Video | President Obama Visits El Reno Federal Correctional Institution

[sheshe2]

President Obama is the first USA sitting president to tour a USA prison.

And yes; this is on a continuous loop, because, we can’t hear our President speak enough about his visit to this prison, his meeting with the six inmates, and what he’s done to roll back those ridiculous sentences for non-violent drug offenses.

THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT!

4. And his 'cup runneth over.' Love our president.

The 23rd Psalm:

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

~ (KJV) Public Domain

He is fearless doing what he believes is right despite all the malevolence directed his way.

8. Wish they didn't have to loop the word. But I suspect they couldn't show the inmates' faces there.

Hope one day that they will tell us their story, and the story of this meeting. But the loop did cover the real issue, yes, it did.
