I have studied Chicago history all of my life and there are many myths repeated here again. Sure Big Bill Thompson was backed by saloon keepers but so was Cermak. Big Bill was a so-called "Republican" who took his orders from First Ward Democratic bosses Bathhouse John Couglin and Alderman Hinky Dink Kenna. What is Obama doing in this video? Obama is not a native Chicagoan. He moved here in 1984 but was raised in Hawaii and Indonesia.
