I like the housing Asbestos removal project he had something to do with and it is not finished as I have read. How could he follow through as a President if he cannot complete a task like that. One he took all the credit for and so on.
Obama's "Dreams from My Father" left out credit for asbestos campaign
"You think it's in our apartments?" a worried mother asked. "I don't know," Obama replied. "But we can find out."
What followed, Obama says in a memoir, was a life-altering experience, an early taste of his ability to motivate the powerless and work the levers of government.
As the 24-year-old mentor to public housing residents, Obama says he initiated and led efforts that thrust Altgeld's asbestos problem into the headlines, pushing city officials to call hearings and a reluctant housing authority to start a cleanup.
But others tell the story much differently.
They say Obama did not play the singular role in the asbestos episode that he portrays in the best-selling memoir "Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance."
Credit for pushing officials to deal with the cancer-causing substance, according to interviews and news accounts from that period, also goes to a well-known preexisting group at Altgeld Gardens and to a local newspaper called the Chicago Reporter.
I am i actually liked him till he won the nomination than he started to act like our other politicians of this state changing his mind left and right i see another George Ryan or the current gov or the other thousand corrupt politicians we have in the the making and people of this great state should start seeing it and make a wise choice of not voting for him. Or do what i am and voting green or not voting at all.

"McCain is viewed favorably by 77% of Illinois Primary Voters while Romney earns positive reviews from 71%. The men earn generally equal ratings from those who supported Giuliani in the poll. Just 54% of voters in the state are confident they will stick with their current choice when Election Day finally arrives."
