Bob Makes a Funny
- Mayoral candidate and former Ald. Bob Fioretti made his own pitch to rename an already-named Chicago landmark for Barack Obama Friday.
Fioretti held a tongue-in-cheek press conference Friday morning outside of the Daley Center, which he proposed should be renamed for the former president.
The press conference was intended as a jab at fellow mayoral hopeful Bill Daley, who suggested last week that the Dan Ryan Expressway should be renamed to honor Obama and said he’d “like to see the legislature act on this early next year.”
“I think if we’re going to start un-naming our public institutions that memorialize 20th century politicians and re-naming them for 21st century politicians, we should start un-naming with the ancestor of the mayoral candidate who thinks it’s such a good idea,” Fioretti said Friday at the press conference, which was described in official releases from his team as a “facetious” event.
Thinking people realize that Daley's proposal is an obvious pander to a racial segment he desperately needs to win the mayor's seat. Fioretti deftly makes the point - after all, Daley Senior was a racist of no small measure, kind of like all those guys whose statues are being pulled down.
Too bad Bob is such a tool. He'd be a decent candidate if he wasn't such a two-faced wishy-washy Machine sycophant.

The "Obama" BEAN.
We can name the south and west sides HELL!
Obama isn’t worthy of naming a clown college after him. Speaking of clowns, they should name the city council after him.
Bob is the best candidate (my own opinion). He is always at our fundraisers and wants to save pensions. Period.
Using New York City and Los Angeles for a comparison with Chicago, Mr. Fioretti also proposes that the amount of petition signatures required to run for mayor be deeply cut. Using the per capita number of city council members in the nation's other most populous cities, Chicago should have no more than SEVENTEEN (17) wards--NOT FIFTY. What say you, Mr. Fioretti?
While NYC's population is over three times larger than Chicago, they have only fifty-one City Council members.
While he's at it, rename "Maggie Daley Park" to "Jane Byrne Park".
OBAMA? Sounds good for naming a landfill just north of E. 138th St.
When it was built in 1965 it was called the Civic Center and Civic Center Plaza. The word, Civic, itself gave credence that good government in which the way the local government works and the RIGHTS and duties of people would be practiced. But that was really just on the surface. So seven days after RJD died it was named after the Monarch of the Daley Dynasty. After his death various throne holders held the throne for the in-waiting RMD who continued the lineage under the one party state. He left after two decades surprisingly, kind of like if Queen Elizabeth II would say, cheerio but I gotta scram. Then the Dynasty inserted a foreigner, RIE, as a place holder who introduced the socialist state of the sanctuary city proclaiming more socialism but he has now fizzled. So who can save the ancestry? It is Prince WMD. But he must make reparations to certain subjects of the kingdom to become the Monarch of the Dynasty. The price is high, he has suggested renaming a highway named after a deceased Duke to be renamed after the Supreme Monarch, BHO, to appease those subjects. But what if those amends are not enough. So maybe Fioretti is right if WMD wants his place in the hereditary succession he needs to go all the way and rename the expressway and the Daley Center, why take a chance. BHO Expressway and BHO Center and Plaza would be in keeping to the City's march to the Marxist-Lennist State. And once in he can rename Chicago to Daley City.
One party state? Socialist party? Free stuff? How about the idea of 4 areas that benefit the most from plundering the city for the very good jobs no matter the level of education and the no bid contracts. Start there. How about the priests who are pedophiles who never get arrested but if I smell like weed then what? The families of Daley, Vanecko, Claypool, Dan Ryan, Dunne, many other Irish all have stolen millions with no bid gigs and no show jobs.
Who, living or dead would wan't there name associated with the most corrupt city in America?
word is angry black man Ja'mal Green is out. Board of elections has ruled he is 800 or so
signatures short on his petitions. Oh learn how to add.
Talk about a suck-up. Talk about an empty suit.
Ride the back of the past to make a name for yourself.
Hey Bob, tax season coming up. If ya don't mind
wearing a dress and that goofy green spiked crown,
you can make a fortune working for 3 or 4 of these
places.
Hitch your wagon to a star, not a burned out meteor.
If Bob ever got into professional wrestling,
he'd be the only guy in a suit & tie inside
the ring.
Who is going to pay to rename the dan ryan. City, county, and state all broke. Just another pipe dream just like the star wars museum and da lympics.
“two-faced wishy-washy Machine sycophant.”
Well-said.
What’s strange, is that I was thinking the same thing! I really didn’t like the last president, with all his arrogance and all, and I have had it with the daley dynasty bullshit!
Didn’t they usually name things after dead folks?
They had to pass away first.
Why should we name a road after someone who should be hung for treason?
Bob is like Scott Waguespack - pretty legit but with a little progressive baggage. I’d vote for either.

Chicago should be renamed “Obamaville”. Folks existing here would be known as “Obamamites”. Everything with Chicago on it would be renamed Obamaville. The possibilities are endless. Kind of gives everything that small town closeness. Just think how proud you would feel when you visit other cities and say you are from Obamaville.
Then over here Illinois in decline with jb and crew we go further into oblivion:

When is GooFioretti going to pay people what he and his vote fraud felon campaign manager phony polling scum going to pay their bills from the last election.
Fioretti takes his orders from Jesse Jackson and the rest of the victim class.
Daley City? What's the nickname?
There must be a nickname or an identifier like the Big Apple, Bean Town, the Big Easy, Mile High City, Chiraq and so on.
Double Dick Town? New Car Jack City? Illegal Alien Haven? No JaiL Fail? Wilding Wonderland?
As Larry the Cable Guy says, "Now that's funny,I don't care who you are."
Anyone who is employed by the city that votes for a Daley is a fool. The last one just about bankrupted the city and destroyed the pension system!
😅
Obummer County Morgue!

Does anybody actually add up the cost of these name changes? It's not like just slapping up New signs handles it.
They should rename the Picasso the Obama. If Obama had a statue, it would look just like that one.
Good for Bob! Only candidate with a set and common sense.
Isn't there a Sewage Treatment Plant that could be named after Obozo?
Or... have one of those 'Honorary Streets' named for him -- this way the original street name isn't affected.
But no, not in Da Hood, or where his ::cough-lol:: 'mansion' ::cough-lol:: is in Hyde Park-Kenwood, but up in Boystown where the young Illinois State Senator called Barry liked to bar-hop on Friday & Saturday nights.
an aside: While on the topic of naming things keep this in mind: One day in the future the US Navy will 'have to' name a ship after both President Clinton AND President Obozo. And that's the irony of all ironies considering that both of them hated the US Military. Clinton even put it in a letter, writing in '69 to an Army Col saying he LOATHED the military! (Bill Clinton's Draft Letter)
And obozo did his damndest to destroy our military, shrinking all the branches to post WWI levels.
Bazinga!!
Bill Daley could you cuck even harder? Anyone willing to rename anything is a pussy. Especially for votes. What’s next? Renaming the John Hancock to the Laquan McDonald for the Jewish/communist/university/BLM vote?
Hmm Let’s see how about that large landmark right off 80/94 , we could name that Mt Barack. Or how about the Water Reclamation facility off 130th St that could be Lake Obama.
The obama landfill is the most appropriate thing i have read on this blog since its inception. Great way to end 2018 on a high note. The obama landfill is the place where they can take his museum when its torn down after 5 years from lack of use
At least he showed up to the recent officers wakes, unlike a lot of the other candidates.
maybe Bill Daley will see the light now. not likely
bill daley is the orchestrator of nafta, the worst international trade agreement EVER!!! for the USA
but he made sure he enriched himself and friends.
really wish there could be a viable candidate for mayor in chicago
SCC. any endorsements?
Rename it The Mumbles Center
Name the Water Reclamation Plant after Obama....
Rename Hyde park blvd to Obama blvd

You can now wash your mouth and wipe off the dirt on your knees....
Daley is taking his lead from Pritzker. Raise millions of dollars in campaign contributions and then you can buy the election . Daley is someone whose candidacy should not be taken lightly. Emanuel is not running for reelection for a good reason. Daley is being groomed to take his place. If we are not vigilant, it could happen. We need to get behind one candidate.
Name that new fuck-up basketball stadium obama..........
The Daily Security Team should be named obama............
Scott W is a progressive loser who along with the progressive caucus are cop haters, pro sanctuary city, pro illegal immigration, pro rent control, pro rights of felons and increased welfare for the permanent welfare class they represent.
If we're going to name things after Obama it would be more appropriate to name a funeral home
Instead of Dan Ryan expressway it could be The Worst President in History expressway. That way you wouldn't have to keep changing the name every time a new democrat gets elected, It would fit them all.
Anyone who is employed by the city that votes for a Daley is a fool. The last one just about bankrupted the city and destroyed the pension system!

Yes, you write the truth, but his center median flower boxes are nice. And, he rid our beautiful city of all those ugly parking meters. Now there are ugly parking kiosks everywhere, but less of them as compared to the meters. We should be grateful.
Sorry, New Mexico had the Obama presidential library first......
