I have a question for Obama...he hails from Chicago where he spent some time in politics, and which also happens to be one of the, if not the most violent city on earth...he's been President for quite a while now and supposedly has quite a bit of support from the exact areas where most of the violence takes place on a daily basis in Chicago....I searched a bit for stories of Obama addressing the violence in his adopted hometown using his bullypulpit and influence in the community and the best that I could find was a mention in a videotaped address to some small group of students which included "
We have to provide stronger role models than the gang-banger on the corner,” Obama said.
Obama had declined the invitation to serve as grand marshal in this year’s parade. But he sent Deputy Assistant Michael Strautmanis, who is a trusted aid to presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, to represent Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
The president’s absence was a particular burn to some of the parade organizers.
For one thing, they had chosen as a theme: “Education: Built to Last; A Tribute to President Barack Obama.” And given Chicago’s growing reputation as a violent city, it seemed only fitting that a president who was from the city would be especially concerned. http://www.suntimes.com/news/mitchel...-hometown.html
....if this were your "hometown"...I'm pretty sure he still owns a house there...wouldn't this be a great opportunity if as President, you cared a wit about what is going on there??????
he can certainly spend a fortune to pop in there for an anniversary dinner with the wifey, he can fly over on his way to a multimillion dollar vacation in Hawaii ...and now we're supposed to believe that Blowhard Biden and Barry are going to magically....
"provide a range of steps that we can do to prevent gun violence"...sidestepping Congress in may cases
surreal......
