…of a stay of execution?
Reagan’s home could become a parking lot for Obama’s library
CHICAGO, Illinois, January 25, 2013 – A new Cold War is brewing here in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood and it has nothing to do with the frigid temperature.
The apartment building at 832 E. 57th Street was once the Chicago home of a boy who would become a President.
No, it’s not Barack Obama of Hawaii. It was at the apartment’s first floor window that a young Ronald Reagan looked out upon the world.
But some powerful Chicagoans are planning to demolish Reagan’s historic home. Is it politically motivated? Is Mayor Rahm Emanuel behind the move?

Can’t say I’d be surprised if that was the case.
YA THINK!
A stay? No way!
The Chicago commies will stand across the street, cheering.
This was all over the news when I was up in Illinois over Christmas break. The argument some are making is that it’s “less historically relevant” than some places Reagan lived, but I can’t help but think there’s a political aspect as well.
While I don’t consider it necessary to preserve every home that any president every lived in, I would say that in this case, he symbolism is not wasted on the Left. This is their “triumphant boot-heel on the throat” moment.
There have been others.
It must irk the bejeezus out of those Chicago thugs that they have any association with a man so much their superior in every way.
Relax. It’s just a house. They can’t bulldoze Regan away.
