re: #352 albusteve

as a Dem you cannot make the state senate without Daley’s blessing…he was that powerful

OK, so Daley was powerful and gave Obama the go-ahead. So what? Does that taint all Dems in IL?

Either way Obama is hardly a Neanderthal or tough guy like the Daleys. Will never forget the images of Daley (Sr?) at the 1968 Dem convention. While a Senator complains about the police going wild outdoors, Daley screams at him, in full view of all cameras, to “get the fuck off the stage” and worse. That ain’t Obama.
