Re: Obama stops clean up to create bigger disaster

right you are - he was just spared prison time for obstruction of
justice.

My decision to commute his prison sentence leaves in place a harsh
punishment for Mr. Libby. The reputation he gained through his years
of public service and professional work in the legal community is
forever damaged. His wife and young children have also suffered
immensely. He will remain on probation. The significant fines imposed
by the judge will remain in effect. The consequences of his felony
conviction on his former life as a lawyer, public servant, and private
citizen will be long-lasting.

The Constitution gives the President the power of clemency to be used
when he deems it to be warranted. It is my judgment that a commutation
of the prison term in Mr. Libby's case is an appropriate exercise of
this power.
