer us cake.
Fyi, most if not all of our fiscal and social issues due rest on Daley sr and jrs shoulders. Rahm is a lightweight compared to the Daleys and guite possibly be a one termer.
I would vote for Lewis over Rahm in a heart beat. She's the less of 2 evils and would support the unions knowing how the city has pissed on them over the years. She would also tell the truth about who really destroyed the pension.
OT...I see that the boyfriend accused in the "stuffed her in a suitcase" murder is being identified in the newspapers as an aspiring rapper. Aspiring rapper. That has to be the largest group of "what I'm gonna be some day" people. Or folks for that matter, but I digress. It seems that he will soon be joining the other hundreds of aspiring rappers in a Mali prison. I wonder if he is a multilingual aspiring rapper. One good thing...there's a lot of metal to bang on so he can lay down some beats.
There are also 13 police agents with salaries ranging from rough;y $84k to $90k. Don't even know what that is.
I...A...D
Rahm is in some serious denial if he thinks his poll standing is a reflection of the economy. Rahm has closed 50 schools on a whim, 9 Mental Health Clinics, resulting in hundreds of mentally ill patients on the street and CTA. He is arrogant, a phony like the two Presidents he served. It has nothing to do with the economy; it has to do with Rahm being an asshole. And I will vote for Lewis, only to screw Rahm. What other choice do we have? It is like vote for: Trotzky, Lenin, Stalin or Engels.
If Lewis doesn't run for mayor, maybe Alan Keyes is available. Ha..Ha..Ha. The sad fact is that Judy Barr Topinka, an experienced Republican could have made a serious challenge to Rahm.
Karen has my vote
Anyone but Rahm
Rahm is no good, Karen isn't much better. Check out her racist rants on utube. Both stink.

The facts: approximately, or about, 37 percent of the eligible voters in the city of chiraq voted in the last mayoral election(google cc board of elections)
Rahmbo won about 55 or so percent. So he was elected by only 20 or so percent of chiraqians.

Talk to the alderrman about how you are getting squeezed and the probability of shutting down the busines.
Talk to he landlord. The landlord might be willing to subsidize part of the fines (better than not having a tennant).
Talk to the employees and offer to cut a few hours instead of firing people or closing the shop. (The employees might have to work a bit harder to pick up the extra work.)

Dear Friend: My comment that the majority of this City voted for Rahm, is in reference to those who actually bothered to cast a vote, for after all, THEY are "the voters." Eligible or registered "voters" DO NOT COUNT. Only those who cast an actual vote on election day, constitute "the voters," and you pointed out that "55 or so percent" of those who casted a vote, voted for Rahm.
THAT, my friend, is the majority of voters in Chicago...the ones who showed up at the polls. I vote in every election, and have done so since I was 18, though it is sad that so few "eligible" voters do today....

Not 2 years ago the president's former right hand man was doing the sunday shows selling the bullshit line that the reason barry should be re-elected was because the economy was back to pre-crisis levels, the recovery was well underway, and the stimulus worked... now all we had to do was wait for all those green jobs, and all those happy people no longer "job-locked" because of all the wonders obamacare would bring, and the jobs! All those jobs coming from the economy being back on the upswing.
You democrats are suckers.
Illinois voters will re-elect Quinn and Rahm because the republican vote tallies won't reach the margin needed to defeat the fraud that comes from "walk around" money.
Madigan was named in a report after the corruption at Metra resulted in an internal investigation that showed he made Shakman hiring practices look like child's play. Will his daughter take up where that investigation left off?
Holder tells Madigan and the General Assembly to "wait" and not go forward with any investigation into the 54 million dollar blatant vote buying scheme by quinn in 2010.
Rahm was big on blaming bush for all of Barry's problems but awful quiet about the bungled "mess he inherited" from his predecessor.
Losers. All of us.

The balls in the pachinko machine horribly got all lined up right, and a more-than-liberal Oak Park matron reaped the reward of her beliefs.
That was an awful small suitcase -- the man-friend is a 200-pounder, I can just imagine him stomping on the thing, standing on it until girlfriend could get the latches to snap shut.
Mom in a luggage cart, with blood and prints all over everything. Put it in a taxi and that will make it go away.
Indonesia's death penalty is by 12-man firing squad. Come unannounced in the middle of the night, drag you out of your cell and off to an "undisclosed" location in the jungle. "LOAD!" etc.
They have over 400 ancient, terrible prisons, many left over from the Dutch colonizers -- and one new, modern "model women's prison" set up for PR purposes, photos of how great it is on the web. Looks like those "Back To School" advertising fliers, how neat your college dorm room will look with teddy bears and color-coordinated sheets.
The "crazy" daughter has already declined local help and got herself an American lawyer -- money flows like water with these people -- I don't know Indonesia's rules on "state's evidence," but the place is corrupt as hell and runs on bribery. Mattress, catered meals, A/C for your cell, whatever you can pay for. Even the judge.
I figure her to dump on manfriend, maybe get a stiff sentence and eventually repatriated here while manfriend gets the blindfold and a sigaret kretek. (Stay away from those, the cloves in the tobacco will give you "chemical pneumonia." Happened to me when I was a dumb kid. Hospital.)

The majority of Chicagoans do not vote. Rahm was elected with a majority of the 25% that turned out for the election. The same sheeple that come out to vote democrat because "that's what we were told to do" The sad thing is we are doomed to repeat this process over and over again until the rest of this God forsaken city gets off their collective asses.
to 8/15/14 10;51pm im retiring in a couple years and want to get the hell out of here too what state are you moving too anybody have any good ideas , might even consider leaving the country too
and im a veteran on top of that
It's interesting how the San Francisco progressives, who are behind this living wage BS, are also the ones who invest in the companies that make the machines who will replace those same workers.
Just saying.
What other choice do we have? It is like vote for: Trotzky, Lenin, Stalin or Engels.
Or you can try your luck with a Republican candidate.
Whomever that might be.
OT...I see that the boyfriend accused in the "stuffed her in a suitcase" murder is being identified in the newspapers as an aspiring rapper. Aspiring rapper. That has to be the largest group of "what I'm gonna be some day" people. Or folks for that matter, but I digress. It seems that he will soon be joining the other hundreds of aspiring rappers in a Mali prison. I wonder if he is a multilingual aspiring rapper. One good thing...there's a lot of metal to bang on so he can lay down some beats.

The only good thing about this case is that it happened overseas, in another country and they WILL execute in a timely manner after the trial!

We watched this with some interest waiting for the backstory to finally develop.
Dad was an older black guy and a musician of some reknown.
You pegged Mom EXACTLY for what she appeared to be... Mom was in her early 40's when she birthed "little darlin'..."
Dad died some years ago.
"Little Darlin' " seems to have developed a reputaion in that quiet corner of Oak Park for clowning and showing her ass.
Liberal "Hands Off" parenting?
Fuck that all up in it's ass...
We are on record with ours...
If we feed it, clothe it, shelter it, teach it, love it, endeavor to support it so that it grows up to take it's place in society as a productive citizen?
Well motherfucker, we have the right to beat IT's fucking ass shitless if it does not respond to genteel forms of discipline and correction.
And we will beat that ass even harder if IT has the silly assed notion of physically fighting the effort at at true parental love, correction and discipline.
"Dad is CRAZY!"
That's part of the problem in this country. The liberal nanny-statists demand that you back down from your child so as not to "scar them for life."
How do you want it?
Better the parent tell their little darlin' "no" and "thou shalt not" than little darlin' finding out in the REAL WORLD that there are persons, places and powers that enforce "no" and "thou shalt not" with legally sanctioned bullets, blades and hangman nooses.
This little bitch showed her ass in one of those places.
She IS going to DIE or rot alive by THEIR LAWS.
She may be crazy as fuck but she isn't stupid. She KNOWS she's in the deepest, darkest doo-doo her tender ass has ever been in.
Fuckin' A-right she wants an American lawyer! she doesn't want to be a pile of green, moldy bones left in the jungle.
She's WISHING she were being hauled off by Oak Park P.D.
No pity for her or her jocker.

Policies for small business?. As a small business owner for 35 years I have had more trouble from the city in the last 12 months then the previous 34 years . Seems like a never ending stream of inspectors coming up with new violations. Some of the fines for minor things have been incredible. If I'm going to be paying thousands every year in fines and to comply with violations it's probably better to close the doors. Of course , my 4 employess will lose their jobs and my landlord will probably never get another tenant so he'll lose the rent.

That is disheartening.
Talk to the alderrman about how you are getting squeezed and the probability of shutting down the busines.
Talk to he landlord. The landlord might be willing to subsidize part of the fines (better than not having a tennant).
Talk to the employees and offer to cut a few hours instead of firing people or closing the shop. (The employees might have to work a bit harder to pick up the extra work.)
If you have been in business for 35 years, then this should be a minor battle for you.

Better yet, take your business a block outside the city boundaries, where you don't have to deal with harassment, fines and a hostile business environment.
Minor battle, my ass. The city should be doing all it can to encourage business, not drive it away with gestapo tactics.
