    Putin should admit he is gay. All will be forgiven and John Lewis could then go to the inaugural.

      I wish Obama would commute anyone in jail for nonviolent drug crimes.

          Manning is transgender. Snowden is not.

              Assange apparently is turning himself in... I guess he wants in on the pardons/sentence commutations that Obama is handing out.

                Yes and no. Assange is also a rapist.

                    Just kidding...

                    Julian Assange will not hand himself in because Chelsea Manning's release won't happen immediately, lawyer says

                    Julian Assange will not hand himself in despite a promise to do so if Chelsea Manning was granted clemency, according to one of his lawyers.


                    WikiLeaks had pledged in a tweet that its founder would agree to be extradited to the US if Barack Obama granted clemency to Ms Manning, which he did in the final hours of his presidency. Mr Assange's lawyers initially seemed to suggest that promise would be carried through – telling reporters that he stood by his earlier comments – but it appears now that Mr Assange will stay inside the embassy.

                          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                            Obama beat Gerald, Jimmy, and Harry...

                            Obama Averages 47.9% Job Approval as President

                            Barack Obama finished his tenure as president with a 47.9% average job approval rating. He ranks below eight presidents and ahead of only three -- Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Harry Truman -- in Gallup's polling history.
                            [...]
                            Barack Obama's average job approval rating during his eight years in office, 47.9%, ranks among the lowest in Gallup history. But he finished strong with 59% approval in Gallup's final measurement.


                            Good thing he finished strong so he didn't finish last.
