Iowa 5th District Congressman Steve King is an extremely rare politician. He tells you exactly what he thinks and how he feels, consequences be damned. Today, King made it very clear how he feels about the Obama administration.
During an interview with the Washington News Observer, King slammed President Obama and two of his closest advisers, Valerie Jarrett and Rahm Emanuel. All three emerged from the Chicago political system, which has a long and notorious history as the most corrupt city in the U.S.
"The Chicago Machine, we know what it is," King said. "Someone called it gangster government. In Chicago, you have gangster government and Valerie Jarrett’s been in the middle of that. She’s been brokering power for a long time. And the link she has with William Ayers, and other nefarious characters in Chicago tells us what we’ve got in the White House itself. I mean she’s there. There are a number of links directly to Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett, and they go back to Chicago.”

How radical is Obama's Chicago Machine? The current boss, Mayor Richard Daley, blames the Ft. Hood massacre on, not radical Islam, not the shooter. He blames it on guns. Boss Daley still wields great power over President Obama.
King has become one of the GOP's true conservative soldiers in taking on Obama and the ultra-liberal Democrats in Congress. He even skipped his son's wedding this past weekend to rally conservatives in a bid to defeat PelosiCare. In prerecorded comments at the Iowa GOP's "Leadership for Iowa" event last Saturday, King ripped the bloated bill. "For liberals, this legislation is the crown jewel of their socialist agenda......we need to rise up and stand against this legislation until it is mortally wounded with a stake driven through its liberal heart."
In September, King rallied behind fellow House member Joe Wilson and helped expose Democrat lies about giving ObamaCare to illegal immigrants. Even NFL commissioner Roger Goodell faced King's wrath for his hypocritical stance against Rush Limbaugh.
King has become a frequent guest on cable talk shows and one of the main enemies of the liberal left. They hate him. They call him vile names like "racist", "bigot" and "xenophobe". These people have never met Steve King. I have. I worked closely with King and his staff after he endorsed Fred Thompson in the 2008 Iowa Caucuses. I do not always agree with him, but I respect him immensely. King is not a bigot, racist nor xenophobe. I have heard him speak many times on how God created all of us equally and we all should be treated equally.
King is a man of principles, and surprisingly to his critics, compassion. Unlike Obama and many politicians, who care more about votes and gaining power, King does not say one thing to the public and the exact opposite behind closed doors. What you see is what you get. Western Iowa is very lucky that it got Steve King as its congressman in 2003, and is lucky to have him still representing that district today.
