CHICAGO CLIP n' HIT JOB: President Obama's hometown of Chicago, where he earned and learned his political stripes,
charges the most taxes to travelers among the top 50 U.S. destinations, according to a recent

Technically, this is conincidental since Obama didn't levy the taxes (he's been a federal-level politician since being sworn in as a U.S. Senator in January 2005).
