Agreed....he pardons a convicted drug dealer that was in possession of $1.25M in cocaine(who happens to sing, but leaves the border agents hanging.....
I’ve had serious issues with Bush on the economy, border control and a host of other issues. I’ve weighed that against the stellar job he has done defending the nation.

Child molesters get sentenced for the dispicable things they have done - but saying a crooked banker or doctor or lawyer isn't deserving of a sentence is pathetic. They can ruin a life just as a violent criminal or a drug dealer/user can ruin the lives of their victims.
No, no one makes another take drugs but they are illegal because people get addicted then steal from others to feed their addictions. It wouldn't matter if they were legal or not, it wouldn't stop the addicts from doing whatever it takes to get the money to buy them.
Prisons are for lawbreakers - and white collar criminals shouldn't get off just because they aren't street thugs. They can cause millions of dollars of damage to innocent people.
