  1. Actions speak louder than words.

    Like giving Duckworth a ride while leaving Davis and LaHood on the tarmac.

  2. My God! Springfield is a disaster! Now the Statehouse is suffering the same fate as the Poseidon! We quite literally have gone upside down in this state!

  3. Looks like Rich accidentally turned the Capitol upside down.

  4. I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most inspiring speeches of Obama’s presidency.

    Illinois’ favorite son comes home.

  5. “This could have been a mistake”

    Of course it was a mistake…however this has only happened twice in your lifetime and 4 times in the history of the state, so keep that in mind when you are being incredibly inconvenienced.

  6. I’m a little skeptical about the President’s motives here. But the message he gave at the SOTU - one he admitted he hasn’t done well - is a good one. We need to get past the idea that those who disagree with us politically are morons, and/or evil. It is very hard to find middle ground when starting with such beliefs. Hopefully his message is to work it out together, rather than pushing one side’s agenda. We’ll see shortly.

  7. Hey - that’s the first time I’ve seen Pearson and Rich Miller in the same pic at the same time!

  9. Best quote ever:

    “We didn’t call each other idiots, fascists or people trying to ruin America because then we would have to explain why we were playing poker with idiots, fascists or people that are trying to ruin America”

  10. He keeps dropping his ==g’s== just like Rauner.

  11. –This was wild. Dunkin initially said “oh yeah,” then Obama said “we’ll talk later,” Dems stood, laughed, clapped.–

    I wasn’t tuned in. Anyone know what this was about?

  12. Word,Obama said that if a member of one party works with someone from the other party, it doesn’t make them a sellout. Or something to that effect. Dunkin loudly agreed, and that’s when Obama said “Dunkin, we’ll talk later.”

  13. I love that he has his arm around Radogno in the picture

  14. The letter G is very sad today, after being dropped first by Rauner, and now by Obama.

    Comment by IllinoisBoi Wednesday, Feb 10, 16 @ 3:23 pm

  15. Love the Radogno pic. Where has that Radogno been? And how to we keep the one in the pic and not have the Social services “shake up” Radogno come back?
