566 over 4 years. In '77 he pardoned all the draft resisters and protestors and gave clemency to the rest (who comes to mind here?). He passed out more in 4 years than Clinton and Ronald Reagan each in 8 years. The more notorius were the Clinton pardons. I don't recall any controversial Reagan pardons, but Clinton had Marc Rich and the PR terrorists to claim.

Good Lord. Did some more reading on her.
She's not just an attack boat. She's a hundred feet longer than the standard Seawolf, and that space has a special "Ocean Interface" that will allow her do deploy all kinds of LARGE goodies. She is also the only one outfitted to carry 50 Special Ops troops in addition to the usual crew compliment.
This boat has DIRTY DEEDS and POWER PROJECTION written all over it. I can't believe Jimmah would even want his name on it.
Oh the irony.

DIRTY DEEDS and POWER PROJECTION
He&% with him, let the peace activist and anti-military element bash him.
Poor Jimmah his legacy will be tarnished.

Doc, ya beat me to it! I was going to suggest we take half a peanut shell and glue a tooth pick in it, then glue a piece of toilet paper to the tooth pick----DA DA-----the USS JIMMY BOB CARTER.

I just posted a bio on the the Hillary/McCain thread (Hillary and McCain a scary thought). All things considered this Sub might have better been named after Admiral John S. McCain Jr., the Senator's father rather than Jimmuh .

All I can add to this is it's a good thing the new boat's secrets weren't shared with Mr. Goober or they'd be secrets no more. He grins and brags too much to be trusted with National Security.

I bet Jimmah gets stomach cramps every time it's used. Kinda wonder what the Nobel Peace Prize people think of this, maybe they will rescind his prize.
