"Obama comes from this group."

What group? Did it escape your attention that including the current Governor, if he is convicted, four of the last seven Illinois Governors dating back to 1968 will have been convicted and served time. Another, dating back to 1953 was tried but acquitted of tax evasion. They came from both political parties and called different parts of the State home. If convicted, the current Governor, a Democrat from Chicago, will join his predecessor, a Republican from Joliet, in federal prison.

The "group" you're referring to certainly doesn't appear to be political party-specific. Nor does it seem to be people from a particular city or region of Illinois. Maybe you're suggesting that all Chicagoans...or all Illinoisans are crooks and aren't to be trusted. No it couldn't be that because you'd be including yourself in a distasteful group, you being from Central Illinois.

Gee, if you're grasping for a reason not to like or support our new President, I'm sure you can come up with stronger justifications than that. In fact, you don't even need a justification. Just say that you dislike and distrust our new President, regardless of what he does and how he conducts himself. That's certainly OK. The U.S. is a free country.

Just don't bother the rest of us with such nonsensical statements.
