| Obama On Baltimore: Republican Congress Won't Invest in Urban Communities |
| 2015-04-29 |
| [Breitbart] During his press conference today, President Obama addressed the violence in Baltimore, claiming his political agenda would help solve some of the problems found in impoverished urban communities, such as the one where the violence occurred. Alright, so you've had 6 years. How much more time do you or LBJ's 'Great Society' actually need? Wait! Let me do the math...51 total years is it now? Please give us a new number, a new myth. "There's a bunch of my agenda that would make difference right now in that," he said, calling for more funding for early education, criminal justice reform and job training. More funding is it? Imagine that. Money, the usual donk antidote and sacred mantra of the community organizer. Obama criticized members of Congress for blocking his agenda items, but encouraged Americans to do some "soul searching" during his joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe this afternoon. Yes of course, Americans must 'soul search', it's actually all our fault anyway. "I'm under no illusion that under this Congress we're going to get massive investments in urban communities," he said, adding that it was important to work to improve communities anyway. Translation: It doesn't matter what he Congress and the American people want, Champ knows best and will do it his way. He explained Americans should not "just pay attention to these communities when a CVS burns," but rather work together to tackle poverty around the nation. Yes, yes, yes....you racist Americans pay attention. "[W]hat I've tried to do is promote those ideas that would make a difference, but I think we all understand that politics is tough because it's easy to ignore those problems or to treat them as a law and order issue as opposed to a broader social issue," he said. It all begins with law and order, the rule of law is the foundation. All else is potential anarchy. Check out the Japanese model while you're there. Obama also suggested that the media was once again overplaying the violent protests while ignoring the peaceful ones done by community organizers in the Baltimore community. I agree, urban rioting, the torching of 145 automobiles and 15 businesses a few miles north of the nation's capital.... not actually newsworthy. Yawns, calmly kliks over to 'Wheel of Fortune'. "One burning building will be looped on television over and over and over again and the thousands of demonstrators who did it the right way, I think, have been lost in the discussion," he said. Did what the 'right way', break windows, loot, stone the police ? |
