Jesse Jackson Jr. urged President Barack Obama Thursday to pardon millions of former prison inmates...
In his open letter to the president, which Jackson posted to his Facebook page early Thursday morning, the former congressman claimed that "the great 2016 pardoning of the masses will create a resounding echo in history and will mark you as the greatest Christian president ever to serve."
"Truly, Mr. President, with a presidential pardon equally monumental to, and greater in scope than, the Emancipation Proclamation the legacy of Barack Hussein Obama II will be one of faith, hope and love," he added.
Jesse Jackson's noble call though is inhibited only by the fact that this pardon would apply to him stealing campaign funds to buy a Michael Jackson fedora.
