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.
“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.
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.
“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.
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.

I don’t see how anything happening in Baltimore can be attributed to racism.
It is a majority black city. The majority of city council members are black. The mayor is black. The chief of police is black.
Whatever else people say, they can’t be intellectually honest if they talk about racism being in this equation. The power structure of Baltimore, a majority black city, is also majority black. Blacks run Baltimore. So where exactly is the racism????
Fifty years of democrat policies, fifty years of poverty.
“More funding for early education” is wasted money. The Head Start program has been proven by numerous studies that any advantage the kids get from it is lost by the 3rd grade. It is nothing but free daycare for the parent(s). Yet practically every state has a Head Start program.
As usual with liberals, it’s not the results that count but the self-righteous feeling you get from “doing something”.
So this is how the 0bama regime and the state controlled media plan on blaming the Pubbies?
Okay, does 18 trillion dollars ring a bell?
Methinks CWII is nigh.

The country is broke you idiot!
This has to be satire. 50 years of democrat control is why Baltimore is a sh!thole!
Exactly. Last night we saw the return on our “investment” of several trillion dollars.
The big-eared one already urinated away trillions on his ‘social justice’ scams. No more.
Baltimore needs less government and more liberty. School freedom, friendly business environment, more take-home pay through lower taxes, and more personal responsibility. None of which will happen under the liberal hacks running the city.
What happens to renegade cities when the tax base moves out?
Anyone could have seen that coming. Nobody thinks some big government program (stadiums) is going to help the real economy.
Reminds me of that thread about Soviet leaders who would come to visit the US and yawn when they visited NASA but go nuts when they saw a supermarket.
Obama on anything: lies, and damn lies.
Lol. Knew obama would find a way to blame Republicans when Democrat run urban cities burn
Of course this “SPINELESS” worm we call president will immediately pass the blame on somebody else. Although 95% of the black population voted for this “SPINELESS” worm, he has brought in almost 30 million illegal invaders into this country, to vie for the jobs that the black population used to do. That’s why the unemployment in the black communities are a lot higher, than any other group. This “SPINELESS” worm has done more to destroy the black communities than any KKK member ever did.
And Obama's solution is to open up the border to a flood of illegal aliens to ensure that the 40% of young blacks who can still find jobs won't be able to.
We have 21 more months of unbridled, uncontrolled evil.
We have 21 more months of pure, crystalline lies.
We have 21 more months of Satanic misdirection, conspiracy, and destruction.
The president of the United States says that rioting and burning down a city is the White Man’s fault.
Yep, thats about par for this racist agitator.
