I think that’s blatant disrespect? It’s clearly disrespectful but the blatant is where I’m stuck right now. It’s pretty over the top and obvious Anthony Edwards does not give one single flying F word about what Obama has to say. And maybe it’s because of shoddy campaign work in the fall for Democrats. Maybe it’s because he’s too young to remember the Affordable Care Act or really anything significant about Obama. Whatever the reason, I’m hanging my hat on that being blatant disrespect.
And that’s actually okay in my opinion because I have a bone to pick with Obama.
Specifically. President Obama. How come you never come back to Chicago? And why is it so easy for you to forget about us?
My chief problem/why I think he’s full of shit is because Obama rode Chicago right into the White House. You saw the rallies. You heard the speeches. You know what I’m talking about.
He’s walking around town in a bad White Sox hat with acid washed blue jeans, cheering for the Bulls and using Chicago as a backdrop for his presidency. We all bought in to it because it seemed authentic and genuine and that he was one of us.
Fast Forward 15 something years and I can’t remember the last time did anything around town. No architecture tour. No photo ops at the Bean or sandwiches at JP Graziano. Really makes me wonder: does he even own a condo here? Are any of his property taxes going to our pension fund crisis?
I don’t think so and that’s exactly why I love Anthony Edwards for keeping that monster ego in check.
And while this may seem political or harsh, I actually respect a lot of what Obama did with healthcare. He basically sacrificed his entire agenda in the attempt of making healthcare a fundamental right of American citizenship. A lot of people I know and love are much better off because of that, and I actually had a nice career off some of the changing regulations.
But overall, I can’t ignore Obama being a fraud Chicago guy. And that to me is one of the worst things you can do to this city.
So Anthony Edwards? Good on you amigo.
You get the highlight treatment.
PS – LOL
