Obama released a list of his final acts of clemency and the list didn't include Blagojevich. The ex-governor petitioned Obama for a commutation, and both Amy and her sister wrote letters asking Obama to act. The pardon was always considered a longshot, particularly given Blagojevich's involvement in an effort to trade an appointment to Obama's former Senate seat for campaign cash. Amy Blagojevich noted in the letter the emotional toll on her family over the past eight years. "Everyone seems to be mourning your exit from office," Amy wrote in the lengthy post, posted on her mother’s Facebook page.
