Translation:
“Obama is leaving the WH in a few months, he could not care less about Chicago; He’s moving to a multi-million dollar home in DC. He’ll be hitting the links every day, and he will be laughing at the mess he’s left for the next president.
But, hey, thanks for bringing up the topic, so we can once again bash Republicans and blame them for everything.”

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said President Obama was “deeply concerned” about the violence in Chicago but acknowledged he did not have any specific policy proposals to address the city’s torrent of gun deaths….
“The president is deeply concerned about addressing some of the root causes of violence in those communities,” he said.
Asked by NBC’s Ron Allen about the tide of gun violence, Earnest touted national violent crime levels being at or near historic lows, while saying certain communities had experienced a “spike.”….
Earnest also ripped Republicans in Congress for blocking gun control proposals and stressed the importance of local police forces gaining the community’s trust.
“But is there anything specific to Chicago that the president has seen and observed, of these various prescriptions, that he thinks specifically deal with—as you point out, crime is down in many places,” Allen said. “It’s spiking in a couple of places, specifically there … When you look at that place, his home town, is there something really more specific that the president thinks should happen like now?”
“Well, I’m not aware of any specific prescription that the president’s prepared to put forward to address the situation just in Chicago,” Earnest said….

Hey Obama, how about the Gov. of Illinois sending in the National Guard, declaring martial law and cleaning out the gangs.
There is a failure–or intention–to leave out that Chicago is under heavy gun control.
The same way that Obama has solved the violence in Libya, Syria, DC,…. Oh wait….
