So says Chris Matthews and the MSNBC crew.

Well….

Barack Obama worked in Chicago after college. Obama went back to Chicago after law school. Obama was an adjunct instructor at the University of Chicago. Barack Obama represented an area of Chicago in the Illinois state Senate. Obama owns a house in Chicago. Obama’s wife worked in Chicago. Obama went to church in Chicago. Obama probably even liked the rock band Chicago.

But does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care? About time?

I bet if Obama spends Saturday in the park, he will do it in Chicago.

It may not be racist, but it certainly is descriptive:

"God, what a Chicago Obama is. "

"Better be careful what you say, you might get Chicagoed."

"You got that house for half its value? Who do YOU know in Chicago?"

"Hey! Guess what! I just got Chicagoed into a 400K a year job because my spouse got elected to the senate! And I don't have to do anything!"

"when you spread the Chicago around, it's better for everyone"

GOPers need to realize that mass immigration, limited government, a strong defense, etc. are all manifestations of liberal White hate.

The popular and political culture will not be happy until the USA is completely non-White. That's the goal. Wake up neocons!

Crassus| 8.30.12 @ 5:16PM

NEOCON! NEOCON! NEOCON!

Is that all you have, Chris? Calling those you hate names?

When the best argument you have is "My guy's not actually trying to torpedo the economy, he just doesn't know what he's doing" .... you really, really, REALLY need to shut up and get out of the way.

MSNBC hosts are nothing more than rabid dogs and the leader of their pack is Obama. When Romney is elected he needs to hire seasoned staff like Sununu who will deliver reality and binkies to these barking b##tards.

Paul McGrath| 8.30.12 @ 5:59PM

Sununu would make a superb White House spokesman.

they're more like chihuauhuas with distemper

By the way, for what it's worth, Obama Chicago Obama Chicago Obama Chicago Obama Chicago. And Obama Indonesia as well.

You forgot Kenya, Quin. As in:

"For the last four years, the United States has been Kenya'd."

I never thought "Chicago" was a synonym for "black", I always thought it was a synonym for "crooked" and has been since the days of Bill Thompson. Remember Mike Royko's great quote in his book about Richard Daley, that the seal of the city of Chicago ought to show an outstretched hand, palm up, over the motto "Ubi Est Mea?", which is Latin for "Where's mine? ".

JimH| 8.31.12 @ 8:35AM

Not sure of the grammer, but would Ego Got Mea be a better fit for this pack of crooks?

Oldefarte| 8.31.12 @ 10:16AM

OMG quoting Chris Matthews? I just excremented in my pants seat. JFC doesn't anyone have a brain? This POS insulted Priebus on national TV and SHOULD BE FIRED BY MSNBC for doing thus!!!!!!!!!!!

Thunderbottom| 8.31.12 @ 11:54AM

Don't know where Chris "Whiter 'n' White" Matthews has been but Chicago has had this reputation as a rough, crooked city going back to the days of Al Capone, Jake "Greasy Thumb" Guzik, Al Nitti, and Paddy Bauler - all white, it should be noted. Chicago politicians like Richard J. Daley and "Fast Eddie" Vrdolyak (white guys) practiced politics as a contact sport. The city was where one-time governor and current inmate (and white guy), Rod Blagojevich, got his start.
