RUSH EXCERPT:
OBAMA: "Young, went to whitney young. My commute took me more and more through downtown and over west. And, you know, we were cultured, you know, we went to museums, we did things like that. But I started noticing that the investments downtown were very different. You know, that in order to do or see or experience anything beyond what you knew, you had to get on a bus or pay for parking or, you know, take the l and go to a whole nother community to experience beautiful parks and to really enjoy the lake and to see art and to see culture. It was here, but it wasn’t here. Yeah. Right."
