Oh will you look at this Mayor now. With his Olympic fetish up in flames, he now wants to act like the Mayor. Well Captain too little, too late, I have a news-flash for you. This should have been priority number one from the beginning.

Just look at the number of kids slain, or brutally beaten this year alone. Where were you when that child was slain on the bus? Where were you when all the others, (honor roll, athletically-gifted, and college-bound alike), were being shot, just for sitting outside on their porch? Where were you when the murder rate began to surpass last years mark? I know where you were. You hid. You wanted those Olympic so bad, nothing else mattered.

Now, all of a sudden, you want to put on your Captain Mayor uniform, and demand for more police. You didn't bother to listen to your Education Chief, and your Police Superintendent, when they probably told you to hire more police when they saw these rising crime rates. You blew them off so you could scheme and possibly scam your way to Olympic revenue. So tell us Captain Mayor, what did you do with your portion of the "Stimulus Money"? You certainly didn't spend it on more police.

Oh Captain too little, too late, what will you posture for now, since you have the attention of the White House? Will your new plea ensure enough police for the city, or just a portion? And by the way, just who is the Deputy Mayor in your absence? One would think that person would be all over the news when that child was beaten to death, putting the hammer down on gang-bangers, and drug dealers. But did we see your "Next-In-Command" while you were off in Copenhagen? No. Will Chicago have to undergo another Harold Washington episode in the event of your falling ill, or heaven forbid, passing while in office? I would truly hope not.

So how about showing off the Deputy Mayor from time to time? This way, we will know who exactly we need to direct our frustrations on when you feel the urge to jet-off in the near future. Maybe then, we shouldn't have to wait for you to come home, just to ask for more police.
