OBAMA-NATION: Obama cites Camden, NJ as “symbol of promise for the nation”

NJ Advance Media for NJ.com — Good old Jug Ears in Camden, NJ.

Like many, initially I thought Barack Hussein Obama was merely supremely incompetent.

I’ve grown to believe that he’s devilishly smart. It’s not incompetence, but an overarching strategy to bring America down in the world. Obama doesn’t believe in American exceptionalism. He sees America as a blight upon the world that needs “fixing”.

Frankly, it reminds me of the “Hunger Games” series of novels, with the central government operating in splendor and largess, while the rest of the nation struggles, and national government representatives tell the toiling masses how good they’ve got it.

Today, Barack Hussein Obama called Camden, New Jersey a “symbol of promise for the nation”.

Yeah, because most people think of the cesspool that is Camden, NJ when they think of the American ideal. Why didn’t he give that speech in Detroit?

CAMDEN, NJ - AUGUST 20: Officer Tom Rambone, of the Camden County Police Department (CCPD), goes on a foot patrol on August 20, 2013 in the East Camden neighborhood of Camden, New Jersey. The town of Camden, which was once a large industrial town but watched it's population dwindle as manufacturing left, has been marred with societal problems including high unemployment, crime, murder and heavy drug trafficking for decades. The Camden County Police Department was officially created in May, 2013, after the unionized Camden Police department was disbanded. The overhaul, which was supported by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, has been considered unprecendented and has been closely watched around the country. The new force currently has approximately 280 members, and will reach full size by December, with 400 members. Early signs suggest the overhaul has been effective - The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that Camden murder rates fell 29% from May, 2013 to July 2013, compared to the same period last year. Absentee rates of the CCPD is also lower: approximately 5% of officers have been reported absent so far, compared to approxmiately 30% of the Camden Police Department prior to the change in command.

Yeah, Camden is a real jewel of promise for America.

Perhaps it is so, in a Democrat-controlled region.

As one commenter noted this morning:

Voting for today’s Democrats is nothing more than voting for the pre-Civil War slave-masters of the South. They’ve done more to keep black people poor and disintegrated into society than the Klan ever dreamed of doing.
