Bush parting gifts....(sm)

List of pardons and commutations thus far.  How many drug dealers has he now put back on the streets?  My personal favorites are the ones abusing food stamps.  I would say that's a big turnaround for a pub.  And before you guys start throwing a fit, yes Clinton pardoned some nice ones too.  I'm just keeping up with what's going on.

Don't have to be Muslim to not give gifts -
My boss is a practicing Christian in a Southern Baptist church and she does not give Christmas presents. She does celebrate Christmas, but she says it is about love and family and celebrating Christ - and on top of that (in her words), it is Jesus's birthday and he is the only one that deserves presents on his birthday...
In other words, you can't. Thanks for trying. We have some lovely parting gifts for you.

But why is scrutinizing how he gifts his wife and chldren, with his own money, anyone's business.
I can see scrutinizing his speeches, his proposals, his statements, his appointments. foreign and domestic policies, etc., but even a President deserves a personal life with his family.
