I&#x27;m not arguing that some of Obama&#x27;s policy implementations are lacking. But it seems like people are expecting too much out of him.<p>I think that solitary confinement is definitely unethical. But I also think the idea of mass pardons for prisoners if states don&#x27;t reform solitary confinement would be political suicide. Republicans would be running ads saying that Obama wants violent criminals to be released because prison isn&#x27;t comfortable enough. Democrats wouldn&#x27;t support it. And I think it might sink the democratic party&#x27;s chances in the presidential election. Sure there are more things that Obama could have done to solve specific problems. But I don&#x27;t think some complaints would have been fixed under any president.
