President Obama commuted the sentence of 46 convicted drug offenders July 13. He then went to Oklahoma July 15 to visit a Federal Prison and talk about the incarcerated people. “When they describe their youth and their childhood, these are young people who made mistakes that aren’t that different than the mistakes I made,” Obama said.
From Breitbart: Since President Obama commuted the life sentence of Jason Hernandez, the former inmate says he feels like he has been reborn.
“I was practically a dead man walking and President Obama gave me my life back,” Hernandez said in an interview with KFOR News. “I see him like a father now. Like any son, you want to make your father proud, and that’s what my aim is.”
Which leads to this Limerick:
Obama is going to jail
to make all the drug dealers hail:
“May Obama long live!
Our allegiance we give.”
He’s Godfather Drug-lord for sale.
