Former Baltimore mayor Martin O'Malley said that if he runs for president, he'll launch his campaign in Baltimore:
"We haven't had an agenda for America's cities probably since Jimmy Carter ... We have left cities to fend for themselves. ... But look, the structural problems that we have in our economy, the way we ship jobs and profits abroad, the way we failed to invest in our infrastructure and failed to invest in American cities, we are creating the conditions. Please, Speaker Boehner and his crocodile tears about the $130 million, that is a spit in the bucket compared to what we need to do as a nation to rebuild our country. And America's cities are the heart of our country. We need an agenda for American cities. We need to stop ignoring especially people of color and act like they are disposable citizens in this nation. That's not how our economy is supposed to work, it's not how or our country works," an impassioned O'Malley said.
NBC host Chuck Todd asked, "Do you think you can run on your record as mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland, given all this? You are getting a lot of scrutiny now. Do you think this is a positive thing voters will look at and say Martin O'Malley ought to be president?"
"I did not dedicate my life to make Baltimore safer and more just place because it was easy. And I am more inclined and deeply motivated to address what's wrong with our country and what needs to be healed and what needs to be fixed. This should be a wake-up call. What's happened in Baltimore should be a wake-up call for the entire country. The protests that also happened in New York, Philadelphia, and other cities--we have deep problems as a country. And we need deeper understanding if we are going to give our children a better future," said O'Malley.
Years ago Baltimore received money for housing, under O’Malley’s watch, were did it go ?
Ohhh yes, we know all about O’Fauliy..
Why do you think they call it O’Malleyland.
He can not be trusted any more than Hillary.
If Todd thinks your a D***head,you must be one!
I recall seeing boarded up row houses on Broadway when Lil’Marty was mayor.
I recall seeing the same boarded up row houses when Lil’Marty was governor.
I bet you if I traveled down to Bawlmer I could find the same boarded up row houses still boarded up.
Yep, vote for Lil’Marty. He’ll do for America like he did Baltimordor.
/spit

There are 4 people that you can get in contact with in Baltimore that can shed light on the history of corruption in Baltimore and Baltimore and O’Malleyland politics.
All of these people are radio show hosts on WCBM radio in Baltimore.
One of these WCBM radio hosts is Patrick McDonough.
Pat McDonough has a wealth of knowledge of the political history of O’Malleyland and Baltimore.
The other WCBM radio show hosts are Tom Mar who has filled in as host for Mark Levin, the others are Frank Luber and Sean Casey.
Maryland state Rep. Pat McDonough can tell you all about Martin O’Malley.
Does this brain dead one-cell realize who he included in the “we” of his stupid announcement? He might just as well have said “I left Baltimore to fend for itself,” which would have been correct. On the coattails of failure, he’ll once again get the black vote, even after admitted he played them.
Only in LibLand.
Ok, I admit I have not read the article because my stomach can’t take it.
But, the bastard liberals, led by LBJ, who is in the ground 60 miles from me as I type, have spent 18 trillion on the fn “cities” to no avail. Indeed, you could have just burned the money for heat in the winter and done more good with it.
Help me out! What’s that definition of “insanity” again?
A person to get in contact with in O’Malleyland to get a wealth knowledge of the history of the corruption in Baltimore and Maryland is State Rep. and WCBM radio show host is Patrick McDonough.
His is about the lone guy Republican in the Maryland State House who fights against the Democrat machine in Annapolis.
If they could, they’d aim the blame at Governor Hogan (*R*),who caused all this incredible damage so quickly since coming into office in January /s
The White Irish Blacka Cracker.... Only in lib O’Malleyland.
Former Baltimore mayor Martin O’Malley says he will run for president and start locking up people just because it worked so well in Baltimore (100,000 arrests in a city of 640,000)
What people don’t know is ?
It was Martin O’Malley’s culture of oppression and over policing that caused tensions between blacks and the police and Mayor Rawlings Blake continued it in some part in Baltimore.
When O’Malley became Mayor he order the police department to audit crime statistics and set out to look at crime statistics and reclassified minor offenses as more serious crimes.
Some arrests were so redicuious were as one man was arrested for dropping a candy bar wrapper on the ground while sitting on his aunts front porch step.
Ohh, by the way ? In case everyone forgets ?
Martin O’Malley’s father in-law Joe Curran was states AG.
Many of the blacks in Baltimore were arrested under O’Malley’s watch were just minor offenses,
You know, just to make him look like he was getting tuff on crime.
Martin O’Malley helped create the culture and climate of over policing and tensions in Baltimore.
Everyone knows it here in Baltimore, but of course the Democrats are going to circle the wagons around Martin O’Malley from this critisizm.
If the left and media are looking at those who are violating people’s cival liberties, they need to look no farther than their own, of the kinds like Martin O’Malley.
Of course Martin O’Malley will do the Sargent Schultz act with a smile “ I know nothing, I see nothing “ and will deny all of it.
Indeed.
Hence my objection.
