MLK isn't the only one with a dream...

EL RENO, Okla. — President Obama, who in recent weeks has shed any reticence to talk about racism and discrimination in American life, suggested inside the walls of a federal prison in Oklahoma on Thursday that under different circumstances, he could have been there as an inmate rather than as president.
“That’s what strikes me — there but for the grace of God,” the president said, standing in an empty cellblock with polished concrete floors and gray-and-white walls.
Minutes after he had finished meeting with six nonviolent drug offenders in El Reno federal prison, a medium-security facility, Obama said his life could have taken a trajectory similar to the prisoners’ if he had not had the kind of family and community support many young men of color lack.

Indeed. In a SANE world, this dangerous POS would have been separated from normal society.
Obama says that without family support he could have been in prison
"Family" looks more like a code word for "media".
He was lucky, and we were unlucky that he was never caught selling cocaine.
MLK isn't the only one with a dream...
He should be locked up!
His grandmother was the VP of a bank. THe grandfather was in the furniture selling business. Don’t think they were professors at the Un. of Hawaii though one UH professor wrote glowingly about Obama in a sort of biography.
He’s being honest...we know that he is a former coke-dealer.
You WILL end up in prison. Guaranteed.
He means because all blacks get put in prison.
...and if there is a God he will some day.
Just our bad luck....
I do love your graphic
His biological father was in Kenya and his mother, where ever.
Under any circumstances other than being born in the USA he would have probably would have been have been a farm hand. Pretty ironic considering that while he is always crying racism the reality is that he gets held to almost no standards or expectations.
Not a chance of him going to prison.
He has The Ministry Of Propaganda to cover for him.
“family support”????? His parents abandoned him. His F was an abusive drunk and his M slept around with people of color. Great family support. Hey, Clown Prince nobama...stop taking it out on us Americans, you self-described mongrel.
he could have been there as an inmate rather than as president.
Prophetic finally. Devine providence
Without family support we could all be in prison. The way you are raised has a GREAT deal to do with it.
That said once someone is in a criminal mindset we should not have to live next to them the rest of our lives.
What about some of Obama’s 81 aliases ?
Post of the day!
