Look I can only do so much, I can't keep up with all of you. First of all, and I know this will be breaking news for you, there are over 300 million people in the U.S. There is no one in this country that doesn't have someone that doesn't dislike them. Obama is the President of the United States, that position alone comes with millions of people that dislike whoever is in that office. The Chicago thing is a "City" issue. It is not Obama's personal responsibility. Now overall crime and homicides, in this country, is an issue that Obama should address, on a Federal level. He has no business meddling in City or State affairs, unless of course there are federal issues involved. He can comment on them and make his feelings known but it is the City's responsibility to address the issue of violence and take concrete measures to deal with the situation. I know how Conservatives are lazy, and like to blame Obama for everything, but contrary to a Conservative's belief Obama doesn't control the purse strings of the U.S. government. He can ask for money to do things, but it is the House of Representatives who have to approve whether the money is allocated or not. So ignorant statements like "Obama is spending all this money on the border" is a display of sheer ignorance. And there is another thing, the President of the United States has more than one issue to deal with. The "border issue" is a direct responsibility of the Federal government. It is easy to attack Obama on one issue. We know it's easy to attack him on one issue, because Conservatives do it. And they can only do things that are easy, primarily because they are simple minded. So when you post anecdotal examples like the one here, dealing with the Chicago crime problem, I say who gives a rat's a$$. Yes there is always someone going to bit*h about something. And the reality is no one is going to solve every problem. Conservatives never solve problems, they create them, then pass those problems on to others. And then ultimately blame those they dumped the problem on. It's a neat little system they are never held accountable for the messes they make they just leave the messes for others to clean up. Face it Conservatives are children, they are not adults. I for one am shocked, that hypocritical Conservatives bring this issue to light. They always seem to be the ones screaming about "personal responsibility" and now they seem to be siding with individuals, who they despise, who want to make this a federal issue. Isn't this the exact thing Conservatives bit*h about all the time? People not taking responsibility to clean up their own messes and quit asking for federal assistance. Conservatives never cease to amaze me, every time I think they can't take hypocrisy to a new level, voilĂ , they've done it. What is amazing is that Conservatives are so focused on negative publicity about Obama, they can't see the overall picture. Here is an article about some b****s, in Chicago, saying negative things about Obama. One in particular implies that Obama may go down as the worst President, in history. Yet Conservatives miss the "Big Picture", that here are a group of citizens asking for help from the federal government and not dealing with the problem, themselves. This is the heart of the Conservative's core values, a "smaller" Federal government and "personal responsibility" and they forsake all of their principles, just because they heard someone bad mouthing Obama. Conservatives have no "principles", they are amoral.

That's just dumb! This conservative wouldn't mind programs that were designed to make folks independent, but they aren't. They're designed to
people dependent. Proof? More people than ever are on them
they're getting poorer.
People have to be adults and take care of themselves. An adult might need a hand up at some point in their lives, but we don't need to
adults as if they were children.
You think you're altruistic and caring, and I understand why, but ultimately, anything that makes more people dependent on the government is a disservice to them and the taxpayers who are already under seige.
Obama is a con-man. Period. And you put him in office. If I'd v**ed for him I'd be embarassed at being fooled so badly. Mark Twain said, 'It's easier to fool a man than to convince him he's been fooled'. I don't need pundits or links or clever little pictures or emotional rhetoric to explain to me what's going on here.
