then went to the parking lot of a food market to buy more than 2 pounds of cocaine.

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.

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.
