That’s fantastic!

Attaboy. Pardon or commute “Chelsea” (Bradley) Manning, a spy who endangered our boys in Afghanistan; Guantanamo terrorist inmates; unrepentant terrorist Oscar López Rivera, leader of terrorist group that bombed public buildings and murdered innocents and convicted of trying to overthrow the government; “manufacturers” and sellers of cocaine and methamphetamines - within protected (school) districts... He would’ve pardoned presidential assassins John Wilkes Booth, Harvey Oswald, Charles J. Guiteau, and Leon Czolgosz.
Shut the door on the way out.
Obama is a fu**ing bigot, he let out some Mexican drug kingpins this week.
Same as his refusals for refugee status to persecuted Christians from Syria and elsewhere.
FUBO, worst president EVER.
