How much are you willing to wager that none of Obummer's grants will ever be arrested again?Their future crimes too will be a big part of Obummer's legacy.WH Boasts: Obama Commuted More Criminal Sentences ‘Than Last 11 Presidents Combined’
(CNSNews.com) - The White House is boasting that with the 153 federal inmates that President Barack Obama granted clemency yesterday, Obama has now commuted more criminal sentences than all the presidents going back to Harry Truman combined.
“Today, the president commuted the sentences of 153 people, bringing his total number of commuted sentences to 1,176 people,” says a graphic at the top of the White House home page. “That’s more than the last 11 presidents combined.”
“With today’s 153 commutations, the president has now commuted the sentences of 1,176 individuals, including 395 life sentences,” Eggleston wrote. “The president also granted pardons to 78 individuals, bringing his total number of pardons to 148. Today’s acts of clemency — and the mercy the president has shown his 1,324 clemency recipients — exemplify his belief that America is a nation of second chances.”

That last sentence just kills me. There is not one honorable bone in the body of that phony coward. (IMO) Even the Kenyans don’t want to claim him as their native son. Maybe the guy is just a puppet taking orders (from global powers) and has no choice in all this. In that case, I owe Mr. Obama a heartfelt apology.

Really? What future crimes? Perhaps you are not aware of the restrictions on who can get clemency?
Under the new initiative, the Department will prioritize clemency applications from inmates who meet all of the following factors:
- They are currently serving a federal sentence in prison and, by operation of law, likely would have received a substantially lower sentence if convicted of the same offense(s) today;
- They are non-violent, low-level offenders without significant ties to large scale criminal organizations, gangs or cartels;
- They have served at least 10 years of their prison sentence;
- They do not have a significant criminal history;
- They have demonstrated good conduct in prison; and
- They have no history of violence prior to or during their current term of imprisonment.

No one can guarantee that. Just as you can't guarantee there will be future crimes. But given the restrictions placed on clemency - we're not talking mother rapers, father stabbers, pedophiles, gang and cartel members....we're talking about low level crimes who would have received reduced sentences had they been convicted today. Prisons are overcrowded.
