    Question

    Are you pretending to care about black victims of gun violence?

    Has it occurred to anyone on the right that just having a black President might stoke more division?

    I think Obama has done what a leader can to try to heal the divide. Hearing him speak today, I can't think of anyone better. But "solving racism" is something a President has limited capability to do. That's on us.

    Which does not answer the question as to how is life after 8 years of Obama, and what is the murder rate in his home city? Ignoring peoples pain will not heal it

    Please. You guys always bring up Chicago like Obama is President AND its mayor, also. Like it's some sort of incriminating thing that he hasn't been able to solve the violence in his "home city."

    The mayor of Chicago is Rahm Emmanuel Obama's former chief of staff. So how is life there in Chicago after 8 years of Obama and Rahm as mayor. Again ignoring peoples pain will not make it go away

    You know how life in Chicago is, and you know the murder rate there.

    Why do you think it's Obama's fault that people use guns to kill each other?

    Why aren't you correlating it w/ 6 years of a GOP Congress?

    They are the ones who stonewall any and all gun regulations.

    And I don't want to hear the cliche about Chicago's "strictest gun laws in the country".



    Though it’s hard to get a gun in Chicago, it’s much easier to get one in the city’s immediate vicinity.

    Why create the context if you don't want me to address it?

    I ask a question that I already know the answer to. I was asking for other peoples opinions............... No one seems to want to address it as the answer is proving deadly to those protecting the peace.
