Hey President Obama, Show up in Chicago for funerals of our Children also – Chicago Columnist
John Kass, columnist for The Chicago Tribune, appeared on CNN on Friday where he discussed the tragic increase of violence and murder that has struck his city in recent years. He said that lawmakers and members of the press have been guilty of “papering over” how bad the situation in Chicago was getting, and of “ghettoizing” the minority children who become the victims of gun violence in the inner city. Kass concluded by challenging President Barack Obama to come to Chicago for the funeral of one of the “hundreds and hundreds” of African-American and Latino children killed every year in gun crimes.

So sad that He is Right! POTUS gets Face time and Photo Ops at Tragedys that are along his Agenda Lines. Look at Treyvon Martin, Where the Babys that get Murdered everyday in Chicago or anyother City less important? Did his parents deserve the MSM Attention anymore then other children ? Did his death deserve a Congressional Hearing when others Deaths got No National Attention at all? If Gang Violence was on his Agenda he would have been their . How do the Parents of the dead children feel about POTUS and MSM?I can’t stand them picking and chooseing One above Another!
