Bush, Clinton urge more aggressive help for inner cities
LOS ANGELES. May 10 : President Bush and expected Democratic rival Bill Clinton both toured Los Angeles riot areas this week and both came away condemning the violence, commiserating w(th Its victims and urging more aggressive government help for America's Inner cities, reports AP
The two visits were very different, just as the two men are different. One was a presidential trip with all the trappings of power and all the stagecraft. The other was the visit of a candidate with few of the resources of an Incumbent.
But in many mays, the Bush and Clinton tours were alike.
Both politicians touched the major bases — touring burned-out areas of the city to get a first-hand look at the devastation, even if Bush did most of his touring from the security of an armoured limousine.
They both visited firehouses, met with police and local officials, heard cries of hopelessness from black city dwellers and cries of fear and anger from Korean-Americans.
Both Bush and Clinton were accused by critics of playing politics In coming to Los Angeles. And the promises for action of both were met with skepticism from residents who have long lived under the burdens of extreme poverty and widespread violence and prejudice.
The Los Angeles riots have already imprinted a mark on the public policy debate of this presidential election season. And planks on the Inner city seem certain to be part of both the Democratic and Rcpubl-ican platforms this year.
A* the president came to l-o» Angeles, his administration was seeking to blame the riots on the liberal polices of previous Democratic administrations.
He returned to Washington vowing to work with Congress on bipartisan solutions. "Cas ting blame gets us absolutely nowhere," he told a group of black residents at a youth club In South-Central Lo* Angeles.
And In a Saturday morning radio address Bush vowed to fight hard for his plans to promote business development and jobs In the in-
ner cities and help public housing tenants by their homes.
"I can already bear some of the critics out there. They’ll say. well, you've proposed all this before. That's true, they’re right. But now it's time to act on these proposals." Bush said.
Bush spent less time than Clinton actually moving among the people affected by the riot. But a heavy dose of raw emotion still managed get through the protective envelope In which Bush travels.
Bush heard real pain and anger. He heard it from a black women who said she was afraid to leave her house or let her grandchildren play in a nearby park. And he heard it from a tearful Korean American wom an who told Bush every thing her family had worked for decades for was gone and now they can't make the mortgage or car payment*.
And he heard It in the resigned voice of an unemployed black construction worker who said he'd been trying for aver a year to get work but "It just won't happen" because "there are very
few black* able to get Into that type of work.”
Democratic Mayor Tom Bradley said Bush "seemed to get Information that he was unaware of during the visit and he believed Bush left the city with "a total commitment" to help.
Clinton, Who was in Los Angeles on Monday, beating Bush by three days, left calling for the government to move more aggressively to confront the problems of the cities Including initiatives to encourage investment in the inner city.
Bush has been sounding some of the same themes.
Of course, there's no way that either Bush or Clinton can escape playing politics or being accused of playing politics, as they press their rival Inner-city plans
“How many rebellions is it going to take. George Bush?" asked Rep Maxine Waters, a Democrat whose district Included the heaviest rioting. "You have to stop playing politics. You have to have domestic programme* where is the peace dividend
