Wow - just the two commutations.

The commutations for Compean and Ramos bring Bush’s total number of pardons and commutations to 200, the fewest of any two-term president in modern times.
Gotta give Bush credit on this one. I think he handled the exit, and his use of the pardon power, well.
I agree. It's about the only thing I'm willing to give him credit for, but at least it's a good last impression.

Agreed. Clearly a level of integrity there that was sorely lacking in Clinton.

I don't know that I ever really questioned his honesty.

At this point, there is little point in revisiting the past. I am glad we have had a change.

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
