    so what?

    I'm not so fond of some of the stuff King Richie II has pulled here, but you can't deny that the streets are cleaner, he's fixing the CTA (about time), and has gone on a beautification rampage that has undoubtedly made the place nicer.

    Yeah, and Hitler built the autobahn and Mussolini made the trains run on time.

    And sorry, but all the questions about Obama's "purchase" of a house he couldn't afford with the help of a convicted felon have not been answered.
