He flew into the Capitol airport in Springfield IL. A six or seven mile stretch of Veterans highway was closed off for his motorcade. Many people were trapped at their work place for at least 40min as traffic was ground to a halt. He proceeded to the Crown Plaza Hotel on Dirkson and gave a quick speech honoring Lincolns birthday and then he was gone.
It is reported that he then flew to Chicago for a few days of R&R & shopping for the Missus & the daughter....
This is where he is most comfortable, back amidst the company of his cohorts ranging from Rod Blago, Daley, Emil Jones, and the like.(read corrupt machine)
Do you suppose that Obama & Daley can run the country from Chicago?...I think that they would like that. I don't think that Obama would be with us today if they would have busted Rod Blago back in Oct when they knew about his misdeed's...I dont know who was powerful enough to delay Blago's federal arrest but it did happen.
