This might be obscure but I wondered if it wasn't a slap at Hillary and the Russian leak whiners. So leaking stuff isn't such a big deal, get over it. I don't think Obama ever liked Hillary as a person. So this was an added nuance to the issue. Just a thought.
Put this into perspective a few decades ago when the country was sane and had a moral base to stand on. An angst filled kid dumps boatloads of classified information to the outside world (did NOT whistleblow shit, rather did a mass data dump because hero). He's also mentally unstable and goes so far as to try to change into a woman. He's convicted and sent to the slammer for being a whacked out traitor. The president says it's no big deal and lets him loose. Can you imagine anyone supporting a president that retarded?

On the other hand, sex change operation, two suicide attempts, constant legal wrangling. Taxpayers are going to save a ton of money not being responsible for Manning anymore.

I heard an interesting theory and I am inclined to believe it:
Obama did the Manning action to suck up the press coverage so less would be said about pardoning an unrepentant FALN bomber.

If you pardon Hillary don't you announce that you think she is a criminal?
That one's easy "we're just protecting her from the persecution she would otherwise suffer under from the Republicans..."
I like my world view better
