"its becuz he knows reelection is already lost." ROFLMAO! You surely knew Hillary was going to win in a landslide in 2016. "Hes going to do more of these in the next 5 months"  On Jan. 19, then-President Barack Obama commuted the sentences of 330 federal inmates who were convicted of drug crimes. As a result, Obama increased the total number of commutations to 1,715 individuals during his presidency, including 568 people who have been sentenced to life in prison.  Though CNN once declared him one of the "least merciful presidents" in U.S. history, Obama granted more commutations than any president and has surpassed the number of commutations granted by the past 13 presidents combined, the White House reported.     It's only "Merciful" when Obummer does it. Yellow journalism.
