I love it, she openly says, yeah its OK for Obama to do this, but not Bush.
Except our laws aren’t segregated by politics, class, or race. When you let one President do something so easily abused as kill American citizens without due process under a vague and unchecked accusation of “working with the enemy”, you’re giving all future Presidents that very same power.
Also the fact that you trust Obama more than you trust Bush shows that you are about as stupid as they come. Useful idiots do need to be as stupid as they are useful!
She has no idea what she is talking about. She claims that the President has unilateral control over nuclear weapons, but our nuclear rules require two people to authorize them, and those two people are of a very short list, all of whom are either elected or vetted by Congress.
Secondly, the Constitution specifically lays out the requirement for being tried for treason, and it doesn’t include being on the President’s naughty list.
What an utter and total moron. She’s the kind of person that would push for all of these gun control laws, but by her own logic the very next president could seriously abuse the power, which is exactly the problem. This is why we have separation of powers and Obama’s serious push to tear down the walls around separation of powers (war powers, debt ceiling) are exactly what we don’t need. Washington shouldn’t run smoothly. That’s the design. It’s also why they aren’t supposed to be doing all they things they’ve decided to do.
H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E. Absolutely. This should be sufficient evidence that she isn’t qualified to sit within 25 yards of a microphone or TV camera.
If we could judge what powers elected official are permitted based upon our own personal biases, I declare nothing POTUS has done since January 2008 has any validity or standing. Not one single thing.
Hey, at least she admits she operates on her own personal bias. She voted for him because he makes “good” decisions, so any decision he makes must be good. And the opposite holds true for Bush. Ironically, even though the president makes the final call, it is the same military intelligence that gives the targets and the reason. Outrage under Bush turned into “they must have needed killin” in 2009.
Not to Mention these same people who said we never should have gone into Iraq because there were “no WMDs” (despite all rockets, explosives, chemicals, and uranium ore we pulled out of that nation) are the same people who think that Iran is simply posing itself as a new leader in nuclear energy, and North Korea is looking to become the new hub for space exploration.
They say all that, and then they say “Well those American citizens are terrorists and need killing” and we’re supposed to BELIEVE them?
