At the time of this
writing, President Barack Obama has 120 days and some hours left in his two-term
presidency. Compared to other such U.S.
Presidents, Mr. Obama can easily be called the Anti-Freedom President when it
comes to Pardons and Commutations. With
six months to go he ranked among the worst U.S. Presidents ever all the way
back to George Washington. To rid
himself of that distinction he quickly freed a few wrongly accused citizens to
get his total up to around 218. He has
promised thousands more but such rhetoric is unattainable in the wake of resignations
in key departments overseeing the matter.
Nevertheless, most of what Mr. Obama has given are commutations. He commuted sentences rather than give full
pardons. Obama continues to rank with Washington at the bottom
with regards to Presidential Pardons. A great historic General, G.W. was fresh off a battlefield and so has an excuse. Mr. Obama shall find no excuses in this lifetime.
Jimmy Carter 1977-1981 566
Bill Clinton 1991-2003 456
Ronald Reagan 1981-1989 406
George W. Bush 2001-2009 176
Barack Obama 2009-2017 64
If he's
undertaking to do pardons, and he's looking to do as many as his predecessors,
he's going to have to scramble in the last six months...
—Margaret Love , U.S.
Pardon Attorney under George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations.
Deboran Leff, the Pardon Attorney under
Obama, resigned almost in protest to ridiculous expectations placed on her
office by Mr. Obama in the eleventh hour of his presidency. He has had plenty of time to let freedom ring in his tired administration especially when we compare him to one-term President
Jimmy Carter.
Once again Mr. Obama has no one to blame
but himself nose-diving to another low milestone as worst U.S. President of Pardons. It should not be surprising that Obama is so
anti-freedom when we remember Eric
Snowden and the other famous Whistleblowers responsible for pulling the
curtain behind the phony smiles spying on Americans by the Obama
administration.
Speaking of Mr. Snowden, one has to
wonder why Obama will not grant a real American one little pardon when he
promised 11 million illegal immigrants pardons.
Maybe it has something to do with the crime. Still, kind of strange when you realize that
a new movie is on the way directed by Oliver Stone dramatizing the life of a
real American hero now hiding in Moscow and as we all know Hollywood Liberals
love Democrats to death. One has to
wonder if President Obama is not an incredible hypocrite and anti-freedom.
Perhaps our President is taken away from pardons and freedom campaigning so much for Hillary Clinton. He has promised to move to Canada if Donald Trump is elected President. Promises, promises, promises, it is a cruel broken record voters must listen to called status-quo.
