Obama's freudian slip


Obama: “We should be reforming our criminal justice system in such a way that we are not incarcerating nonviolent offenders in ways that renders them incapable of getting a job after they leave office”

They ... or their grandchildren's grandchildren ... should never have to bother
with a steady job ever again. Not after the way Cheney and his monkey did.

But just as an aside, I saw him in 2008 at one of his town meetings....The only Q he bombed on was when a large black man asked him what he would do as president to help people like himself who had served their time in jail, but were unable to secure a job once back in society.

Obama's response was, "My advice is to not get arrested to begin with." Next...

That was in Raleigh, NC.
