" There are thousands of people in prison today who deserve a pardon far more than Marc Rich did."

So true. And most of them are black. I'm sure Obama will change the process so that black prisoners can get pardoned immediately, as a sort of partial reparation for slavery. Let's set a goal of reducing our prison population from 2 million to 1 million in a year!

Inode, > The current White House process requires a five year waiting period after the sentence is completed.

Huh? I'm not familiar with this, nor does it sound right. Why would a pardon really mean much five years after the completion of the sentence?

Maybe you mean after the sentence was issued.
