Obama Just Called This "Rotting, Decaying Hellhole" A Symbol Of "Promise For The Nation"
ZeroHedge.com ^ | 18 May 2015 | Tyler Durden

Speaking in Camden, New Jersey, President Obama just uttered the following Detroit-esque words of doom:

*OBAMA SAYS CAMDEN IS SYMBOL OF PROMISE FOR NATION

We discussed Camden in 2012, 2013, and 2014... and had a different opinion.

And this...

All over America, formerly prosperous communities are being transformed into crime-infested wastelands of poverty and despair. At one time, Detroit was the greatest manufacturing city that the world had ever seen and it had the highest per capita income in the entire country. But now it has become a rotting, decaying hellhole that the rest of the planet laughs at. And of course Detroit is far from alone. There are hundreds of other U.S. cities that are suffering a similar fate. In this article, the focus is going to be on Camden, New Jersey, but the truth is that there are lots of other Detroits and Camdens all over the nation. Jobs and businesses are leaving our cities at a staggering rate, and what is being left behind is poverty, crime and extreme desperation.

If it’s so wonderful then how is it that my Civil War veteran great-grandfather is buried in One of Camden’s many “no-go” zones? Needless to say, he’s spinning in that grave ...

His mind has melded into a warped entity.

He sees the ‘Great Society’ as a Success Story.

D is for Delusional

D id for DemocRat.

D is for Disaster.

Just off the top of my head I can recall THREE Camden mayors being indicted for corruption. Obama is right. Camden is a symbol for the nation of more things to come
from the Democrat party..

I worked in Camden and yes, it is a garbage pit.

But it wasn't always that way.

Up until the LBJ era and the "War On Poverty" it was a wonderful typical small city with plenty of industry, a bustling downtown, and a great place to work and live. But like thousands of other towns and cities it has been destroyed by liberal political policies .

At one time Camden had a very big shipbuilding industry but it pretty much closed down in the late 1960's.

I met people from families that had lived there for generations but they have been forced to move out by the wave of criminals, bums, moochers, illegals, etc.

The very nice downtown area deteriorated into a welfare dispensing point and it wasn't safe to be there alone, night or day.

New York Shipbuilding Corporation, Camden, NJ circa 1950

Camden has been a dump for fifty years. Obama has just noticed this now?

All over America, formerly prosperous communities are being transformed into crime-infested wastelands of poverty and despair.

And every one transformed from prosperity to poverty by leftist anti-poverty programs, free trade pacts, over taxation, destructive immigration policies, oppressive federal regulations and Nanny State mentality.

But the democrats couldn't have done it without Rrepublican help.
