Who is disappointed with Obama's reelection? Jewish prisoners

Who is particularly disappointed by Obama's reelection? Orthodox prisoners that will not receive a pardon.

In fact, the election of an American president or another, does not affect the life of the day to day American citizens in general and the orthodox community in particular.

Ultimately, the ultra-Orthodox activists have always known how to work their way to the offices of influential politicians in Washington.

But those who regret the election results are the ultra-Orthodox prisoners incarcerated in federal prisons and their families.

This is because in the United States, a retiring President overwhelmingly pardons prisoners.

For example, former President Bill Clinton gave 12 years ago, at the end of his term, a pardon to Chasiday Square functionaries who had served prison sentences for fraud offenses. Chasiday Square Rebbe even went to Washington for this purpose.

Even now, the prisoners hoped to receive a pardon from the retired president, including the prisoner Jonathan Pollard, and many others, amongst them Rabbi Shalom Rubashkin who was sentenced to 27 years in prison.

Rubashkin family hoped that the retiring President Obama will sign the pardon or give a lighter sentence, after all legal attempts to appeal for leniency and the sentence failed, but in vain.
