Lots of payback money from drug dealers at stake.
Obama and Michelle will be in good shape for many years with financial deals like this being done.
It is sickening.

Major cocaine distributor?
Just another one of those minor, non-violent drug offenders who received an unfair sentence.

Its only right. The only reason he received prison time for 210 pounds of cocaine was because he was black.

No one who cares about blacks or inner city youth, or any one who suffers from the effects of crack cocaine would do this. This is NOT a low level, non-violent drug offender. /probably preaching to the choir

He’s got it real tough in that FED luxury pen at Maxwell, AFB. Here's hoping that his next 'stay' is at Angola. Not as swanky.

The Founders should have put a check on presidential pardons. As it it, it is a king-like power, and so it has no place in our Republic.
At the very least, the Senate should have the power to veto any presidential pardon, by perhaps a 2/3 vote.
