President Barack Obama’s push for a fairer justice system is literally sending him to prison.
As part of a week-long focus on inequities in the criminal justice system, Obama will meet separately Thursday with law enforcement officials and nonviolent drug offenders who are paying their debt to society at the El Reno Federal Correctional Institution, a medium-security prison for male offenders near Oklahoma City.
He’ll be the first sitting president to see the inside of a federal prison, the White House said. […]
The goal is usually to keep people with criminal histories far away from a president, not to put a president in their midst. But, as much as it may defy logic, the controlled environment of a prison is better than many of the public venues where presidents appear, said Danny Spriggs, a former deputy director of the U.S. Secret Service, which provides the president’s security. …

[He’ll be the first sitting president to see the inside of a federal prison, the White House said.]
Well............
Yeah . . . it seems almost like prognostication when they put it like that.
once he’s in there... can we start the proceedings to determine the length of his stay?
anyone got photos of his visit? The optics
As long as we get rid of him, I don’t care whether he rots in prison. The best possible outcome would be for him to sit at home bitterly watching President Cruz dismantle his entire legacy (even better for him to watch President Cruz happily as he recognizes how wrong he has been to impose big government socialism, but that is not realistic).
“Obama will go to prison”
Unfortunately...probably not.
In some respects, he may have a point. Is there any reason to be giving out decades long sentences for non-violent offences, and in the case of ‘three strikes and your out’ handing out life sentences for petty criminals? Its way over the top compared to the crimes committed, and it smacks of the ‘prison industry’ which donates to politicians giving them a huge conflict of interest when it comes to treating certain offenders as if they were in the same league as rapists and murderers.
My sons...My sons....How the hell are you. Kobi beef all around. Of course....No problem.
I’ve been thinking he will. He will visit him I think almost assuredly.
that headline started out just FINE
He’s going to prison for a week, well... it’s a start
Make it like the Iranian nuke deal, make it so unless a super majority decide to oppose it.
If we currently had a president, this would be worrisome.
They think they’re being cute and funny. Maybe they even actually believe somebody might misinterpret it (a conservative?) and get their hopes up... yep, a real big laugh from a stable of morons.
If Hillary and Barack ever do go to jail, I will visit them every day........and laugh my a$$ off.
There’s a new episode of spongebob this week...
