Mayor Richard M Daley

Without stating the countless (impossible to do) things he did to make Chicago what it is today, this man is the main cause of them. Downtown and the inner city have never looked any more worse than during his last three terms as mayor.
Chicago isn’t for Chicagoans anymore, but for morons and retards from other places in the US, as well as criminals. This city was built on immigrants and their populations have growing in the suburbs (except Hispanics) since the white flight years following World War II.
The city has seen much better days. It will interesting to see how much worse Rahm Emmanuel makes Chicago during his reign as mayor. He already has a crappy plan to «rebuild the city for 7.6 billion dollars.» Don’t quote me on the cost, but the point is, Chicago needs more police on the streets, less yuppies, less outsiders, and more of an emphasis on international cultures, religions, food, etc.

Double. Check. Mate.
As Hawk would say. He Gone!!!
Thank Fvck.

You’re gonna miss him once he’s gone.

I saw a report on the news tonight that Da Mare (a/​k/​a Hizzoner or Richie) is planning on hitting the paid speaking circuit once his term is up in May. He could command upwards of $ 25,000 to $ 50,000 per speaking engagement according to the news report.
I’m a bit nonplussed at this news. Perhaps someone can help me out with this one. If I have this right, a man who cannot speak English or even read notes correctly at a lecturn has just signed on to make a sick amount of money to… speak publicly. Do not adjust your set. This is a true fact. Believe it or not.
I would imagine these lectures would go something like this:
«Ay, good morning, ladies and gentlemen, hah you doin’? I’m here ta speak to you about da great city a Chi-​caw-​go. Chi-​caw-​go is a great city where my fadder ran tings fer over twunty years. Da City fler-​ished during dese times. Den, when I took over round abaht tir-​teen years later er there’s abaht, da City fler-​ished even more. I put in some nice lookin’ planters wit flowers in em, I built a park widda shiny bean in it, I set up my buddies (wait, never mind, ah don’t know how dat got in dere?), I got some cash for da Skyway my daddy built out to our place out in Michigan, I hired a bunch a people who knew people or were sent by people we knew to stem da unemployment and I did a meter deal dat netted us a lotta cash. It all worked out great. And da City of Chi-​caw-​go has never been in bedder shape. I am proud a what I did to da City of Chi-​caw-​go. Now, if there aren’t any questions, I’ll take my cee-​ash and get outta here and go to da Sox Park so’s I can enjoy my Sox, some Jay’s potato chips and uh RC. I gave all a dem tax breaks. Thank you very much, pee-​al.»
Don’t even try to make sense of it. Just bite your lip, pay your taxes and await the crowning of the next thief — yet another shrimp who’s full of guff.

Millennium Park is a joke. Please leave a legacy worth leaving and fix the CTA. The Olympics isn’t going to sound exciting to the international community if Chicagoans can’t even get around without their own private limo (like yours). I lived here 11 years and left because of YOU!

I want my fucking tax money back, asshole! I know you’re not doing anything with it, except maybe using it to wipe your big flabby ass.

I wish there was an option for zero stars. He is an old, washed up, wanna-​be crime boss, half-​assed thug. The alcoholic and mentally unstable part doesn’t even bother me. It’s the downright lack of respect for the Chicago tax payers, who actually elect him into office term after term, that really makes me want to throw up right here on this very review.
He has to be the worst mayor ever.

Is there anything you have privatized or taxed yet?
No?
Good job.

DICK DAILEY:
take from the poor and give to the rich! until you go live on the south side and ride a bus to work, i will always resent you. all i want for christmas is.. .. . term limits

I’m going to play it safe on this one.
Don’t be surprised when you guys don’t get your streets plowed this winter. DO NOT CROSS THE BOSS!
Richie Daley for Mayor: Because c’mon, everyone else is corrupt and incompetent too.

I can’t tell you how much it warms my cockles to see my undying hatred of our megalomaniacial mayor shared by so many others. I can only hope this means he will not be re-​elected.
As long as we’re listing the mayor’s many screw-​ups, failures, dirty deals, etc. I’d like to remind everyone about our «Green Mayor“‘s woeful blue bag «recycling» program as well as how he paved our beautiful lakefront.
He’s pretty much taken everything that’s good about Chicago and flushed it down the toilet. I spit on Daley plaza every time I have to set foot on it.

The Teflon Mayor is as corrupt as his old man was. All his buddies get rich, no bid contracts on everything, selling off Chicago assets for nothing (i.e. LAZ Parking deal) and money is wasted left and right (streets being re-​paved every friggin year). What is going on? Who keeps voting for this man? Oh wait, it’s Chicago, if you need the votes just figure out how many and make sure you ask the correct Alderman.
Hopefully my street doesn’t get torn up like Meigs field…

It’s like an avalanche of Daley hate. It’s OK, I’ll play with Jim D. and say, Mr. D is pretty darn cool with me.
Now, I need to hide this review from the hubby. He’s with the 99% opposed to Daley politics.

How proud King Richie must be to be squeezing business owners in outlaying business districts by privatizing meters, and raising meter rates to $ 1 an hour! Not to mention, how hypocritical his sound bites are to the media, and all the back-​handed deals he has allowed through his mayoral reign, such as the upcoming installation of parking meters throughout the lakefront parks. Not to mention, why aren’t you taking more advantage of the revenue from the Skyway, airport, and Grant Park parking garage leases (if they really are supposed to help the city that much? NOT!) towards city departments and programs that need the money? I don’t blame mayors in other cities for resisting privatizing the assets of their cities. (i.e. airports, parking garages, etc.)
Also, thanks for forcing a great friend of mine out of her library job. I never blame people who’d rather open a business in the suburbs, or even outside of Cook County, due to how much both you and Stroger (both Toddler and John) overtax city and county residents to death. You don’t even deserve 1 star, even for being a White Sox fan. Hopefully after the IOC doesn’t give Chicago the 2016 games in October, all city and county residents will wake up, and use the next primary election to give Daley and Toddler the boot they badly deserve!

I didn’t realize we can review the Mayor on Unilocal until I saw Fernando C. newly created review. Ah, well interesting this arrises now, I had an interesting encounter with a 66 year old Vietnam Vet on the train the other day, he was babbling about how the Daley Régime is over and that a nice Hispanic alderman will replace him. Well not sure how accurate his prediction may be, but if Daley’s approval rating weren’t sliding before, they sure as hell plummeted over this goofy meter mess.
Is it just me or does he get a bit more loonier as each year passes? I first noticed his lunacy when he destroyed Meigs field inthe middle of the night, ever since… I don’t know… I guess we can thank him for the lovely flower pots we have all over the darn city, but jeez, these meters is what will do him in. I don’t complain much about parking in the city cause, after all it’s a city, but I have been griping about these darn meters… eating my coins when they don’t work, or 25 cents for every 15 minutes, even on the west side of Pilsen… c’mon dude, I’m trying to visit grandma here and you’re not only charging me a quarter for every 15 minutes, but you’re giving me a 2 hour limit… get the f*** out!
Hate these goofy meters!!! ergh!

There is only one thing that will make blood shoot out of my ears: mention the name Richard M. Daley. What a pompous, blubbering waste of space! Never has one man ruined a whole city. To list this guy’s crimes against Chicago would probably take hours.
Disagree with him? He huffs and puffs and the Media bows down to His Highness.
Among his accomplishments: He put a rat to run the CPD (Jody Weis, you asshat!) You wanted to clean up the corruption, Richie? No, you wanted a «yes» man who will take every opportunity to screw over the same people who serve, protect and sometimes die for this once great city. And then you huff when they want a contract and say they’re «greedy.» No, it’s only to cover the asinine cost of living since all city employees are forced to live here.
Everything that isn’t nailed down (oh there’s Richie pulling out the nails), he has put up on the block to the highest bidder.
And do I even mention that you refuse to have law abiding citizens own a handgun? Oh God forbid! But you can bet your ass that Daley doesn’t go anywhere without an armed security force.
Congrats, you’ve proven to be just as corrupt as your father.
This guy is why Chicago needs term limits for its politicians.

Dear hopefully soon to be arrested for heinous crimes against humanity Daley,
Once upon a time, I was a young and impressionable person. I believed that you cared about Chicago. GOD! What a difference a few years can make.
Now I know the truth! You care, you really do! About yourself, your friends and your family– you care greatly. You are amazing in your care for them! Your nephew and his deals with the pension fund, the meter debacle, millennium park, Meigs field, etc. I could go on for days– but have no need to do so.
The topper in this horrific list is of course– the Olympic bid– and then GUARANTEE of funding. Remember– the city was not going to have to pay for it right? Oh yeah– you forgot your promises about that too! Certainly these are more important than the people who are already employed by the city– ??? Nope. Teachers, police, etc. ARE NECESSARY! The fact that we are in a huge budget shortfall (450 mil) already seems to mean nothing to you.
I cannot wait for the next election. I do not care if a teletubby runs against you. I will vote for them– as I am sure they will be equipped with more ethics, sense, and a better idea of who they work for (the citizens– REMEMBER???) than you!
Until then– I wait with the fervent hope that you are arrested soon. We know the Feds are circling. I hope they tighten the noose! Greedy Bastard.

If you were a place of buisness I would light you on fire and dance over your cooling ashes. I would gladly take the 5 – 10 year prison stretch.
Yea, you are a pioneer alright. Every day you set new standards on what it is to be a huge jagoff. I don’t think there is a more arrogant asshole in all of the land.
The word douchebag was invented for guys like you. One day people will wake up and vote your arrogant ass out of office. I will send balloons and flowers. :)
Nice picture by the way, you look really happy to be there.

A new opportunity to rate Mayor Daley? Yahoo!
A+++

Mayor Daley, you are making me cry. No, really. You know those people that are all like «Mayor Daley For Life?» Your slavering and adoring fans? Yeah, I used to be one of them. I positively lurved you when you first got elected. Not so much anymore, Your Honor.
The patronage, the Hired Trucks scandal, those I could deal with. Whatevs, this is Chicago, after all. No surprises there. That being said, your blind obsession with bringing the Olympics to Chicago while we have a budget crisis and potholes large enough to turn into swimming pools has me pretty steamed. Oh yeah, and the parking meter thing? WHAT were you thinking? No, seriously, I want to know. It’s INSANE. While I’m at it, thanks a bunch for selling Midway too. Super terrific.
Speaking of parking, how ’bout them ticket cameras that are liberally peppering our intersections? When was the last time you got stuck in the middle of an intersection attempting to turn left and got a ticket? Oh, yeah, that would be NEVER. You have a driver and the city eats your tickets. How very awesome for you. No matter how hard your citizens try, they are going to get screwed one way or another. Congratulations, you just made it prohibitively expensive for the average citizen to own a car in Chicago.
Let’s not forget, you’re the one that foisted Todd Stroger on us. That alone is reason to dislike you. Do you know the hell I’ve taken from everyone I know, Dems and Republicans alike for my continued support of you? Those days are over, my friend.
One star for being a Sox fan, the great work you’ve done on the parks and your entertaining way of addressing the media at press conferences — I love watching you get all pink and flustered. A big bonus star for your midnight razing of Meigs Field, I’m still snickering at how you turned the Homeland Security Law against the GOP.
Ya know how if you get elected again, you would surpass your father as the longest serving Mayor in Chicago? I wouldn’t start planning that party yet. Epic Fail, Mayor Daley. Epic.
