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.

>>> Obama: Too many folks in our prisons <<<
Insufficient crime to justify a national police force and UN intervention.
Any other questions?
That grabbed me, too... THEN, talk about giving a second chance. Like maybe Tyrone Howard?
How many days till 1/20/17??? (besides too many)
Not to worry...these are "non-violent" offenders who won't harm you while stealing your property to get a fix.
In the Wake of Proposition 47, California Sees a Crime Wave, August 16, 2016, Debra Saunders, Real Clear Politics.
If Obama doesn't want them in jail, tell them do live clean, honest, productive lives.
Didn’t he spell it “Volk”?
Oh yes, we can solve the illegal immigration problem by making all the invaders legal.
We can solve our drug problem by legalizing drugs.
We can solve economic un-equality by robbing productive folks to enrich po folk.
We can solve Israel’s Pali problem by forcing more Israeli concessions.
I’m sick of O’s brand of problem solving, where the good guys always take it in the back side.
Hah, I can name more than one who should be among that number of incarcerated folks.
Yeah, and a disproportionate number are minorities who committed a crime.
Yeah, Richard Pryor thought the same thing....before he actually visited a prison......then he said “THANK GOD WE GOT PENITENTIARIES!”
Simple solution, execute more prisoners, problem solved.
Really? Their in prison only because they're black, or because they're guilty?
Nope. He'll let them out too.
He wants all non-preferred status Americans to suffer. Thats why he wants to inflict more felons on us.
I agree! Too many whites, and too many people prosecuted for gun crimes! You intend to let them out, right, OTrauma?
Obama makes me cringe when I hear him say “folks”
It once was a decent word now shot to hell
That’s what Marxists do,ruin language,and everything else of course.
Tell your Bros to stop doin’ crimes, ‘Bam. Sheet.
You know his logic no time for a crime note his last seven years got to get the brother back on the streets for his army.
And we have the wrong folks in the White House!
