Theyd set up a parade for Obama in Dallas in a droptop Caddy if he even has a thought of stiffing banks out of that much money.

Obama Grants Clemency For Drug Offenders, Including Four Who Were Set To Die Behind Bars
Obama has taken heat for not making full use of his clemency and pardoning powers, and the Justice Department's Office of the Pardon Attorney has similarly been criticized for the way it has handled cases. Obama has now commuted the sentences of 18 people, which a White House official noted was more than either President Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush commuted during their administrations.
Deputy Attorney General James Cole said in a statement that the eight people granted clemency on Wednesday were "sentenced under outdated and unfair laws" and that all of them met the criteria of the clemency initiative that was announced back in April. The program aims to decrease lengthy sentences for non-violent drug offenders and shrink the country's surging prison population.
Each of the eight individuals, Cole said, are "non-violent, low-level offenders who have no significant criminal history nor ties to gangs or organized crime." They have all served at least 10 years in prison already, and have behaved well while behind bars, he added.
Additionally, Obama granted pardons to 12 individuals convicted of possessing an unregistered distilling apparatus, manufacturing marijuana, violating the Archaeological Resources Protection Act and other charges.

More than 1,100 religious leaders from 40 faith groups have endorsed a letter to Congress in support of a reform bill on federal drug cases.
Faith communities fear that long sentences for drug offenses will negatively affect individuals, families and communities, the Faith in Action Criminal Justice Reform Working Group said in a press release. The Smarter Sentencing Act (S 1410/HR 3382) proposes reducing mandatory-minimum sentences for federal drug offenses, which would address prison overcrowding, and is currently awaiting a Senate vote.
There are currently more than 217,000 federal prisoners, the press release notes, nearly half of whom are incarcerated for drug offenses.

He's done plenty for minority owned and women owned businesses. He hasn't helped the lazy minorities who've looked for handouts.
