Obama - Criminals #1 Buddy

In an Investors Business Daily editorial leads one to believe that Barack Hussein Obama says on his website, “a strong proponent of tougher measures to fight crime” but I couldn’t find anywhere on the Obama 08 site where crime and punishment are addressed. I’d like to know where the writer got the info so I can see for myself where Barack Hussein Obama buried that fiction.

I say fiction because according to the IBD editorial Obama is far from what the quote says.

From IBD:

As an Illinois state senator, for example, he acted more as a friend to criminals than to cops, legislating among other things:

Curbs on what he called a “broken” death penalty system.

A measure to expunge some criminal records and give job grants to ex-cons.

Tougher handgun controls.

A vote against making gang members eligible for the death penalty if they kill someone to help their gang.

Opposition to a bill requiring juveniles to be prosecuted as adults for firing a gun at or near a school.

At the federal level, Obama would:

Repeal “unfair” mandatory sentences for crack convictions.

Provide drug counseling instead of jail time for some abusers.

Rethink criminal penalties for pot.

Ban profiling by federal law enforcement, even if it helps catch violent criminals including terrorists.

Strengthen hate-crime laws and beef up civil rights enforcement against police chiefs who profile.

Provide job training, drug rehab and counseling for ex-cons.

“Re-enfranchise” felons denied the right to vote.

He wants to repeal the “unfair” mandatory sentences for crack convictions? Why because he’s used the drug? Or could it be that he still cracks up once in a while and don’t want to get thrown into the jug himself?
