Chicago is getting a break in that the Obama family will stay in Washington at least until the school year is over and then repair to their new estate in Hawaii which is or is near completion.

Since virtually everything President Obama touches becomes worse than before and Chicago is now Murder City once again (with some 765 murders in 2016, more than ten times the Toronto murder rate although Toronto has passed Chicago in population), is also the next major US city likely to declare bankruptcy Detroit style, is considered the most racist (both black and white racism) and corrupt major city in the US and has 3rd world public education in the inner city, I rather think that the last thing Chicago needs is to have Obama involved in any way in the city's government and problems.

Having Obama back for another stint in Chicago community organizing would be as astute a move as handing the keys to the Exxon Valdez back to the skipper and telling him to take her for another run up the coast.
