While in Chicgo, Obama was interested in “community organizing”. In other words, he wanted organized grievances. He was in the business of demanding services from the government.

I have not heard a single word from Obama about his stance on fighting crime. His issues listed on his web site does not have a “crime” category. It has an “Urban Policy” category which speaks of preventing terrorism. Maybe he has something there, but it is not obvious where to find it.

In contrast, John McCain has a issues category dedicated to fighting crime and what he feels in the federal governments role in supporting law local law enforcement.

Here is a stunning statistic from Obama’s adopted home town: Chicago has had 426 murders this year (LINK). That is about the same number as deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan combined (LINK).  Obama is silent on an issue that is killing thousands of young men every year.
