A Texas man whose life sentence on drug charges was commuted by former President Obama is back behind bars after cops caught him with more than two pounds of cocaine following a high-speed chase, according to a report.

Robert M. Gill, 68, had been imprisoned in 1990 for for cocaine and heroin distribution before Obama set him free along with other non-violent federal inmates in 2015, the San Antonio Express News reported.

During his eight years in office, Obama commuted 1,715 prison sentences, more than any other president.

Last Thursday, according to federal court papers, Gill met with his probation officers and then went to the parking lot of a food market to buy more than 2 pounds of cocaine.

Maybe this time he really will turn his life around but he will face difficulties re-entering society at 108.

We're talking some big bucks here... where did he get that kind of money? Did Obama also pay these people some sort of bonus when they got sprung from the slammer?

According to Yahoo a pound of coke is worth $27,000 in the US before it's cut up for resale, $150K after resale. This guy was buying two pounds of the stuff... $54K.

Clinton had a similar situation. Some aging vitamin scam artist wanted or got—um, paid for a pardon, and was indicted about the same time frame, again, on the same crime. Guy may have died before his second trial.

Another drug dealer that Obama let out was executed a few days later by some former colleagues.

Usually the way drug dealing works is that the drugs are delivered up front and paid for after they are sold.

I don’t have a problem with communing the sentences of people who have already been in prison for 20+ years for drug dealing. They were punished enough. Incarceration is extremely expensive as well. If some of those people reoffend, so be it.
