Obama: Is the Chicago way the American way?

Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones had courage and conviction in her beliefs and fought for them til her death.

It is a sad day in American when she was threatened before her death because of one - her belief in Hillary Clinton. She took the Obama threats very seriously and even increased her security.

According to Susan Estrich:

“It should not have taken courage for Stephanie to support Hillary. She knew her and respected her. But it did, more than most people realize. During the campaign, I heard from friends that Tubbs Jones and Sheila Jackson-Lee, another prominent African-American Hillary supporter, were being attacked, viciously, within the black community for not supporting Barack Obama, that there was talk of their being "traitors," of primary opponents, personal threats serious enough to require additional security. I would have written about it, but my friends asked me not to, fearing it would only make people angrier and lead to more threats.”

It is appalling that her unfortunate death took place under threats from Obama or his surrogates.

As disgracefully as the physical threats upon her by Obama surrogates were - she was not alone.

Congresswoman Diane Watson (D-CA) was also threatened. I am sure there were a lot more.

In fact, more generally threats were made in a very public manner.

Donna Brazille threaten to leave the Democratic party, Al Sharpton threatened marches, Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-CS) threatened "irreparable harm" to the Democratic Party, Color of Change - boasting 400,00 members made threats. All these threats were made to assure Obama got the Democratic Party nomination.

Obama said nothing. Indeed, he relished in them. They were the hardball way he learned so well.

Obama supported, ratified, condoned, approved and/or inspire all these threats to get his way and nothing be said.

Others have had their lives threatened, to be publically embarrassed, and other acts of threat and intimidation.

Is the Chicago way - thug politics going to make its way to the White House?

There should be an investigation as to how extensive the threats were. We cannot let the America way become the Chicago way
