"Obama doesn't have the slightest idea how to fix Baltimore. His solutions fall...Baltimore itself. The city hasn't been 'neglected'. It has been misgoverned into the ground. It is a Great Society city that bought fully into the big-government vision of the 1960s, and the bitter fruit has been corruption, violence, and despair...The Baltimore police are corrupt, dysfunctional, and unaccountable; because most of the Baltimore government is that way. This is a failure exclusively of Democrats."
