Hispanics in Chicago= 1.5 million
Blacks in Chicago= 1.2 million

Basically, what this means is that most of the Hispanics inIllinois
live in Chicago ( Cook County ), while 64% of the Blacks of the State live in Chicago ( Cook County) with the remainder of Blacks dispersed throughout the State.

Ehmm, yes... and?

Obama Warns of Gas Guzzling Cars in Town Hall Meeting

Illinois Senator Barack Obama warns citizens at his 50th Town Hall meeting about gas guzzling, WPSD-TV reports.

It was among many points made to the standing room only audience at the Metropolis Community Center. Obama spoke on everything from DC politics to global warming.

He says part of the blame for the world's higher temperatures rests on gas guzzling vehicles. Obama says consumers can make the difference by switching to higher mileage hybrids.

Today the Senator said, "It would save more energy, do more for the environment and create better world security than all the drilling we could do in Alaska."

"After the meeting... Obama left in a GMC Envoy after admitting to favoring SUV's himself," claimed local News Channel 6.

Tommy Vietor, Senator Obama's press secretary, explains: "What Senator Obama has long advocated is the use of vehicles that are more fuel efficient, including but not exclusively hybrids.

"The vehicle senator obama travels in while in illinois is a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV), which can run on e85, a blended fuel made of 85 percent ethanol.

"So he in fact was practicing what he preached at the town hall meeting in Metropolis yesterday when he said we must drive fewer gas-guzzling vehicles."

But it does not appear that GMC's Envoy is E85 ready.

Developing...

We still need to know why Obama has 3-4 locks on his home in "safe" Hyde Park.

That's not all you need to know.

I wouldn't vote for him, now or in the future.

He'll be devastated.

But, why does he have an Hispanic nanny for his kids and not black woman?

A bit of "do as I say, not as I do," from Obama:

Let me take a guess.....because she was the best person available for the job?

Really though, Soz - sorry about the crap that has deluged this thread. I predict though that the good sense that made this thread so engaging will rise again, and the loonies will recede after awhile.
