Former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife Sandi Jackson leave the federal court house after being sentenced to prison, August 14, 2013 in Washington, DC. Jackson was sentenced to 30 months in prison for using $750, 000 in campaign money to pay for living expenses and luxury items. His wife received a 12-month prison term.
Jesse Jackson Jr. urged President Barack Obama Thursday to pardon millions of former prison inmates, a group that would include Jackson and his wife, former Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson.
In his open letter to the president, which Jackson posted to his Facebook page early Thursday morning, the former congressman claimed that the great 2016 pardoning of the masses will create a resounding echo in history and will mark you as the greatest Christian president ever to serve.

Isn’t he in jail himself?
Castro redux.
Rather than release them to sail here they are already here.
Jist unlock the cell doors.
Communism at its finest
Yes he was. He and his wife want to run public office again.
I am rather certain that Jesus had something OTHER than chutzpah in mind when he was preaching on forgiveness. Jesse Jr would love to follow in the footsteps of Marion Bradley and return to 'public' service!
I’m told JJJr’s rationale is that since millions of babies have been murdered without so much as a slap on the wrist to the mother (the perp) or the abortion mill (the accessory), it is therefore a gross miscarriage of justice to incarcerate these people for equal or lesser crimes.
Will Obama listen? Or will he ignore him?
Sent the Jacksons to Cuba, one-way tickets.
LOL!
Hey Junior... barry is a MUSLIM! The best way for him NOT to do what you want is to say it’ll make him look like a great CHRISTIAN.
What a boob.
JJ wants to add millions of voters back to the rolls; I guess they realize the voter fraud issue isn’t going away. If these are “ex-inmates” I’d imagine most are felons.
I assume this will let them buy guns as well...
These people should be thrown out of a plane, but yet they keep bringing them back to do more harm.
Like a clock.
I called this one two years ago.
Obama will pardon ALL African-American federal convicts.
“Obama will pardon ALL African-American federal convicts.”
Does anyone have the racial stats on the cons pardoned so far? My theory is, Caucasians, if present, will be in the minority.
yes he will.
Jesse Jackson Jr could star in the black version movie of Being There.
“...and will mark you as the greatest Christian president ever to serve.
Obama would recoil at that legacy.
All new victims to be raped and murdered. The Dems will never win another election.
Millions, huh. Lemme guess. They’re all black druggies and/or black politicians and/or blacks who attacked crazy a$$ed crackers.
I wish Obama HAD spent a couple years doing just this. It would have been within the Constitution and taken up time from his other clearly illegal go-arounds of the Constitution.
So, Obama WILL pardon all his son's. I'm sure!
