Is that a fact?

So, since the bill was signed in the early 60s we have spent TRILLIONS for Headstart - Wow, now THERE is a return on an investment! TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
So Randall, do you agree with those people on the video? At approximately 1;02 in the video a guy stated that "Obama has passed legislation that helped those illegal aliens", what "legislation" was that? Since I'm sure a guy like you may believe in "states rights", don't you think it would be incumbent on the State of Illinois, Cook County, and the City of Chicago to deal with those local problems? Do you think that the Federal government should intervene in Chicago and spend money there?
How the hell would I know? Do YOU know what's in the hearts of those people? Can't you understand what complete and utter frustration is - with THEIR man from THEIR state who has all but ignored their suffering? More people are being killed each week in Chicago than in Afghanistan. Do you UNDERSTAND THAT?
How the hell do you expect these folks to feel?
You liberals amaze me. The POINT is that Chicago has been under the thumb of democrats for as long as anyone can remember.
THIS is what they have to show for it. Absolute and abject FAILURE. Just like Detroit.
Yes sir! Your party is wonderful!!!
Randall, I don't know what is in the hearts of those people, but that's not the question I asked you. No I can't understand their frustration that is directed toward "their man". They should be frustrated with the criminals who perpetrate those crimes. I know that you believe in the INDIVIDUAL and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, it's not the "State's" fault that these people are murdering each other, it's certainly not Obama's fault either.
As far as Obama "ignoring" them; I don't think that's an accurate comment nor assertion.
"It was an emotional return to a city whose recent shooting victims have included Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old drum majorette gunned down a mile from Obama's Chicago home just days after she performed at the president's inauguration in Washington. Standing before Hyde Park Academy students in their navy uniform shirts,
the president said 65 children were killed by gun violence last year in Chicago. "That's the equivalent of a Newtown every four months," Obama said. Twenty children were among the dead in the Newtown massacre.
"
This is not just a gun issue," Obama said. "It's also an issue of the kinds of communities that we're building, and for that we all share responsibility as citizens to fix it. We all share a responsibility to move this country closer to our founding vision, that no matter who you were or where you come from,
here in America, you can decide your own destiny."
He's talked about the gun violence there plenty of times, here just one source:
Obama Chicago Gun Violence
I think that they should feel frustrated with the people who actually perpetrate those crimes. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
How do I "amaze" you, is it because I try to be objective and respectful when I ask you questions or discuss/debate issues with you? Have I ever called you anything derogatory?
It's not the Democrats nor the Republican's fault that certain portions of those cities have some real socioeconomic problems. In my opinion it falls back on the people themselves; the real problem is with the conditions and environment that some of those children are exposed to and growing up in. Thus the cycle continues unless there is some VERY early intervention in those children's lives and their parent's live as well.
Randall, I answered your questions, can you answer the original questions I asked you? Here they are:
