President Obama on Monday pardoned 78 people and granted another 153 commutations, amounting to the most acts of clemency granted by a U.S. president ever in a single day.

White House Counsel Neil Eggleston announced the decisions in an official blog post. He described all the individuals being pardoned or seeing their sentences shortened as “deserving.”

Obama is focusing primarily on shortening sentences of those convicted of drug offenses. I guess this makes sense, here's a president that spent years in a drug induced haze and he was rewarded with 8 years in the White House.

Was he feeling guilty?

What proof do you have? Obama is no drunk like GWB was.
Proof? Obama admitted he "spent years in a drug induced haze" in his book. You voted for him twice and you didn't know he fried his brain on drugs? That explains it....

Racially disparate drug sentences are part of the white nationalist agenda. "Lock her up" is the white nationalist solution to democratic elections. The prison-industrial complex is right up there with Pentagon spending as a way to create good union jobs with great benefits and no more skills requirement than the ability to get the key in the lock. No wonder conservatives love the industry! The thirty or forty grand it costs each year to lock some kid up for a bag of dope helps tighten up the labor market for minimum wage jobs. This is the social program of reaganomics. No wonder...

The first black President issues more pardons and commutes more sentences on his way out of office than any President in history.

Who could have seen this coming? :sarcasmalert:

Seriously, what is he having as the last meal at the White House? Fried chicken and watermelon? :lol: :cheers:

To be honest though, I have no problem with most of these. The war on drugs is a waste of money.

Thanks to Hillary's epic loss the Clinton's have some very unhappy customers. They were offering one free pardon as a bonus for a contribution to the Clinton Charities. Keep in mind this did not constitute pay-to-play.

Nah, I made a racist joke about a President who is evidently using race as part of his pardoning decision matrix.

I grew up in the south, I know far worse jokes.

For example, I was once told by a friend that he had black folks in his family tree. He then pointed toward the back door and said "As a matter of fact, if you look out back they might still be swinging". The same guy's best friend is a black guy named Joe. Just because you know the racist jokes does not mean you hate people of other races. The Joe's kids call my friend uncle Max and they are closer with Max's kids than most cousins I know.

I can do jokes about rednecks going to the family reunion in order to find a wife it that makes you feel better. I have quite literally had someone tell me "Hey, hold my beer" right before doing something idiotic.

If you don't want to be made fun of as a stereotype then don't do stereotypical things.

Incidentally, I happen to like fried chicken and watermelon. Not together necessarily but the watermelon could make a nice desert. My daughter is fond of fried chicken and waffles with hot sauce in the syrup.

BTW, yes I know that Obama is probably not using race in his decision matrix. It just looks that way due to statistically higher participation in then prison community by people of African American decent.

Latinos claim they are more often suspected of being here illegally.....

Italians used to claim they were unfairly associated with organized crime....

The Irish used to complain about being characterized as drunks....

African Americans are tired of being associated with crime and violence....

So you are saying if I were looking for a terrorist I should probably look for a arab male between the ages of 16 and 35 as opposed to a 78 year old white woman who is wheelchair bound with a breathing disorder?

Fascinating.

At the risk of being labeled a racist, homophobic, misogynist pig I would have to go with the odds and say yes.

Facts are often racist, that's why our liberal friends avoid them at all costs.

Touche

Although I voted against Obama twice and reluctantly voted for Trump over Clinton. So, in the eyes of most on the left I am already a racist, misogynist, homophobic, earth hating Nazi. Might as well have fun with it. :cheers:


BTW, Joe voted for Trump. :usasmile:
