Why do politicians still act as thou we’re still listening to them and seeing them from a crowd hundreds of feet away? This silly pose is cringy, obsolete and forced.

“Don’t shoot” … that reminds me …. What I really want to know is did the governor spend our scarce tax dollars in a state police security detail for his travels to Boston?
“It is not my place to comment on every cartoon or picture that comes from people outside the governor’s office or to tell people how they should feel.
“I urge everyone to put this picture behind us so we can focus on solving the very real challenges of education fairness and economic opportunity facing our state.”
“You thought Republicans sold out fast to Rauner’s money?
With my money the Democrat party will be replaced by the Pritzkercrat Party before my petitions are due!”
Governor Rauner: Rep. Stratton, Secretary White, and JB Pritzker join in forming a large celebratory M in tribute to the man who controls them all — Mike Madigan.
