From Fox News: First lady Michelle Obama is meeting privately with the family of a 15-year-old Chicago honor student before attending the girl's funeral service.
Obama is among the dignitaries attending the service for Hadiya (huh-DYE'-yuh) Pendleton, whose death has brought national attention to Chicago's staggering gun violence.
Hundreds of people lined up outside a filled-to-capacity church to pay their respects to Pendleton.
Inside the church mourners filed past Pendleton's open casket, which was partially covered with flowers. A woman who walked in with the girl's family wailed loudly while organ and piano music played.
Pendleton was a band majorette who was shot and killed just a few days after performing for events surrounding President Barack Obama's inauguration.
The first lady, who grew up on Chicago's South Side, arrived at the church shortly after 10 a.m. She is meeting in an upstairs room with Pendleton's immediate family. Other majorettes from Pendleton's team -- wearing their black and gold team jackets -- also were in the room.

So, how busy was President Obama that he could not attend? Well, there was nothing on his official calendar from the White House, so, he wasn't that busy.
Chicago is the murder capital of the country and if there is a person who may help solve the problem, it is President Obama, not the First Lady, Michelle.
Obama has shown time and time again, he doesn't care about urban violence, urban plight and urban decay. He doesn't care about urban schools and he certainly doesn't care about Black on Black crime.
Why the Black community and the poor support this asshole is beyond me.
