John Hinderaker slices and dices Obama’s claim to be a reformer who has worked against his own party by taking a close look at the claims made by Obama’s handler David Axelrod this past weekend.

Obama has never stood against his own party, and has never done anything to oppose much less clean up the Cook County/Daley machine.

Listening to Obama preach on the need to clean up politics is like attending a FEMA seminar on hurricane preparedness led by Kathleen Blanco and Ray Nagin.
