So, That's All He Said?

From the Los Angeles Times: More than once, Hadiya Pendleton and President Obama walked the same streets.
Last week, the high school sophomore performed as a majorette at his inauguration in Washington. On Tuesday, she was gunned down in a park  a mile from Obama’s home on Chicago’s South Side.
By Wednesday, as word of Hadiya’s death rippled around the country, an official petition cropped up asking that Obama and his family return to their hometown to attend the girl’s funeral.
“The president and first lady's thoughts and prayers are with the family of Hadiya Pendleton,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday. When reporters asked Carney about the petition, he said he hadn’t heard about it yet and didn’t have any scheduling updates.  http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-white-house-hadiya-pendleton-20130130,0,4721837.story?track=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+latimes%2Fmostviewed+%28L.A.+Times+-+Most+Viewed+Stories%29
It will be interesting to see if Obama attends the funeral.  He ought to go and pretend that he actually cares about what is going on in his supposed hometown.
But for Obama saying his prayers are with the family of Hadiya Pendleton is not good enough.  Obama ought to say something about the murders in Chicago and how that city is out of control.
But Obama won't do that because he is a little pencil neck chickenshit who is afraid of hurting the mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emmanuel, feelings and his political power, because Emmanuel used to work for Obama in the White House.  He doesn't want to make the mayor look bad, so he sacrifices the lives of kids like Hadiya Pendleton and others when he doesn't speak out about the violence in Chicago.
