*******************
There is a 3,000-lb. granite monument that has been placed in a shopping center in Barack Obama’s hometown of Chicago to commemorate a certain act of his.
You will be forgiven if you cannot immediately recall any noteworthy accomplishments in this man’s life. Sometimes we choose to forget the things that most pain us.
You might have forgotten, for instance, that there is an effective unemployment rate in this country of around 14 percent. (Of course, our officially recorded unemployment rate is 8.3 percent, and it has been that way for a record 43 months.) It is a bitter pill, but it is real and it must not be forgotten. Is this the accomplishment of Obama’s that the Chicago shopping center chose to memorialize? No. But that is understandable, given Illinois’s painful unemployment rate of 8.9 percent.

Inquiring minds want to know - who paid for this?
