Lets see if this works:
 

Makes my point better than I thought:

Looks like he picked the wrong mayor to side with. At least McCains mayor isn`t headed for the slammer for the next 6 mo.:rolleyes:

I ain't touching this one with a 10 ' pole. We'd have another flame topic going on.

Most know my viewpoints so there is no reason for a post.

I spent a lot of my life in detroit i dont like obama but we cant lay this at his feet.
He did it all on his own.

Don't forget the basics
 

Obama was looking forward to a "lengthy collaboration". Kind of hard when the ex-mayor is in jail.

Detroit is a poop hole. Kind of reminds me about Washington, DC a decade or so ago. Mayor Marion Barry got busted for drug possession while I believe he was with a hooker, and the citizens of the city re-elected him for office, or at least for a seat in the legislature. Pretty soon, the convicts and the illegals will be running this nation. It is insane.

There has been lots of growth in the down town area outer areas are the dumps now it is sad i grew up there.
The 80s were hard on it and it has never recovered the crack heads are every were as are the crack whores.
Heroin has moved right in.

I "Grew-up" in Detroit, in the late 60's - early 70's.....My grand parents helped build the city. My Mom's Mom, was an organist at one of the Churches....She played 5-6 masses a day, 5 days a week, and 3 each day on the weekends.....For 41 years!

Detroit is "Lost".
I have been all around this country, and I've seen the slums in several 2nd - 3rd world countries. NOTHING compares to the "Hoods" of Detroit.

I know many L.E.O.s (Law Enforcement Officers) both(out of state) federal, and some local......Many times I've taken them on a "Tour" of my old stomping grounds......Most of them wouldn't take the "Tour" with me again.

It's a shame. So much history, so many important things.....wonderful things, happened there.

Now it is just a deserted war zone. Many things are gone, or just about gone.

Sad. :mad:
