One of the most powerful and influential of America's big-city mayors, Richard M. Daley won election to a to sixth term in February 2007, swamping two opponents with more than 70 percent of the vote. First elected in 1989, Daley will be the longest-serving mayor in Chicago history if he completes the new term, eclipsing the record set by his father, mentor and role model, the late Mayor Richard J. Daley.
A former state legislator and Cook County state's attorney, Daley has built a multiethnic, multiracial coalition that has kept him in power, even as the strength and influence of the once legendary county Democratic machine has waned. Daley has worked to revamp and improve the city's public school system, overhauled public housing and invested heavily in the city's infrastructure in projects ranging from Millennium Park to the expansion of O'Hare International Airport. He also has launched a beautification effort that has included wrought-iron fencing on public properties and installation of planters, trees and landscaping citywide. As part of his strategy to promote Chicago as a global city, he is seeking to host the 2016 Olympic Games. Daley's time at the helm also has been marked by federal investigations that have uncovered contracting irregularities and what prosecutors have called "massive fraud" in hiring and promotions designed to reward political loyalists. A top aide was sentenced to prison in the personnel scheme, and the probe continues. Chicago Tribune

Operation pull a trigger, kill a nigger. You are so right. We need to leave politics alone because their DNA has programmed them to be evil. We need to call on Yahwah. We tried everything else and nothing worked.
