The disclosure this past few days of how politics is conducted in Chicago has given the world a completely different view on the proposed incoming administration of Barack Obama. The corrupt political machine, from which has arisen the apparent clean President-elect who we all applauded just a few weeks past, has now been exposed to be a money-grubbing, foul-mouthed, rapacious, arrogant, self-serving, corrupt coterie of a powerful group of men who will stop at nothing to achieve their aims of power and property at the expense of the electorate.  That this is the group behind the new president should fill the world with horror.   The Bush administration was bad enough - but this one looks to be even worse.   God help America and God help the world.
