Reply #161: so you thought that Obama shouldn't have called the owner?

Back to the original report: "President Obama explained that a level playing field rarely exists for prisoners who have completed their sentences. Vick’s success gives all of them hope." As I've seen in the response 'round here picking Vick, whose path to re-employment is easier than what the average American can do, was a pretty poor example for Obama to address the problem of post-release unemployment and recidivism. Also an unresolved issue: Vick's supposed lack of reconsideration re his dogs as the rescuer contends.

So should Obama have called the Eagles owner at all, not just to thank the owner (maybe as a sports fan, I don't know why he'd call to begin with) but also to address the prison/unemployment issue?
