Deals with the government are done under Section 5(k) of the USSC Guidelines. Never gets to the White House - it's handled by a District Court Judge.

Of the many things Obama has done, including being buddies with a terrorist state like Iran and a communist country like Cuba, freeing all of these felons is one of his more egregious acts against the safety of America. You can add freeing terrorists from Gitmo to that list as well, many of whom going back to killing Americans.

It became clear a long time ago that Obama has no sympathy or cares about the American people. He cares more about illegal aliens and Muslim refugees than our own citizens and he can't be gone soon enough for my liking.

Ever look at that and just wonder????
Be careful throwing race into this mix. For lots of reasons, that skews the argument into 'untrue' land.

For example, in 1985, I was running a drug squad in South Florida. Jesse Jackson was on the evening news leading marches in Miami about how the white drug dealers were destroying black neighborhoods with this new thing called 'base rock' cocaine (crack). Only problem was, there weren't any white crack dealers. Every dealer we knew about was black (the Latinos didn't touch crack). That minor fact didn't stop the community activists from getting President Clinton to sign the Crime Control Act in 1994 as a measure to stop whites from exploiting blacks. But the result was that most of the crack dealers sentenced were black.

I would steer clear of anything racial in this debate. Too many pitfalls for me - and I was there.

My point was made.... whenever anybody of any race (you don't know mine - I don't know yours - ) says anything negative about BHO, they are labeled a racist... I think the guy's a bozo - and he couldn't properly manage a lemonade stand - and my saying that I'll have racial spears thrown at me left and right.... but that's ok... anyone throwing them doesn't know me - who I am or why I think that... bottom line is because, it's the truth. I'll be more than happy in knowing when this community organizer is out of 1600.... good riddance!

Obviously I paid more attention to the truth and facts than you managed, understandable.

Presidential Pardons
Your 'source' (undated of course) says the "educate yourself" Obama pardon total is 64.
I hate to bust your little bubble, but even the White House doesn't agree with you - a few days ago, they announced an additional 78 Presidential Pardons and 158 commutations.

Obama's record is "Grand Legacy" impressive -- his totals are more than the last 10 Presidents combined

Poor guy has to find his "Grand Legacy" wherever he can. Letting criminals & terrorists out of prison seems a reasonable place to start/finish.

I hope as soon as he bails out of 1600, he'll go on a search for it. Maybe he could call OJ; it'll be with the killer of his ex-wife.
He could always go back to his roots and search for it in Keyna?...

and now look at how many commuted sentences he's given....
Run and hide all you want but he's commuted more than any president in history... that's 43 others, if you lost count.
Oh, and check your link - it's now no longer valid... I wonder why?????
