OBAMA'S PARDON LIST...

[Whirlaway]

It is getting near the end of our national nightmare; it is about this time in a president's tenure that he starts to compile his midnight hour "pardon list".

I suspect that Obama will push the envelope far beyond previous presidents - in total number and characters. Clinton pardoned terrorists and tax cheats. How extreme will the Obama pardons be?

Who/how many you think will be on Obama's pardon list?

To date, Obama has pardoned very few.

He has already pardoned a turkey.

Philadelphia Cop Killer Mumia Abu-Jamal -?

GITMO detainees (an easy way to close it and deliver on his 2008 promise)?

I expect to see a last minute pardon for Lois Peltier of AIM standoff fame.
Don't know if he is guilty or not, but I know First Nations groups have been lobbying for such.

That's Leonard Peltier, and it should happen.

A (posthumous) pardon for Jeffrey Dahmer, certainly. The guy seemed really, really gay.

ms 13 members who can prove ...and I quote from official white house drafts of the legal document..."they had at least one tattoo done in the united states by a valid receipt from either a tattoo parlor or done by a ball point pen purchased in the united states or, in the alternative, by affirmative verbal statement such had occurred"

Would this be similar to the 189 convicted criminals who were on SHRUBBIE'S PARDON LIST???

It should be noted that many of the 189 convicted criminals pardoned by Shrubbie were done at the end of "our national nightmare" that resulted from 2 unfunded wars, 4500+ American deaths, tens of thousands of other American casualties, and eventually resulted in the worst economic disaster in the US since The Great Depression.

The above is a true definition of a friggin' "national nightmare!"

FACT JACK

Damned, that broken record again. Let it go Tampon. Its in the past now.

Those 189 people had already served their sentences nimrod. We are talking about some people (Obama's people) that have not even been found guilty yet. So a pardon would serve to pay them off for their silence. But if you want to go down the list of Bush pardons and make you look stupid at the same time, we can accomodate you Tampon. Actually, lets talk about the 19 that Bush pardoned on the way out the door. That is what we're really talking about Tampon. Those that are getting pardoned as Obama leaves office and not those in between which is what most of Bush's are. So your list of 189 drops to 19. Not going to say that you were lying by omission but you know....
