If Obama Had A City, It Would Look like Detroit
American Thinker ^ | 07/20/2013 | Richard Butrick

Posted on 07/20/2013 10:47:22 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Consider the following regarding the city of Detroit:

40% of its street lamps don't work.

210 of its 317 public parks have been closed.

It takes an hour for police to respond to a 911 call. Only a third of its ambulances are drivable.

One-third of the city has been abandoned.

Forty-seven percent of adults are functionally illiterate Evidently 50 years of governance by compassionate Obama community organizer types have driven out the business class and now there is no one left to rail against.

To top it off, Judge Rosemarie Aquilina declared Detroit's bankruptcy "unconstitutional." Evidently, as Mark Stein puts it, in Michigan," reality is unconstitutional."

Make that, "If Obama had a country, it would look like Detroit"

I'm trying to remember, when OJ was arrested for murder did Bill Clinton go on TV and say: "If I had a daughter, she would look like Nicole Brown Simpson."

Detroit—victim of progressive politics and welfare. Time to dump these failed ideas before too many other cities are placed in the same boat.

“If I had a daughter, she would look like Nicole Brown Simpson.”

“If I had a daughter, I’d buy a Blue Dress at GAP, for her.”

Obama is doing his very best to make America look like Detroit. So far he is doing a pretty good job.

One thing I noticed about both the TM and OJ matters is they each removed the canvass over certain areas in our society. OJ managed to raise the curtain on the adjunct Hollywood social crowd while TM managed to raise the curtain on the “new education” 3.0 grade point average crowd. OJ’s was a sociopathic ego centric group while TMs is an anti cultural wasteland bunch connected by cell phones.

This is exactly what obama, along with his string pullers and teleprompter loaders, wants to happen to this country. And until a majority of the people wake up, it’ll keep happening.

These marchers, as long as they’re peaceful, aren’t hurting anything. The people in charge of the government are the ones doing the damage.
