Breaking News: Obama Going to Federal Prison
breitbart ^ | 7/10/15 | c spierling

Posted on 07/10/2015 5:31:46 PM PDT by bestintxas

President Obama is going to federal prison in Oklahoma next week — to visit the facility and talk about reforming America’s criminal justice system.

Vice Media will be attending the event, featuring the president in an HBO special with CEO Shane Smith, marking the first sitting United States president to visit a federal prison.

The event will take place at the El Reno federal prison, which houses 1,300 inmates. According to a news release, Obama is expected to meet with prisoners, prison staff, and law enforcement officials.

“There’s an emerging consensus in this country — on both the right and the left — that the way we treat criminal offenders is utterly broken and weakening our society in profound ways,” Smith said in a statement. “Visiting El Reno with President Obama — the first-ever visit to a federal prison by a sitting president — will give our viewers a firsthand look into how the president is thinking about this problem, from the policy level down to one on one conversations with the men and women living this reality. It’s going to be fascinating.”

Smith, who has hired former Obama “body man” Reggie Love and former Obama Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco has enjoyed an unprecedented level of media access from the White House.

OK, the headline did provide a glimmer of HOPE for a CHANGE. But then, almost immediately, the rather erudite thought, “as if,” dashed my hopes.

Then, I read the first couple sentences.

Leave it to Breitbart to phrase things so as to create click-bait.

Maybe a prison riot will take TOTUS* hostage and leave Obama speechless.

*The Teleprompter of The United States, for those who have forgotten.

Haven’t heard anything recently about his teleprompter use.

Couldn’t believe the time he needed a teleprompter when he spoke to a classroom of elementary school students.

Not only that, but he will give them back the right to vote from behind prison walls. Don’t worry, the prisoners he meets with will be hand-selected. It would be a darned shame if one got through security though. He wants to address his fellow Muslims and brothers who are now behind bars - who are, of course, all innocent, and need to be released. That’s what this is leading up to - releasing more felons from prison and more Democratic voters.

I kinda want to cry. Talk about click bait. :( Possibly the cruelest headline I’ve ever seen.

Just watch any speech. His head still bounces left to right like he is watching a tennis match. He is a good reader. Anyone can be by practicing and pausing at appropriate emphasis points.
Personally, I prefer someone to look at me when speaking.
Maybe he should move or add a Totus to center front.
Zer0 makes me sick to my stomach. But, the national nightmare will be over soon.
