My connection leaves ORD at 9:50pm, and that is also printed on my boarding pass.

This means that I was checked in onto a flight which the person checking me in *knew* I had no chance of making my connection. I checked in at 4pm - I was at the airport early. In addition, I *asked* if there were any problems with the Chicago flight, and I was told that the only problems are with flights to Dallas, Texas.

Now my bag has been checked in, and I'm being told that there is no way to get it off. I have a flight direct to Gatwick with Virgin, but if I can't get my luggage from AA then I clearly can't get on there.

Damn stupid lying check-in lady :-(

You are actually departing at 7pm ORD time. With a flight of about 2 hours you will be in Chicago around 9pm, plenty of time to make your LHR flight. Relax.
