Obama is set to give his final (hopefully) final farewell speech tonight from his adopted city of Chicago. aka the murder capital of the USA. The place where close to 4000 people have been shot dead in the streets since he took office. (More than 2x as many as his war in Afghanistan during the same time period)
Here he will tell Americans how lucky we were to have him as President.
My point is clear. You simply refuse to acknowledge it, with this, your 3rd attempt to derail the topic.
Lol, nice try saying I'm derailing. I directly responded to your post so if you claim it's derailing, you have yourself to blame for derailing it first. So, you said 100's working in Trump Tower aren't shooting up. I said the same of people working in the WH. It appears you attempted to say with your post that employees of Trump aren't the ones shooting people. So I ask, do you think then that the people in Chicago shooting others are employees of Obama? Is that why you blame Obama for the shootings?
It does not clear top ten in terms of murder rate.
There were 55 million overnight visitors to Chicago, up 3% from the prior year. How many of these visitors and Chicago residents venture anywhere near one of the 5 out of 25 Police Precincts where most homicides occur?
Not all rough/ poor neighborhoods in the city have experienced the same level of violence. Why is this? What's unique about these 5 areas? It's not race.
It's poverty.
My son lives in Chicago; as long as you stay out of those areas; he has never had a problem.

I have 2 friends who live there, they love it! Never any issues & they've lived there for years. I live an hour & a half away, no issues when visiting.

Is this supposed to be his Final-Final? He has 10 more days, I suspect that Sir-Lectures-A-Lot won't be able to help himself and will give more "Final" Lectures.
I do think it will be not only a "How Great I am" speech, but also a Lecture on what we must do going forward.
Obama Knows Best ..... or at least is convinced he knows best. He often tells us "That who (or not who) WE are."

Yes, expect him to talk about his accomplishments, it's what presidents do. Have you never heard one of these speeches?
It was, wasn't it. And quite accurate and to the point too.
