in just two short sentences, you've pretty much summed up the big-talkin' little man, jesse junior. brilliant.
Jessie Jr has never accomplished anything (anyone catch a flight out of peotone lately) and he must be happy being a congressman because he always considers running for higher office but then backs away. I had higher hopes for him when he used to be concerned with education and jobs. Although I do agree with him the tax plans of Daley and Stroger are destroying this region Jessie Jr. has never stepped out and challanged the machine.
