Executive Mansion,
Washington, Jan. 25, 2013.

Dear Madam,

I have been shown in the files of the FBI a statement of the Special Agent in Charge of Chicago that you are the mother of four sons who have died gloriously on the field of crime. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I may, Insha’Allah, assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Progress.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

B. Obama

They were not killed by guns. They were killed by people. There is no such thing as gun violence, because guns do not cause violence.

Thank you. That central truth cannot be repeated enough.

Besides, guns are illegal in Chicago. Ten thousand more gun laws would not make a damned bit of difference when the government refuses to deal with the cause - bad behavior resulting from an absence of moral values, as occasioned by the intentional destruction of the family as the central organizing unit of human life and the denigration of faith in God in favor of multi-generational dependency upon the state.

What makes you say they were all un-armed? Fact is, most homicide victims in this country are hardly angels themselves and have their own extensive criminal records. They run with the wrong crowds, engage in the wrong pasttimes and piss off the wrong people. I'm sure many of these "victims" in bloody Chicago were found dead with their own illegal handguns tucked into the waistbands of their sagging pants, a time-old failure to draw faster than the other guy.

That is a disturbing insight into some of the sheep. Life or death mean nothing.

You're right.

I was rather blown away by her attitude. Neither angry nor bitter!

WHOA!

Chicago’s a ‘gun free zone’ - only the criminals are armed... On the lighter brighter side, Chicago’s liberal elites live in buildings with 24/7 paid security in the downstairs lobby - and they’re just fine - thank you very much...

Chicago politicians have free 24/7 police security - provided by the citizens of Chicago - even the mother of the dead children helps pay for the Mayor's security team... is that charming?

How many kids do you have to lose to Chicago thug-ism before you decide it’s time to leave?
*************************************
Absolutely not! ,, she’s hooked up with her section 8 housing ,, obamaphone , SNAP and CASH cards .. probably has “extra” kids on her “account” (shares some of the neighbors kids to get more goodies..) and no doubt is comfortable as can be .. took her a long time to get to this level ,, she isn’t going to start over in a new city and have to qualify again...
