DETROIT -- They call this the Motor City, but you have to leave town to buy a Chrysler or a Jeep.

No national grocery chain operates a store here. A lack of outlets that sell fresh produce and meat has led the United Food and Commercial Workers union and a community group to think about building a grocery store of its own.

Last week, Lochmoor Chrysler Jeep on Detroit's East Side stopped selling Chrysler products, one of the 789 franchises Chrysler Group LLC is dropping from its retail network. It was Detroit's last Chrysler Jeep store.

The city's 22.8% unemployment rate is among the highest in the U.S.; 30% of residents are on food stamps.

"Obama is a radical Communist, and that's becoming clear. That's what I told people in Illinois and now everybody realizes it's true. He's going to destroy this country, and we're either going to stop him, or the United States of America is going to cease to exist. The man is an abomination. He is someone who has actually advocated infanticide, that when babies are the target of abortion, if they happen to escape the abortionists' intention, and are born alive, he actually supported the idea that those babies should be set aside to die. That's a man with such a seared conscience I can't even understand why anybody in their right mind would consider him worthy of political support. That is a violation of conscience that is inconceivable. And even some of the most hardline pro-abortion people in America rejected that abomination, and he did not. Is he president of the United States? According to the Constitution, in order to be eligible for president you must be a natural-born citizen. He has refused to provide proof that he is a natural-born citizen. And his Kenyan relatives say he was born in Nirobi at a time when his mother was too young to transmit US citizenship. So I'm not even sure he's president of the United States. No, it's not a laughing matter. Neither are many of our military people now, who are going to court to ask the question, 'Do we have to obey a man who is not qualified under the Constitution?' We are in the middle of the greatest crisis this nation has ever seen. And if we don't stop laughing about it and deal with it, we are going to find ourselves in the midst of chaos, confusion and Civil War. It's time we started acting like grownups. The person you call 'President Obama' -- and I quite frankly refuse to call him that -- at the moment he is kind of somebody who is an alleged usurper -- who is alleged to be someone who is occupying that office without constitutional warrant to do so. And he's rushing forward with ideas like destroying our borders, and an amnesty bill that will actually have the American taxpayer footing the bill for illegals to come to this country to live, to get housing and to get everything they want. He's also somebody who announced the program to essentially destroy the validity of existing mortgages, and to encourage everybody in the country to stop paying their mortgage, because the government is going to pay it instead. This is insanity. It's as if we have put insane children and adolescents in charge of our government. Have people gone mad in this country? We are claiming that a bankrupt government can save a bankrupt banking system. Explain to me how that happens? Because I think that's impossible. And the fact that we have just elected an individual who may or may not be qualified, and he presents silly ideas like this and says 'Let's move forward now.' And we're all acting like the laws of economics have been repealed, and we can actually afford to foot the bill with money nobody's got. This is insane. It's got to lead to the collapse of our economy, and it's going to."
-Ambassador Alan Keyes PhD, candidate for president for America's Independent Party, November 2008 (Keye's father was a US Army sergeant in the Vietnam War, Keye's wife is a citizen of India, and his daughter is a lesbian)
