Ignoring Chicagos problems an aloof ideologue to the last/caption
Its appropriate that Barack Obama gave his farewell address" in his political hometown. Against this backdrop of pervasive and obvious despair Mr. Obama has completely ignored the results of his disastrous tenure. While he lives as a pretender a deluded Great Gatsby golfer he struts and preens as Americas first black president. In retrospect all empty symbolism obscured by the reality of his abject failures.
Who has suffered more than the black community in the windy city? Poverty joblessness violence and homicide: Chicagonicknamed Chiraqhas it all! Did Mr. Obama address the fact that Chicago has been the nations record-breaking murder capital for five of the last eight years of his presidency? Or did he crow about his illusory successes" like adding 9.3 T in debt or the fictions of a 4.7 employment rate (with 95 million people out of the workforce) and the job-killing premium-surging debacle that is ObamaCare?
America has paid a terrible price for embracing aloof Obamas cult of personality; the superficiality of identity politics that has taken America to the brink. The only value in Mr. Obamas self-serving Chicago bloviating is in one word: goodbye.
