I asked a question and made an observation. But since you've decided that I was making a suggestion...what the hell, maybe we can go sit in the sweatlodge with our pants off and explore together what it might accomplish. If he were to do it, dontcha think it would probably depend on what he might say?
Maybe Obama could come home to Chicago this Spring, set up a big rally in Grant park, walk up to the podium and say..."Why TF are people in Ferguson out in the streets every night when one black kid is killed by one white cop under suspicious circumstances, while here in Chicago dozens of innocent kids are gunned down in gang crossfires and, outside of Father Flager's anti-violence march every year, nobody here seems to give a shit."
Now that would be interesting.

Heaven Sutton is not the only innocent child to be killed on the mean streets of Chicago. In the past year, 24 were killed by errant gunfire in gang related shootings, police reports show.
