Ohio Speaker: Obama Should Get ’25-to-Life’ | At a Republican Party event in Akron, OH, Ohio House Speaker William Batchelder (R) joked that President Obama should be sent to prison. “The liberals are asking us to give Obama more time,” Batchelder said in an apparent reference to the president’s campaign, “and I think 25-to-life would be a good start.” Interestingly, Batchelder is a former judge, and his wife is arguably the most powerful judge in the state of Ohio, Chief Judge Alice Batchelder of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
