Quote:Actually, he is pretty open about his opinions in The Audacity of Hope (which I highly recommend -- he is a good thinker and presents his case well). What we have yet to see is how much political capital he is willing to spend to change the situation and how successful his attempts (if any) will be. Given the magnitude and immediacy of the other problems facing him, this one may get short shrift.
I sent the White house a letter today pretty much summing up what I've said here, specifically please look into the Troy Davis case, and more generally I believe we need to roll back some of the broad brush bad justice reforms from the past decades which are sweeping up young black men into prison.
