It's All About Obama (Michelle)

It must run in the family and I feel sorry for the Obama girls.
From the Chicago Sun Times: First lady Michelle Obama in a Chicago visit Wednesday grew emotional, choking on her words as she explained how she struggled to bring comfort to the friends of Hadiya Pendleton the day they were to bury their friend.
“I urged them to dream as big as she did,” Michelle Obama said to a group that gathered to back Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s initiative to raise $50 million from the private sector and invest the money into youth programs in troubled neighborhoods.....
Mrs. Obama — who, in a rare move also publicly urged Congress to take a vote on gun safety reforms — repeatedly drew parallels between her own life and Hadiya Pendleton. She said she related to the parents of the slain 15-year-old, who was killed just a mile from the Obamas’ Kenwood home. The first lady said she saw so much of herself in Hadiya, whose parents gave her everything they could. They put her in every activity and saw her perform for the president’s inauguration just before she was murdered in a Chicago park.
“Hadiya Pendleton was me, and I was her,” an emotional Mrs. Obama said. “But I got to grow up and go to Princeton and Harvard Law School and have a career and a family and the most blessed life I could ever imagine. And Hadiya? Oh we know that story. Just a week after she performed at my husband’s inauguration, she went to a park with some friends and got shot in the back because some kid thought she was in a gang.”  http://www.suntimes.com/19406096-761/michelle-obama-in-chicago-hadiya-pendleton-was-me-and-i-was-her.html
Obama can talk about herself but she cannot spend 1 second on talking about black on black crime that is rampant in inner cities.
Nope.
Why not?
Who are killing the kids in the inner city?  It ain't the country white folk or suburban rich white kids killing the inner city youths and adult (yep, there may be an exception or two per 10,000 murders).
So, why aren't the Obama's talking about and hopefully save people like Hadiya or in the case in Las Vegas, Betty Pinkey (http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2013/01/1-year-later-no-snitchers-are-still.html)
If anyone who thinks that the Obama's actually care about the poor in the inner city are just smoking crack, believe in unicorns and throw around pixi dust.
