President Obama's weekly remarks

Hi, everybody. Today, there are 2.2 million people behind bars in America and millions more on parole or probation. Every year, we spend $80 billion in taxpayer dollars to keep people incarcerated. Many are non-violent offenders serving unnecessarily long sentences.

I believe we can disrupt the pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jails. I believe we can address the disparities in the application of criminal justice, from arrest rates to sentencing to incarceration. And I believe we can help those who have served their time and earned a second chance get the support they need to become productive members of society.

And we've heard that 6660 prisoners are going to be released today....on Halloween.......when children will be out and about.

What could go wrong?

On the contrary, there’s at least one too few, as far as I’m concerned.

“Folks”. Obama has always been very “Völkisch” in his language.

Obama also thinks you have too much $ in your pockets, too many guns in your closet, too many rooms in your house, too many cars in... well, you get it I’m sure.

Stop taking prisoners.

Obama: Too many folks in our prisons,

Obama: too many rich folks in this country.

Solution: Let the criminals out of prison.

If we enforced the laws on capital punishment, the prisons would be a lot less crowded.

Problem solved.

Obama is a true believer in the Leftist cause. How many reformed Lefties can you name? It is untreated moral illness. David Horowitz is the only repentant one I can name.

"Too many folks in our prisons..."

His next Executive Order will be to give the vote to all felony offenders.

Anyone who spends any amount of time with the “folks” in the cities, will realize if anything, we need to put more in prison. Criminals and thugs run the cities of this country. Disproportionately, the problem is blacks and hispanics victimizing everyone else.
