As a leader this president has shown he has no intention of protecting this country against illegals or drug dealers crossing into this country,if he feels his good friend Libby's prison sentence was too harsh for breaking the law and pardons him,why doesn't he have such compasion for our two border patrol agents now in prison for doing their job,which was to catch illegals,especially the ones that are bringing in drugs from mexico

The illegal involved did not died,he was shot in the azz by one of the agents,he was bringing in a load of drugs from mexico and driving a US stolen car,he was given immunity by our own government,US citizenship and $80000,so he would testify against the agents,all this after a call from the mexican government to Washington DC

If Scooter Libby can be pardoned after perjury may be poor immigrants can also be pardoned for crossing border without papers. Everyone talks about the taxes they are not paying or adding costs to the health care and education. Nobody seems to ask how much wealth they are adding to the system by hard work and by spending money in USA!! By the way if you legalize them, they will pay taxes too, like all other immigrants. In a country that needs one million more workers EVERY year from abroad , blaming them to take americans' jobs is just lame. Bottom line is, this country and economy need to import foreign workers like all rich economies do. Those who are opposing comprehensive immigration reforms are playing these games under lame excuses just to hide their racist agenda. Republicans do not want hispanic to come to this country, period. Today they are opposing undocumented mexicans, tommarrow they will ask legal hispanics to leave if they won't speak english language. According to Bill O'Reilly, Mexicans are challenging " White caucaisan male Society" balance.

I don't know. The President has lost sight of what this country should be and could be. The Border Patrol agents are just as deserving of sentence reduction as Libby, perhaps more so. Afterall, they were out protecting the borders and catching drug dealers , not political friends.
Seems the President is more concerned about illegal aliens than American citizens doing their job.

Because he is GW! He thinks that he and his cronies are above the law and that his way is the only way. Isn't that blatantly clear? He is a poor leader, thinks he is a god and has undermined this country from the get go. I can say that I never voted for his a*s as he was so cocky and so in love with GW that he can't see much beyond the mirror. He's not a patriot, he's a tyranist! I'll bet he retires in Mexico!

Why did Clinton pardon 459 hard core criminals and allow big corporations to open up businesses in other countries so they could get cheap labor without unions?

Bush did not pardon Libby. Libby still has to pay his "fine" (which someone else will pay for him) and he is on"probation". What will likely happen is that Bush will pardon him at the end of his term as president.
Bush does what he wants. No one stops him. At this juncture, I really believe that those who say the most against this man are laughing at him.
You see, it's all a game. The Dems, a few Republicans. They could care less about Libby OR this president.
..so they let him do as he pleases....because they count his remaining days with glee --and hope that he will someday fall on his own sword.
that's about the size of it.

To answer your question, Bush did not pardon Mr. Libby.
*****Nicholas C. .... The reason you're not a top contributor is because you don't understand the difference between a pardon and a commutation of sentence.
