WASHINGTON, Aug 30 - U.S. President Barack Obama shortened the prison sentences of 111 convicts serving time for drug-related offenses in his second round of clemency grants this month, the White House said on Tuesday. Obama has now granted a total of 673 commutations during his presidency, more than the number granted by the 10 previous presidents combined, as he seeks to reform the criminal justice system, it said.

Jesus will see to that with our help and prayers. Jesus doesn't need our help or prayers; we need Jesus and his help (and our prayers are/should-be acknowledgment of that).

One from the last round murdered a young mother, and her 2 daughters.

Turning felons loose to prey on the community.
Facilitating massive illegal immigration.
Facilitating the transfer of terrorists to the United States.
And now, setting up a situation where hundreds of thousands of Cubans can come here, overstay their visa, and speed up the destruction of our nation.

I don’t know which guy reminds me most of Senator Palpateene, Obama or McCain.
They both fight for the position constantly.

That Obama would empty the prisons before leaving office was one of my original greatest fears about him becoming President.
Why not just defy the bastard. What is he going to do?

We aint seen nuthin yet with respect to pardons. He is going to take the pardon power to undreamed of levels before he leaves office, mark my words. Bump!
I was recently rereading Barbara Olsens's book The Final Days. She spends quite a few pages discussing clemency and pardons given by Billy Bob. Bet nobama makes him look like a slacker.
Just the list of Killary and her minions will take pages and pages.

He is a dolt. Yes, he’s doing part of it on purpose. So did Carter with the Shah and the Ayatollahs.
They do this stuff, and really have no idea what it will result in.
Obams is turning this world into a very dangerous place, and his daughters and their children will have to live in it.
So yes, he is doing what he wants, but he hasn’t a single clue how badly this will turn out for his family on down the line.
He is an idiot.
