From that link: “Meet the new Jim Crow, same as the old BS
This week President Obama commuted the sentences of “46 non-violent drug offenders.” In commuting these sentences, Obama is doing his thing to lead and otherwise contribute to the RACE-BASED assault on law enforcement.”
Link to book mentioned in the article. (See below.)
About this I think commenter JD at Amazon says it best.
“Obviously intended to create problems where they do not exist. Having both been raised in an area that would be considered prime breeding ground for the people supposedly being oppressed and then having both attended and worked at Harvard I am never surprised at the kinds of ideas that get pushed by those with little understanding of real life outside the campus or the beltway.
No doubt some people hate and some innocent people get convicted and others are born into bad situations (not their fault but do we ever blame their parent ?) but there is no conspiracy, just too much crime as a cultural wy of life and too little desire to get away from it.
The elephant in the room is there is vested interest to not letting the past go and much to gain in continued seeking of solutions to problems that actually have been reduced enormously.” – JD
Worth noting: Steinle is the only one he should be speaking on. All the other cases involve alleged abuses of local laws. This is the one that involves a failure to enforce federal immigration law and thus the one that should be of greatest concern to the President.

If you want to understand the resounding silence on this murder, this will go a long way.
It’s all about race.
Thanks for the links Rags.

Two things to consider about Barracula’s commutations…
1. at least SOME of these criminals were not minor drug offenders, but WERE sellers of WEIGHT, dealing in very addictive drugs, and…
2. they were CONVICTED of certain crimes, which by no means reflects their CRIMINAL CAREER of various crimes for which they were NOT convicted.
Geesh! Broke Obama would pardon Al Capone!
Oh, I see the problem. It’s TPOTUS. Obo the Clown only says what TPOTUS tells him to say.
I like the way you are portraying Barack Obama with his eyes closed these days. It seems fitting.
