HIS KIND OF TOWN - AT 5:58 P.M. ET:  There has been action in the president's home town of Chicago: 

CHICAGO (CBS) — At least 15 people were shot and wounded in Chicago overnight, seven of them in a single incident on the city's West Side.

In that incident, police were called to the scene of a shooting at Walnut Street and Homan Boulevard at 10:43 p.m.

Seven people were shot, according to Fire Media Affairs Dir. Larry Langford, who said six people were initially hospitalized in critical condition and one person, an adult man, was taken in stable condition after suffering a graze wound.

COMMENT:  And what is the president concerned with?  An arrest in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in which no one was hurt, and which seems entirely proper.

Wonder if the president will have a beer with some of the gang bangers back home.  Rev. Wright could arrange the party.
