Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama on Tuesday condemned the "criminals and thugs who tore up" the city of Baltimore on Monday night, after rioting and looting paralyzed the city and overwhelmed local officials.

The sustained outbreak of violence followed the funeral for Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old man who died after he was arrested more than two weeks ago. Cars were set on fire, stores were destroyed, and six officers were seriously injured. It was the first time Obama has commented on the turmoil in Baltimore that has followed Gray's death.

"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. And they're destroying and undermining businesses and opportunities in their own communities. That robs jobs and opportunity from people in that area."

There is an excuse, it's Obama's and the white man's fault.

You know Obama didn't really mean that.

Nothing is wrong with this picture. Around here you get to mock any group of people as long as that group is not Republicans or conservatives.

That has been made quite apparent today, hasn't it?

Who was President in 2001 when the Cincinnati riots took place?

Just comes to show that it takes a certain numbness in the skull to be a real right winger.
