MotherJones Blog: What Happened to Bush's Pardons for Libby, Cheney, et al?

For all the Bush doubters:

Here's the proof that Bush was all that he said he was, someone he did everything to defend America from foreign threats even though that may not have been the popular thing to do. For every bad thing that he did, there was a good, intelligent reason behind it—perhaps less informed than it should have been, but that's not his fault; it's not the President's job to gather information, but it is his job to act on the information he has at the moment, and frankly, with all the Clinton hold-overs in the bureaucracy, it would've taken a miracle for him to get all the information necessary.

I can only hope that Obama would have the courage, nay, audacity to leave as cleanly as Bush did, 4 years from now.
