He will be commenting as soon as his handlers figure out how to put another fake halo on his head.

Thank you for saying that. The President shouldn't have any comment on a local city matter, regardless of his connections to the area.

“Don’t they receive federal tax dollars?”

Guess you’re right. That’s another problem throwing federal money everywhere. Everything becomes nationalized. We have become a nation where everything is everybody’s business. One big collective.

Looks like from the picture he graduated from the megaphone to a telepromter. I despise that man and all that he stands for!

For his lunch he liked wagyu meat,
But he shrank from a physical feat.
..A timid old fellow
..Like quivering Jell-O
He preferred to vote: “Incomplete”.

What, nobody’s acting stupidly? No one could be his son? His chair status? Now he’s got nothing to say?

"Obama Won't Comment on Chicago Teacher Strike..."

.....That's because this is probably a staged event and manufactured crisis. This is an important election for statists and socialists. As a result, the prez will probably personally step in and negotiate a winning settlement, that has probably already been reached. He will once again save the day .... the conquering hero will rise up to retake the status and mantle of deity among his adoring followers and all who worship at his feet.

Smart thing to do is stay out of local issues. Not that he was smart enough. Someone else suggested it, I’m sure.

Of course not. That would mean taking a position on an issue and explain without a teleprompter.

God help our country.

” - - - Jay Carney says President Barack Obama has no comment - - - “

Duh, does Obama’s silence mean consent?

BTW, how will the parents of those 400,000 Chicago school children respond to Obama on election day?

But had no problems with wading into the ‘they (the police) acted stupidly’ incident.

Yep, and he was dead wrong to do so. He also got into the Trayvon Martin shooting—also dead wrong.

Maybe this clown CAN learn from experience...
