What does BHO really think about the death penalty?

Candidate Obama has been sucking up to the blood-sucking death penalty supporters.

He would kill Osama Bin Laden.

He would kill child rapists, even though they have killed nobody.

However, that same article covers Obama's efforts AGAINST the death penalty, back before he was Candidate Obama.

In the Illinois legislature, he pushed reforms to the state's capital punishment system to prevent innocent people from being executed. The reforms, after a series of exonerations through DNA and other evidence, included requiring police to videotape interrogations to prevent coerced confessions. Obama also opposed a bill to make it easier to sentence murderers involved in gang activity to get the death penalty.

And, how about this straight-forward answer to a 1996 questionnaire?

Both versions of the 1996 questionnaires provide answers his presidential campaign disavows to questions about whether Obama supports capital punishment and state legislation to “ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.” He responded simply “No” and “Yes,” respectively, to those questions on both questionnaires.

Verdict: Obama's current position is that he doesn't like the death penalty but supports it for the most heinous crimes. I actually found evidence of him holding this position as far back as 2004, in his debate with Alan Keyes. But he isn't as bloodthirsty as he acts. In 1996, he was against the death penalty. He still mentions that there is no deterrent factor, even while supporting it, in his book, Audacity for Hope. I think it's safe to say that Secret Obama is not a barbarian who supports the death penalty, even if Candidate Obama is.
