A lot of the drug ones were supposedly due to disproportionate sentencing from what I understand.
Personally I like the fact he faced even a little bit of the abuses of the war on drugs and did something.

I wonder if I could get a couple of speeding tickets commuted and my money returned from the state of WA?

What is sick is that many of these so-called "non-violent" offenders had gun charges with their drug charges.
That should tell you right there that Obama didn't really care about solving firearm-related violence.
Also, why in the hell did he pardon/commute? Oscar Rivera, the FALN bomber who killed 6 Americans?
I guess Barry started out with Ayers and ended up with Rivera. He loves his terrorists...

Did he pardon or commute? There is a difference.

Bunch of dead white guys in Philadelphia in 1789 who wrote that power into the Constitution. Offhand I think it was Hamilton who supported the idea.

I think his question was more along the lines of: who started releasing bombers that killed multiple people? Bombers are the worst kind of cowardly scum that scheme and plot in secret and don't even have the guts to face the people they murder.
I guess Obama has a soft spot for them though.

Does not mitigate the 6 American lives he extinguished. The freak should have died in prison.

For the record, if you have a gun in your possession when arrested on a drug charge, that quite often equals a gun charge, whether or not the gun is used in a violent manner.
