Former Black Panther turned Congressman, Bobbie Rush represents the first Congressional District of Chicago which incorporates a large part 
of Chicago’s South Side. While Rush stood on the U.S. House of Representatives floor, wearing his hoodie and sounding like he has never had an English lesson in his life, two men in hoodies shot one dead and injured five in the crime ridden streets of the area. Â But Chicago’s South Side is more than a little nostalgic for Michelle Obama. She recently told Dave Letterman she instills the’ kind, respectful and empathetic values’ of Chicago’s South Side in her daughters. At about the same time, City Fathers and law enforcement called a meeting to “get a handle on the alarming Crime” in Chicago’s South Side. Bobby Rush was there to speak about violent flash mobs that happen in the “on a regular basis.” But…but, it’s worth noting what the Police Chief had to say at that meeting:
“The bottom line is that we need a collective spirit to change the way young people behave,†said McCarthy.
He said the problems that occur on the South Side affect every side of the city.
“My goal here is to take this thing to a whole separate level,†he said. “This isn’t a police problem, it’s a community emergency. And I will work with anybody that’s interested in solutions.â€Â Source: cbslocal

How could you have any comment on something so degrading. Just one question. Were the ones doing the shooting black, and the ones being shot white? That would say it all. No comment, only disgust at the way America has turned out.

I love the beautiful dress of Mrs. Obama, lovely blue that attractive in my eyes…

WISDOM???????????????????? Who’s kidding who????? Are we serious???????????
You are talking about the woman that said: “For the first time in all of her adult life, she was proud of her country.”
“All this for a flag?” oh there is more – not worth repeating.
How embarrising even with a blue dress on – as they say – “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear.”
