So "YOUR" Icon Salt Lake City mayor leader Ralph Becker, was one of 16
mayors who met with President-select (where's his business card yet?), Mr.
Barack H. Obama, in mob country of the midwest, in Chicago, to discuss?, the
socialist / socialist utopian planned White House Office of Urban Policy?, as in
Hitler style?, and a union in every business in Utah, with Obamacon's
transition team, while he's in the deep blue waters on an Island?. If
that's how your mayor does business, I would fire him fast. "Behind
closed door's"?. Or is it Obamacon wants to add another million
cop's to the payroll, for when the riots start up soon there, because Utah
also went into a 1929 Depression for the next 14 years to. Oh yes, all on the
tax pater's of Utah, off of their property taxes to. Think about that the
next time he goes alone to Chicago, the place where the new white house will be
buily at, when the old one gets tore-down to build condo's there, to house
the homeless.

Bro Chuck your 100% right here.
Here's my question's. Oh dear, before your Utah in name only icon, Salt Lake City mayor, met with Obama's transition team in Chicago, did he first get the ok to do so from Utah's secret society of 90 men there in Utah along with President Thomas S. Monson, as well?.

What does Obama know and when did he know it?

If this was Rocky the flying squirrel, we would be in big trouble, and signed up
for who knows what Chicago mob madness.
However, Becker is actually a fairly reasonable and perceptive guy (for a liberal Democrat) and hopefully made good input to the meeting and was smart enough to not sign up for any of the wacky big city solutions they may try to sell.
Look at any city larger than Salt Lake and ask if you would want THEIR taxes, crime, infrastructure, gang problems, illegal immigration problems, political intrigues, debt, or intrusion into personal liberties instead of Salt Lake's?
Instead, we should see what those cities have been doing and do the exact opposite. (Electing a Republican mayor instead of a Democrat would be a good first step!)

Great plan. Cities need to be looked at, and fixing is possible. Obama has the
experience, energy to do it. This means a better future.

Obama's community organizing experience
will prove to be an invaluable asset in these troubled times. Mayor Becker is wise to listen to Obama's sage counsel and implement any suggestions that Obama may have to offer the residents and local government of Salt Lake City.

Becker isn't a Mormon. So why would he need to get Monson's okay. It seems to me that everytime there is a Utah related article involving a politician it is assumed that he is a Mormon but in this case you are wrong and if there was a secret society I doubt very much it would remain secret for long if people needed their "ok" to meet with the President-elect.

Listening to Obama's "wise" counsel is foolish. Obama was
trained in "community organizing" by the Chicago style politics which
is totally opposite of SLC's. Do we really want to get as bad a Chicago
only to try to find out what works?
Hmmpfhh... Obama's Wise Counsel is truly an oxymoron.

We know Obama was trained in "community organizing" by the Chicago
style politics - so here is what he can do for Utah, round-up "ALL
black's in America, all Muslim's to, all illegals as well", move
them all, over to Utah, start up a new Utah socialist utopian State, pay the
people of Utah a high paying job of taking care of them all, beit a desk job
or/and another job, take them all under your wing per se, then make sure when
your Utah in name only icon, Salt Lake City mayor, that met with Obama's
transition team in Chicago, when he first gets back to get the ok to do so from
Utah's secret society of 90 men there in Utah along with President Thomas
S. Monson, as well. Problem fixed!. Thanks Utah.

Brother Chuck Schroeder -
How considerate of you to involve yourself in the issues of mundane Utah - are there a dearth of local issues for your Floridian taste? Your incoherent ramblings on the national scale are difficult to follow, at best; you would do well to keep your nose out of this western state, even by local standards, you're in way over your head.

Hey Murray Dad, talk about your other icon, don't forget to also BLAME
Obama's daddy to of genocide and crimes against humanity for masterminding
the killings of more than half a million people, he's just as guilty. Let
Bro Chuck alone, he's 100% right always. Now jump back into your
"liberal think tank", and re-think yourself.
