Seriously Black Panther Bobby Rush. Like voting for crack head Marian Berry for Mayor. Or, waiting to die in a coma John Stroger for Cook County President! Now it's, I'm going to jail real soon Jesse Jackson Jr who hasn't been on the job for a year but still wants the pay check. Really? Thank you DEMOCRATS. The sewer you are is truely deserved. Patronage to maintain this. Vote for anyone but the Democrats.

Has Bobby Rush ever set foot in Orland Park? I'd bet he doesn't even know where it is.
