Obama grabbed the spotlight when he declared, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.”
It’s seems ironic that Obama wouldn’t say that about victims in his own political hometown.
I’m not surprised, since making noise about mostly black-on-black, mostly gang-related and overwhelmingly deliberate killing in Chicago on a regular basis would be political suicide. After all, these are Obama’s core constituents and he cannot be critical about them.
Any such, “If I had a son…” comments would be an indictment of both the Daley Machine and Hillary’s village mentality. The Democrat way of raising children simply doesn’t work.
Below is a sampling of recent headlines in Michelle Robinson Obama’s hometown and the place Barack made his political fortune:

Methinks the President acted stupidly to make comments in the case…but it is an election year.
