Baltimore Riots? What Riots?

Obama's enjoying dinner with celebrities & diplomats while Baltimore burns.


Michelle is pretty in purple as the Obamas welcome Japanese Prime Minister and his wife for state dinner at the White House as violence rages 40 miles away in Baltimore

So...suddenly you now want him handling it personally instead of others? Wow...you have a lot of faith that the president makes better decisions then the professionals who specialize in it do. Awesome to see your faith in the president!

Isn't the burning of a major city a national emergency? The USA MSM certainly thinks so. Events like this get canceled all the time for such things, IF the president places importance on it.

Embelish much? the city isnt burning, one cop car is burning and a couple of buildings are burning is all i saw on the news,this to you represents a whole city burning and a national emergency? I'm sure at any given time theres a building or two on fire somewhere in the USA is the President supposed to drop whatever he is doing and personally attend every fire in the USA?.
Michelle looks great

You are right. I looked it up. It appears the Obama's put their entertainment before anything else. They don't cancel anything except White House tours for the common person to make political points.

The Governor has issued a State of Emergency for Baltimore. 1000s of law enforcement officers sent to city.

Violence erupts for a second night in Baltimore: Defiant rioters face-off with three thousand police officers firing tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd to enforce city's broken curfew

That's the depth of nonsense that the right wing needs to stoop to in order to rationalize their inane anger at not having the kind of petty and self-serving control over the nation that they want.
