Obama didn't fix Illinois' corruption

The biggest joke in this political campaign is Barack Obama clamoring for change.

There is corruption in the state of Illinois government. Obama did nothing to curtail it when he was in the Illinois Senate.

There is corruption in the governments of the city of Chicago and Cook County. Obama lives there, but was silent on the subject.

As William Shakespeare once noted: "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." Well, Mr. Shakespeare, there are many things in the state of Illinois that are rotten and need changing.

I am convinced it was Tony Rezko who persuaded Obama to hold his nose and look the other way.
