What is Bad About Obama

[AnotherMcIntosh]

73. While Obama has been in office, millionaire banksters got 'get-out-of-jail-free' cards. It's been

in the news. This has been a continuation of the Bush policies. When TARP was passed, Bush got to distribute $350 billion while another $350 billion was reserved for Obama so that he could distribute it after taking office.

In contrast, small-time pot smokers have been arrested, prosecuted, and sent to jail or prison. In response to Yep's post which pointed to the irony of this and said "Millions of small time pot smokers have gone to jail," you've ignored the irony and sought to trivialize the disparate treatment by limiting your consideration of the pot prosecutions and incarcerations that have only occurred on Obama's watch. Even so, the FBI statistics which you reject, show that there have been more than a million pot-related prosecutions after he took office.

It is, however, a fact that his Administration has chosen to prosecute those involved with pot as opposed to the super-rich banksters. The banksters have been given de facto immunity, and governmental funds, while pot users have been criminalized.
