Obama: 'No excuse' for violence in Baltimore - CNNPolitics.com
Thought this was interesting. I guess it takes the wind out of the 'tacit approval' crowd.
Whatever Hatuey. You're entitled to your opinion. I'll stick to mine, it's based on facts, and independent thinking.
Have a nice day.eace

There must be some excuse as to why so few of these crimes, which were committed in front of press cameras and while the police are present and watching, resulted in arrests. Baltimore is a joke when it comes to law enforcement. How their moronic mayor or police chief were surprised by the rioting, looting and burning is beyond belief when the press seemed to have seen it coming and were ready and waiting for the scoop. It seems that, like Ferguson, Baltimore places priority on protecting government property and leaves the general public to fend for themselves when the **** hits the fan.
Lol, your opinion? I don't care about your opinion. I questioned your analysis of his words and asked you to answer simple questions. I also dismissed The Gateway Pundit's analysis for being absolutely stupid. You seem to be unable to answer simple questions, so I can only assume that your analysis is based on the same 'facts' and 'independent thinking' as theirs.
I guess it is true you don't understand what the Presidents words are approving.
In the final paragraph I posted from the transcript of his comments, the President knew he was giving an excuse for the criminal activity that has occurred over and over in these ginned up situations. That's why he prefaced his comment about the state of these impoverished communities.
Liberals, and now Progressives, have been spouting this drivel for decades. I remember the Watts riots, and the King riots and all the others that have gone on across the nation. The same platitudes and excuses are offered. And they mean SQUAT. How many billions and by now trillions have been spent? And the same excuses are made. It's astounding to me these poor souls haven't figured out yet that they are being played for fools by politician like President Obama.
How about the President add a few words about his illegal alien plan that's going to do wonderful things to these impoverished communities? No, the President said, riot on, I understand. Besides, its not unfeasible to consider he thinks these riots keeps them occupied while he manipulates another minority for political gain.
These facts are about as vivid and plain as they could be.
LOL. I don't care about your opinion of my analysis.
The fact that you interpreted his message as "Go ahead and riot" speaks more to your bias and less to my understanding. No standing President would ever encourage/incite/or otherwise condone rioting.
Crystal ball arguments into the mind of an individual seldom work out. Obama said there was no excuse for the rioting or looting. How you interpret that to mean that he approved of the riot and looting is mind blogging.
Do you have a problem with Obama pointing out that these communities regularly deal with police brutality?
Do you have a problem with Obama saying that that drugs are a problem in the black community?
Do you have a problem with Obama saying that simply sending police will not solve the issue?
I don't think anyone here - not even you - is sure what your problems with his words are. Is it that he discussed the underlying issues behind a lot of these protests? Is that what bothers you?
The problem is timing. If Obama wants to discuss those other things, do so at a more appropriate time. This is not the time to be discussing reasons why people are rioting.
This is a time to discuss why people should NOT be rioting.
Any discussion about why people should be rioting is going to be percieved as tacit approval or at least excusing what damage the rioters do. At some level, trying to explain the reasoning for the riots while they are occuring is a demonstration of acceptance and approval of the cause they choose to support - which people will percieve as directly caused by their rioting.

If you think that the people rioting are waiting on Obama's secret code word to riot you're simply trying too hard to put a meaning that isn't there.
So ? He advocates for the very policies that lead to suffocating poverty, increases in violent crime and eventually powder kegs that turn into race riots. You people never learn. Back in the late 80s and early 90's when David Denkins was the Mayor of New York violent crime including Murder peaked at all time high.
It took the election of Rudy Guiliani to finally bring down crime rates and clean up a City that had turned into a cesspool under Democrat rule.
Not too mention race relations never improved under NY's first Black Mayor ( sound familiar ?) In fact they grew worse and eventually led to the 1991 Crown Heights Riots. Fun Fact ! David Denkins ALSO instituted a policy of giving the rioters time and space to blow off steam. How did that work out ? It had expected results and made things worse.
There's a history of worsening race relations and a growing enmity towards Police officers especially in Cities and areas that have been under Democrat control for decades. For some reason it's a crisis when one man dies under Police custody but record black on black violence is a non-issue.
Whether its Chicago or Ferguson or Baltimore or even NY under Deblasio, Democrat policies and crime and poverty go hand in hand.
This seems to be the thing. Apparently Obama and Sharpton have some advanced form of Negro Mind Control, where when they say "don't riot" or "there is no excuse for rioting," that is the trigger word for the black hordes to take the rioting up to 11.
It's in every Obama speech, man."There's no excuse for the kind of violence that we saw yesterday. It is counterproductive," Obama said at a press conference from the White House. "When individuals get crowbars and start prying open doors to loot, they're not protesting. They're not making a statement. They're stealing. When they burn down a building, they're committing arson.
Ah yes, the Negro Mind Control special word. I forgot about that word. I'm going to let you in a little secret, okay? It's not actually 'don't riot' that sets people off. It's 'chicken'. You ever notice that you can arrange some of the letters in Obama's speeches to say 'chicken'?

Lol, the gateway pundit's analysis on what Obama says is irrelevant to anyone except the uninformed.
Did you listen to what the President said? Forget any analysis - his words, from his mouth.
You post "no excuses" and yet that clip posted by Travis seems to be a pretty lame attempt at excusing the actions.
Nobody's fooled here.
I did in fact listen to it, yes.
Only it isn't. He discussed why people were protesting, not rioting. Trying to suggest the opposite is absolutely dishonest. Unless of course you too can see into Obama's mind and what he really meant by suggesting what is a fact. Minorities are protesting because they feel like the system is rigged against them and police still have the freedom to attack people with impunity. That's not a justification for the rioting or looting. It's a justification for the outrage exhibited by the protestors and it's absolutely on point.
Weren't you saying just recently that Obama had not condemned the riots and looting? Now that he has ,you've moved unto an absurd gotcha game where saying that the violence and riots are inexcusable but the protests themselves have reason is a justification for the riots. The kind of mental acrobatics involved in that are REALLY astounding.
That's the thing, he didn't discuss why people are rioting. He discussed why people are protesting. He said there were no excuses for the rioting. I'm pretty sure that is a textbook example of a person not discussing reasons behind the riots themselves.
He did that. It's unacceptable.
I don't know how you take 'NO EXCUSE FOR RIOTING' as something other than that. This speech had two parts of the issue being discussed. It had the riots, which Obama did not excuse and the protests, which he based on facts. Being angry because he discussed the entire issue just makes people look petty. If you think that the people rioting are waiting on Obama's secret code word to riot you're simply trying too hard to put a meaning that isn't there.
1. I claimed that Obama hasn't passionately called out the black savages and anarchists who are assaulting innocent white bystanders and also destroying public and private poverty. He still hasn't. His lame analysis only feeds the fire.
2. He claims that what happened in Ferguson "leaves troubling questions". What troubling questions did his Justice Department and former Attorney General not answer in their Ferguson investigation and report? That comment alone manufactures a rationale for rioting where none exists. It excuses the protests by attempting to validate "troubling questions" that don't exist.
3. Did the President say anything about the assault on the police officers in Baltimore yesterday? The seven who were injured, one seriously?
The only ones performing mental gymnastics are the apologists, like you, who excuse this President's disastrous leadership, particular on race issues, and that coddle the black savages attempting to take control of an American city.
Uh, you want Obama to come out and say, "I call upon this nation's 'black savages' to stop rioting at once"?
Good on him.
But the question does remain as to why he felt the need to send three representatives to the funeral.
