Obama's veiw on the Death Penalty

Obama is against the death penalty. He is not only against it but he is trying to reform the whole thing. Obama is a state senator and as the Illinois state senator he was a key part of the change in the state law on the death penalty. Before he came along the death penalty was aloud and many man that were later found some men were killed but then it was found that the men were not guilty. Obama helped a lot of people on death row in 2003. The changes enacted in 2003 reformed a system that had sent 13 people to death row, only to have them released because they were later determine to be innocent or had been convicted using improper methods. Obama Is in the right here I also think that there should not be a death penalty. There is no reason to kill someone half of the time the men that would have be let go because the law system messed up so where is now dead and the is no way to bring them back and say “o my bad you are really didn’t do it.”
They had sent 13 innocent men to death row but because he had the law changed around he was able to save them and let them go free and live their lives. He became really personally involved and he refused to abandon some needed changes but also demanded compromises from the death penalty critics and the police. He would keep them there as long as he could Obama was going to make sure that if they were going to put someone to death that he really deserved it and it was not a mistake. I really like the fact the he care about what happens to every person that could be put to death. It is a true sign of leader ship and compassion because he will never leave a man behind.
Obama is a good man that cares about the small people and that is the kind of person that we need in the white house. He does believe that there should be some kind of Capital punishment. But he says that we must be sure that we have the right person and that we are not making any mistakes when are going to kill a person. I really like the way that Obama take care of himself and his state. He has some great idea and beliefs that some day may give this country the help that we desperately need.
