Barack Obama has sent a heartwarming letter to a former prisoner he freed, telling her how proud he is of her for turning her life around and graduating college. Obama granted Danielle Metz clemency in 2016—she was arrested in 1993 for drug offenses related to her husband’s cocaine-trafficking ring and was sentenced to three life sentences at the age of 26. After Obama commuted her sentence, she enrolled in Southern University in New Orleans and became a college freshman at the age of 50. She’s now graduated and made the dean’s list, and the man who changed her life is clearly delighted. “I am so proud of you, and am confident that your example will have a positive impact for others who are looking for a second chance,” Obama wrote to Metz in a letter seen by USA Today. “Tell your children I say hello, and know that I’m rooting for all of you.”

1. Yes, a decent man.

2. More than that, the fact that he took the time to keep informed of her progress

and took the time to write to her...A wonderful human being.

3. Handwritten Letter.... Nice touch.

Can't get that from the Orange Idiot who thinks that the Contenental Army took over the airports.

4. not only a great gesture on Obama's part but it will also

add a huge incentive to Ms. Metz to succeed.
Well played.
Another great story from the Obamas.

5. This thoughtful letter makes a very clear comparison for the world to see.

A clear comparison between a real human being, a real President and, sadly that orange turd in the White House.

Congratulations Danielle Metz on your graduation. Best of luck in your future endeavors.


Thank you for sharing your letter from President Barak Obama.
