As Bob Hope and Bing Crosby observed in “The Road To Bali”:
“He gets his shirts straight from Paris Cigarettes from the Nile
He talks like a highbrow But he plays Chicago style…”
I’ve no idea where President Barack Obama gets his shirts and smokes, but he certainly talks like a highbrow, sufficiently so to persuade presidential historian Michael Beschloss to pronounce him the day after the 2008 election “the smartest president ever.” Yet, in the end, he plays Chicago style. You can take the community organizer out of Chicago, but you can’t take the Chicago out of the community organizer. Or as the Agence France-Presse headline put it, “Combative Obama Warns Supreme Court On Health Law.”
