Chapter 9

Obama and the Chicago projects.
Obama thought that the projects were different then he had originally thought that they were going to be. The projects to him were somewhat of a different sort which he could eventually deal with. He lived in a part of Chicago on which was called The Altgeld Gardens Public or The Gardens for short. He felt that The Gardens as well as all of Chicago needed some work to look better then what it looked right then and there. When he was at the meeting that he was at he looked out the window and saw some boys throwing some rocks at an old boarded up building that had been boarded up. When he saw this he said "What is going to happen to those boys? The alderman? The social workers? The gangs?".
