Semi-retired President Obama moves further to destroy this country.
Next step, mandating private businesses do the same thing.
OBAMA TO SIGN ORDER FORCING GOVERNMENT TO HIRE CONVICTS...WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

Ever in search of benefits to hand leftist constituencies, Democrats have decided to give goodies to their most natural constituency of all: criminals. According to the Associated Press, President Obama will announce executive orders Monday attempting to prevent screening for prior criminality in government hiring.
The so-called “ban the box” program would prevent government agencies from asking about criminal history until later in the interview process. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Vermont Senator Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16%
(D-Loonbag), and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley have all joined Obama in calling for banning “the box” – meaning the check box for criminal conviction. Obama also wants to prevent public housing from hindering the ability for convicted criminals to gain access to subsidies.
So, in short, we all get to hire unhireable employees with criminal backgrounds, and subsidize those who wouldn’t be able to find housing because they have committed crimes.
All of this merely represents the latest in a string of attempts by Democrats to reach out to those at odds with law enforcement. Last summer, Obama visited a federal prison, where he told prisoners that as a former user of both marijuana and cocaine, he could have ended up in prison, too. “These are young people who made mistakes that aren’t that different from mistakes I made,” Obama said. “The difference is they did not have the support structure, the second chances, the resources that would allow them to survive these mistakes.”

Typical of the FAR LEFT PROGRESSIVES who want to make everyone in prison...VICTIMS.
These are NOT simple users. Far fewer than 1% of Federal Prisoners are in prison because of simply possession. There are hard core, heavy weight dealers.
To say they are not violent criminals is to deny reality.
Next step, mandating private businesses do the same thing.
