Makes sense. This way Obama doesn't have to waste his time by continuing to commute the sentences of individual drug dealers, as he's been doing, instead he can offer a big broad spectrum pardon for all the oppressed criminals.
Jesse Jackson Jr. urged President Barack Obama Thursday to pardon millions of former prison inmates...
In his open letter to the president, which Jackson posted to his Facebook page early Thursday morning, the former congressman claimed that “the great 2016 pardoning of the masses will create a resounding echo in history and will mark you as the greatest Christian president ever to serve.”
“Truly, Mr. President, with a presidential pardon equally monumental to, and greater in scope than, the Emancipation Proclamation the legacy of Barack Hussein Obama II will be one of faith, hope and love,” he added.
Jesse Jackson's noble call though is inhibited only by the fact that this pardon would apply to him stealing campaign funds to buy a Michael Jackson fedora.
Jackson pled guilty in 2013 to charges he illegally spent campaign fund on a variety of expensive items, like a $4,600 fedora owned by Michael Jackson and a $1,200 reversible mink parka
...and...
His wife, Sandi Jackson, pleaded guilty to tax fraud in 2013, a charge that stemmed from the same case. She was released from prison earlier this year. Jackson Jr.’s relationship status on Facebook is listed as “separated.”
Yes, pardoning all the criminals so they can go on voting Democrat would be just like the Emancipation Proclamation. Also I like the way he spells out Barack Hussein Obama II. As if he's an emperor. And such a pardon would very much be an imperial act.
