WASHINGTON – In a last major act as president, Barack Obama cut short the sentences of 330 federal inmates convicted of drug crimes on Thursday, bringing his bid to correct what he's called a systematic injustice to a climactic close.
With his final offer of clemency, Obama brought his total number of commutations granted to 1,715, more than any other president in U.S. history, the White House said. During his presidency Obama ordered free 568 inmates who had been sentenced to life in prison.

(1) Gitmo detainees
(2) Federal prisoners: (a) Political, like Manning and the Puerto Rican terrorist, and whoever else Obama lets out in the next 19 hours, 47 minutes. (b) Drug. (c) Other crimes.
(3) 2008 financial crisis. One column listing the financial institutions fined. Another column listing the persons convicted: NOBODY indicted. Attorneys General Holder and Lynch ran out the clock on the statute of limitations.
Our son was a victim of a very violent assault... pretty much attempted murder. The perp got 10 years and will probably be getting out soon. The Assistant DA said that as much as she could get on a plea bargain. I was okay with it. So sale of marijuana over ten years.... let him go. I also have a Facebook friend who got caught up in addiction and got slammed with the three strike thing in CA. He’s out now. I hope he’s clean and sober. So I don’t know these case by case. I’m sure that the guy in the article is most sympathetic. But if they were non-violent drug dealers and behaved in prison then ten years is enough IMHO.
Except for golf and basketball brackets, Obama has little interest in anything except drugs, homsexuals and other sexual deviates, Islam, anti-white racism and screwing over the USA and Israel.
Filthy bastard!
No Blago yet?
If he pardons himself, and leaves Chillary out to dry, it would be the funniest as well as the most embarrassing presidential act in history. At this point, absolutely nothing he does would surprise me.
He can do a lot more in the next 19 hours.
Oh, so they were all black then?
Exactly. Yet the libtards will fail to understand (once again) the inherent racism of Obama's actions. He's turning loose thousands of black crooks and criminals to once again infest the minority neighborhoods and ghettoes with more crime and social unrest.
The KKK acouldn't have done a finer job at tearing down the black social structures.
Time to start the Obama Body Count.
Every time a drug thug released by Obama causes the death of some other individual Trump needs to tweet the stat.
He really has no choice, I doubt the Secret Service will continue to supply him with drugs after the inauguration
Sickening.
What is always reported is “he’s just a drug dealer.”
COMPLETELY ignoring that you don’t get a life sentence for being a drug dealer. You get it for being involved with violent gangs, violating laws several times, assaults, and untold death and carnage from dealing.
Last year there was a new report that said “Man killed by police for broken headlight.” UH NO! He got pulled over for a broken headlight but decided to attack the cops and grab the cop’s gun.
What is truly amazing is obama reviewed 1,715 files and without any doubt determined there was systemic injustice in everyone of those cases???
It took a jury and weeks, possibly months, to go through the trial process.
Some of them must have been denied parole several times?
But obama was able to see through all that, and without a shadow of doubt, know they were not given fair trails and or sentences?
And between vacations,too!
I know what you mean.
It disgusts me based on what you’ve stated that is true.
Well, at least he has finally, finally found something he can accomplish...undoing the Law of the Land. What a curse on America he has been. Thank God he will be gone in a matter of hours. Complete LOSER!!
How are the MSM (Obama Cheerleaders) rationalizing this? If it were Trump doing this their heads would be exploding. Remember his “last” press conference? No not this last “last” one, the one or two before that, when the Obama was congratulating them by telling them they kept him honest by holding his feet to the fire. Are they holding his feet to the fire on this unimaginable amount of drug dealers he just let off scott free?
You are right on all points. I had pot dealers in my cab.
They were mean and vicious. Not “non violent” criminals.
Also, 1,715 are the ones he gave pardons..how many did he review..i am guessing 1,717?
