However, I don't feel sorry for anyone but his children, I don't even feel sorry for the wife because she knows he's a pimp and she's willing to stay with him to preserve her status as the first lady of the city.

Race became an issue when Kwame made it an issue. He played the race card here. You are right - it is not because he is black. He wants us to beleive that the only reason this is happening to him is because he is black. No Kwame, it's because you are a shit.

Let's see; your sexually affair cost the city of Detroit almost 9 million dollars, yet it's nobody's business because it is of a personal nature. Hmmm . . . If a man can lie and cheat on his wife and family, he's capable of doing anything!! If you stand before GOD and make a covenant with him to love, honor and obey, yet you can look at your wife and lie to her while you sleep with a whore, then you can lie to your constituents as well. Kwame, you are a weak imitation of what a real man should be!!

Detroit started its decline after the 1967 riots. That is fact. The blacks rioted, and the whites left the city in large numbers..and when the whites leave, the money leaves too. That includes homes, businesses etc. Then Colman Young took office and made shit even worse. C.Y. was the biggest racist mayor that ended up driving the rest of the whites out of the city. Nice Job. Detroit was once one of the greatest cities in America, now its one of the worst. I recently moved out of the city after living there for 30 yrs...I got out,and moved out West. I sold my home for what I could get for it and never looked back. I never wanted too leave, but I couldn't bare to see the city decline further and further into an economic abyss...Detroit is the blackest city in America,and also the worst city to live in...crime,drugs,homelessness(and oh my god, there are soo many bums downtown) and just lack of safe feelings in the streets. Most white people like coming to the city and spending money, but it's discouraging, when you have soo many homeless and other street hustlers trying to hit you up for money at every corner you go to. I seen a white family of 4 go to a Tiger game once. They were minding their own business, not bothering anyone, when they were approached by 2 black men trying to scalp off tickets. Well, turns out, the family already had tickets and wasn't interested. This fucking punk kept bugging the shit out of the family (which,might I add were already scared) to purchase these tickets...then he proceeded to ask them for money for "food" or a "hot dog" (as many of them fucks will say)..well, the man, being afraid for his families' saftey, handed over a buck to the man just to make him go away...all of a sudden, other homeless bastards came out from all over and surrounded the family and bugged them for more money....I felt soo bad for that family..I helped them out by coming by and pretending to be an undercover cop...well, just to let you all know. DON'T GIVE THE HOMELESS PEOPLE SHIT ON THE STREETS OF DETROIT. IT WILL JUST GO TO CRACK. THEY WILL LIE THEIR MUSH FOR BRAINS OFF AND TELL YOU THAT THEY ARE HUNGRY. WELL, OFFER TO BUY THEM FOOD AND SEE WHAT THEY TELL YOU....THEY WILL TELL YOU NO!!!! CAUSE THEY WANT YOUR CASH FOR CRACK OR A HALF PINT OF GARBAGE LIQUOR...I HATE DETROIT...

Steven R, you hit the nail on the head, however, the deterioration began long before the 60s and the issue of blacks inundating the city with hip hop and welfare vouchers...no my friends, this goes back to the late 1700s, when a certain party ordaining themselves with elaborate headware set up a regional office in the heart of the city.
When the WHIG party first started out, they were clearly about the people, for the people and by the people. They summoned the fears of the common man and mixed them with the hopes of the down-trodden to make a potent brew that any man, woman or child could drink. They took the soul of the establishment and gave it legitimacy with a series fo public demonstrations and private endeavors that put this nation on it's heels.
They gave us something to believe in.
Known for staging some of the first sit ins similar to those in the civil rights movement at local taverns too numerous to mention, they rallied for new pony express horses in poor neighborhoods, publicly demanded wagon wheels at a time when wagons were luxuries reserved for the wealthy...demanded fair housing and treatment of siphilus for the poor, as well as lobbied local government for Bo Weevil relief packages for the wilting states of the Confederacy. A young and perhaps niave Crispus Attucks was the president of the Philedelphia chapter, long before he ever even held a musket.
But in the fall of 1789, something happened to that prestigous organization.
Attucks was ousted in a close vote where he was pitted against a young John Wilkes Booth..and from that point on....
well that ogranization went to hell in a handbasket. Simple tasks that seemed like clockwork under Attucks' regime became complicated....for example, Whig night at the Shriner's lodge was a needed and necessary relief for citizens who were already feeling the brunt of a newly introduced "Corn Field" tax that all but crippled most of the state...and yet Booth immediately not only cancelled Whig night, but replaced it abruptly and without advertisment,diverting the resources to a series of "Evenings At The Theatre"...perhaps a troubling sign of things to come.
Under Booth's leadership, many of the social activities the Whigs were known for such as public corn husking, the annual Whig parade through the swamp, as well as the Whig annual Mountie's Ball ( a joint effort with Canada celebrating law enforcement across borders) seemed to all but dissapear...being replaced with more tame events like public effigy construction, the Whig annual adoption drive for displaced kittens, and the often criticized "Burlursque night" at the Louis Pasteur's" summer home.
It was clear that this was a city that was bleeding..
Fast forward almost 2 centuries later and the trail of bread crumbs that lead to Kwame Kilpattrick is disturbing. and inescapable. The man's very house is located at the site of an old Whig brothel. The corruption that Booth brought to the party is as evident today as it was at the cusp of the 18th century. In fact...sometimes when I look at him...I mean really stare into Kilpatrick's face, I actually see Booth...if not in name, at least in philosophy.
I mean, wake up people....
it's not a conincidence that of the 67% of Philedelphia's married population of African Americans who cheat on their wives, 97% of those men live in areas where Whig politics were left to run amuck virtually unpolicied all throughout the 18th century. This city has become a brothel that likes to masquerade as a church. Instead of blaming Kwame and those like Kwame for simply rising to attention when the corpses of these forgotten chickens rise from their graves and roost at our expense as we watch in horror and disbelief; we need to start understanding why Philedelphia is unable to overcome the mindset that continuously puts a man in a position to fail.
Well it didn't start with this mayor, and it certainly won't end here....
America loves to cite the symptom and not the disease. Well if we are ever to grow and turn this hellhole of a ghetto that Philedelphia has been sodomized into beneath the fornication of impotent policies that have left our city cripplped...we must first start by resurrecting the ghosts of our most shameful past and killing them once and for all.
It starts in your mirror my friends....

Mr. Adams is right...the peculiar fabric of WHigism that has been stitched into the multicolored quilt that is America...this oh so perplexing Whig issue has been swept under the rug for too long.
I plan to vote for John Mccain in November, not because he is the better candidate or that he will improve the many economic and socal issues confronting us...but because Obama has aligned himself with 3rd generation Whig sympathizers, time and time again.
It's pretty hard for me to imagine America without Whig influence. It's in every echelon of our culture. It doesn't matter whether I am watching "American Idol," participating in a Civil War re-enactment, visiting the Crispus Attucks Museum, or even buying the latest cd by Missy Elliot, I CANNOT SEEM TO SHIELD MY CHILDREN FROM CONSTANT WHIG PROPAGANDA.
If this country doesn't come out of it's dream state and realize that we are a heart-beat away from a modern day Corn field tax...well then maybe we are all just better off dying in our easy chairs as we fall asleep to the Kwame Kilpatricks of the world singing us the lullaby of lies.

When you live in Detroit for more than just long enough to get drunk at a hockey game, then you get to comment about my mayor's problems. Until then, I wont speak on the mayor of hicktown, and you get of Kwame's nutsack and shut the fuck up. Have a nice next eight years with another one of us in the White House.

How sad - to see comments like those above (Wanda) - The Mayor doesn't CARE about you Detroiters - if he did he would not be in the mess he is right now - So much potential but power going to his head and he ruined what could have been a great thing for the city - Although for the Mayor it's been bred into him by his mother and father - have you seen them in the news lately - the city is in disarray and someone needs to an end the madness - Happy to NOT live in the city and won't visit unitl the mess is cleaned up! If nothing else the MAyor should care about what his childrens legacy will be I'm sad to say they probably won't be much different then the family they have been born to.

Laura Bush chose a career in educating children, (unlike money grubbing Osama Bama's 'ole lady) and has lived an exemplary life. I suppose you admired that old hag Jackie O? Sold to the Kennedy’s by her daddy and then sold herself to the ugliest man on the planet, but oh so rich, Onassis. Why anyone considered her a role model I haven't a clue. Maybe cause she was skinny and wore clothes well? What good thing did she ever do in her life? Kept a stiff upper lip when JFK was murdered? Maybe she just knew how to hide her feelings, her true self, her real reactions as taught by that odd strata of society. Being thin, fake and quiet-ahhahhh-now that is really something. You insult women, humans and the country. Ever seen shallow Hal? Why on earth does it matter what a woman looks like, her dress size or how cloth drapes on her?
