Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps! Don't have any boots? Well then fuck you. Why don't you head down to Roseland and do some clean-up you pedantic creep? "Garbage in the garbage can". Yeah, that'll solve the complete lack of economic oppurtunity, failed city services (hard to get to work when your streets haven't been plowed and the buses don't run and the train lines aren't near by) and generational poverty. Yeah, but just pick up the litter and teach your kids to be good. How do you not kill yourself shaving in the morning?

Newsflash Roselandians: The President of the United States is not responsible for neighborhood specific issues like this. Contact your ever efficient city/county government for assistance. Or, instead of demanding the government fix your neighborhood, use the time you are complaining to enhance your neighborhood yourselves. This involves things like simple maintenance of your residence (garbage in garbage can), teaching the importance of education to your children, working hard at your job or at least working hard to try and find one, and setting an example for others by not committing violent crimes. These simple, nearly free things can help reduce a culture of dependency and make Roseland a better place to live.

City streets are Obama's problem eh? I wonder if all these folks voted for Daley?

Dear President Obama, In your first 100 days you have done so much, but there are still many thing you have failed to address. -I do not know which flat stomach rule to "OBEY" -American Idol is still on the air while Pushing Daisies has been canceled. -I did not have enough for a combo meal on friday after lunch. I had to skip the diet coke and drink tap water. TAP WATER sir! -My laundrymat has gone from a "1 quarter for 12 minutes" dry to a "1 quarter for 10 minutes" dry. This is simply outrageous. -Health Care. Please see to these in the next hundred days. And get another puppy please. Love, Jess Nevins AMERICAN
