Barak story

During his sojourn at the University of Chicago, Joe College Grad lived in an apartment in Hyde Park, across the street from Barak Obama's place. How close it was I don't know, but close enough to make this a story.

Anyway, Joe, as college students often do, had a party to which he invited several hundred of his close, personal friends. That part is clear. The next bit gets a tad murky.

Bottom line: some of Joe's friends got a bit excited and began throwing stuff, or in some versions of the tale, shooting a BB gun at Barak's building. Who knows...

Bottom line: Chicago Police department officers or secret service guys--I suspect Joe doesn't know--arrived at the scene of the party, asking to be invited in. And maybe this has nothing to do with guns, rock throwing, or other juvenile attacks on the senator from Illinois. Maybe the neighbors were sick of the noise emanating from Joe's place. However, whatever the cause of their arrival, the cops were denied admission to the student apartment. Joe wouldn't let them in because they didn't have a warrant. Every penny spent at the U of C was worth it....

And Joe is a solid Barak fan. It turns out Barak doesn't live in the neighborhood anymore. Probably those students got to him.
