''President Obama has commuted the sentences of a record number of HIGH LEVEL drug traffickers''

Just hear this straight from the mouth of doom at his current campaign rant.....CSPAN

now he's going on about ''tens of thousands of drug dealers being released early.'' he began the sentence with a castigation of the 'worst period' in FBI history

guess he never heard about the Hoover/Nixon era

where does one go to fact check the assertion in the OP?

it looks like he's unshackled again, cause his stream of consciousness is STRONG. must be taking double shots of that propecia for the id upon which he seems to be jonesing

he looks to be rising to the heights of his crazed lunacy from August, in Cincinnati and Indiana, when he started naming all the college FB and BB coaches who just loved him, among other diatribes

those were the best, along with stuff like this:



he just said, "our veterans, in many cases, aren't treated as well as illegal aliens. these are our best people.....lots of problems"

his default position is to lie, even about his height, to which he routinely adds at least an inch

don't forget the size of his..........

There are strings attached to these commutations.

This one guy, with six years left in his sentence, figures he can get out in three years with good time, but doesn't want to have to be placed into a two year residential drug program:

Arnold Ray Jones, who was convicted for drug trafficking, was one of the lucky ones. This summer, Jones was given clemency by President Barack Obama that would have allowed him out of jail in two years, instead of the six left in his sentence.

But Jones refused.

That’s because along with the promise of a shorter sentence comes a condition: Drug offenders offered commuted sentences must enroll in a residential drug treatment program. Jones’ record shows that previous treatment programs were unsuccessful at kicking his crack cocaine addiction.
