Politically Active Americans Facing Searches and Surveillance

Thursday, September 30, 2010

As an old, old liberal Democrat, I don't how any Democratic voter can sustain enthusiasm, defend Obama, after he asserts he has the right to k!ll any American citizen with no due process or oversight?  And 'preventive detention'?  And Obama's claims of 'state secrets' to deny courts even look at his a$$a$$ination program?  And Obama's war on privacy?  And what Obama's FBI is doing to anti-war activists?

And what about a Democratically-controlled Congress that looks the other way, refuses to exercise its Constitutionally-required role of oversight?



What makes Obama even worse than Bush-Cheney, IMHO, is that he campaigned on knowing different. 

Bush and Cheney make no excuses for what they did and are about.  But Obama ran on not being like them, and to see what he's done in office (and when cornered the excuses!) -- HOLY MOTHERING G0D!  

To say what he's saying, there can only be one of two reasons: 

1. Obama's got no conscience, or, 

2. . Cheney's got Michelle's mother in an 'undisclosed location'.


You can choose to believe whichever one makes you feel better about your ability to assess character.

But you can't pick #2 unless you ignore everything else known about him to date.

If Obama didn't have a 'D' after his name, anyone looking at his and Democrats' actions would believe they were in a bizarro mirror world, where the Democrats and Republicans had swapped identities.
