"That’s right: we’ve entered the “he’s a Chicago politician” phase of the race to the White House. It’s not like Obama isn’t wide open to this kind of assault — he lived and worked for many years in Chicago, where many a dead man has cast a ballot and many a palm has been greased.
The Windy City has been plaguing Obama since he first ran for president, when his opponents on both sides tried to make a shady real estate developer named Tony Rezko into a thing. So it was inevitable that we’d get to this point. It may have come a little earlier than expected, but of course at some point Mitt Romney would accuse Obama of “Chicago-style” politics.
And, like sun rise follows sun set, Romney lobbed the charge at Obama Wednesday after the appointment of Richard Cordray to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “This action represents Chicago-style politics at its worst and is precisely what then-Senator Obama claimed would be ‘the wrong thing to do,” Romney said in a statement after Obama’s high-profile recess appointment. Thursday morning in New Hampshire, Romney kept it up, attacking Obama for his “crony capitalism,” which blends nicely with the “he’s from Chicago, be afraid” messaging."
