Michelle Obama, America's First Lady, has attended the funeral of a 15-year-old girl who was killed weeks after performing at President Obama's inauguration celebration.
The high school student was the 46th person to be shot dead in the Obamas' hometown of Chicago this year alone.
Her death has intensified a national debate on gun control.

So it's time to enact yet more laws on law-abiding gun owners, while the gangbangers continue to do their thing. Or maybe they'll heed the next set of stupid laws handed down from on high. /s

Yup, casket viewing is very specifically oriented & politically maximizing.

“First Lady mourns slain Chicago teenager”
That’s what’s known as assuming facts not in evidence.
“Michelle Obama, America’s First Lady, has attended the funeral of a 15-year-old girl”
That is a more accurate way of putting it.

A double-barreled inauguration celebration reminder of why you need your own firearm. Condolences to the family and friends of the 15-year old victim. The well-protected-by-firearms-first-lady did not let this crisis go to waste as she reminded us of the need and right to keep and bear arms without saying a word. Thanks first lady. /sarcasm

But she didn't go to Newtown.
Oops...The Newtown children were white....How silly of me to wonder "Why Not?"

We need to start the conversation about banning Chicago.
Chicago has an oversized capacity and there are too many IN it.

I don’t see why. Chicago already has some of the most onerous “gun control” laws in the nation. I can see it is working well for them. /s

"Hussein’s “political capital”."
Hussein's line of thinking on the teen's death: "At least she wasn't punished with a baby."

I’ll bet he finds that offensive. Just like any suggestion that he didn’t do all he could at Benghazi offends him.

Did she shut down Michigan Avenue to do some shopping afterward?

You notice that the POTUS never shows up to “Black” events. He always sends FLOTUS. I think he is really uncomfortable around Black people.

What about the 45 who preceded her in death?
Irrelevant, apparently.
Not exactly a surprise.
