FUCK OBAMA. Gutless coward to the end.

Pardons that carnival sideshow freak, but leave Leonard Peltier to die in prison.

Quote:
The Office of the Pardon Attorney has announced President Obama has denied clemency to imprisoned Native American activist Leonard Peltier. Peltier is a former member of the American Indian Movement who was convicted of killing two FBI agents during a shootout on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1975. He has long maintained his innocence.

Amnesty International condemned the decision.

“We are deeply saddened by the news that President Obama will not let Leonard go home,” said Margaret Huang, executive director of Amnesty International USA. “Despite serious concerns about the fairness of legal proceedings that led to his trial and conviction, Peltier was imprisoned for more than 40 years. He has always maintained his innocence. The families of the FBI agents who were killed during the 1975 confrontation between the FBI and American Indian Movement (AIM) members have a right to justice, but justice will not be served by Peltier’s continued imprisonment.”

Manning's pardon makes it official. If Manning's not a traitor, and what he did is worthy of a pardon, then the Dems have nothing to pitch a bitch about relative to the 2016 election.

Thanks Obama!

He wasn't pardoned. His sentence was commuted after 7 years.
