Answer: The correct answer is : Barack Obama

Explanacion: It was a congressional law signed by Obama on August 3, 2010. This law eliminates the difference between the sentences for crack and cocaine. For 20 years, possession of 5 grams of crack cocaine had a sentence of 5 years in prison and 500 grams of powdered cocaine would be needed to generate the same sentence.
