Obama On Baltimore: Republican Congress Won’t Invest In Urban Communities 

By Charlie Spierling, Apr. 28, 2015, Breitbart.com

During his press conference today, President Obama addressed the violence in Baltimore, claiming his political agenda would help solve some of the problems found in impoverished urban communities, such as the one where the violence occurred.

“There’s a bunch of my agenda that would make difference right now in that,” he said, calling for more funding for early education, criminal justice reform and job training.

Obama criticized members of Congress for blocking his agenda items, but encouraged Americans to do some “soul searching” during his joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe this afternoon.

“I’m under no illusion that under this Congress we’re going to get massive investments in urban communities,” he said, adding that it was important to work to improve communities anyway

During a press conference in Estonia on Wednesday morning, President Obama was asked about the purpose of the NATO alliance, ahead of a conference with allies in Wales.

Obama described NATO as “unique in the annals of history” because of its success but admitted that the group had to move quickly to address evolving global threats.

“We have to recognize that threats evolve, and threats have evolved as a consequence of what we’ve seen in Ukraine, but threats are also evolving in the Middle East that have a direct effect on Europe,” he said.

He added that the “international community” needed to have an “international will” to confront the threat of Islamic State terrorists.

“We know that if we are joined by the international community, we will continue to shrink ISIL to where it is a manageable problem,” he said, admitting that terrorism was a continuation of a problem since before 9/11.

Obama warned that terrorism would continue to “metastasize” in a violent way and pointed out the importance of uniting the Arab World against it.

“What we’ve got to do is make sure that we are organizing the Arab world, the Middle East, the Muslim world along with the international community to isolate this cancer,” he said.

Obama added that the “particular brand” of extremism was “first and foremost destructive to the Muslim world,” by killing innocent citizens and damaging their economies.

“They are falling behind because of this very small and narrow, but very dangerous segment of the population and we’ve got to combat it in a sustained effective way, and I’m confident that we’re going to do that,” he said.
