Interesting that you list his assassination as a success of the Obama administration. Once again, you've proved my point (and by no means for the first time) that your whining about civil liberties being crushed under the jackboots of Bush and Cheney was simply partisan bullshit. It was never the policies; when a democrat does worse you're fine with it. It was only about what whether a D or R was after the name.
this is where you're wrong and as always, lump me into a column that I do not belong in.. this idea that I am so extremely left, when I'm not.. I'm two steps to the left of center on many things and one step to the right on others.. just as I agree with the death penalty and guns, I do not think killing a terrorist (or enabler) the likes of Al Awlaki is a bad thing. IMO he gave up his right by becoming a high ranking AQ terrorist..Sure, many liberal and libertarians disagree and I understand that, I just don't agree with them or you... it has nothing to do with (R) or (D), it's an extreme case that is judged on it's own merit.. whoever the president was, IMO, was well within his rights to do what he did..does that mean I'm for it 100% in all cases? nope. but in this one.. yep.
Bush and Cheney illegally spied on us citizens.. who knows why. what evidence did they have to give for the wire-tapping? oh yea, none... they took people they thought might, could be, maybe, possibly, know a terrorist because the neighbor who owed him a goat said he was.. and threw them into hell and left them there to rot.. not the same as killing a
known terrorist who
will kill you... Al Awlaki was the true ticking time bomb scenario and as I've said many times, I'm good with whatever needs to be done in that scenerio. Just do it and own it, don't lie and let your chief of staff take the fall for you..
I get that stuff like that blows your mind because you have never been able to venture into the 'grey' area.. but not being married to an ideology, and being able to look at things as they are and judge them, has it benefits and this one of them..
Obama winning that election has been a disaster for the economy, but such a boon for my posts. I've been able to prove the lib hypocrisy soooo many times because he's been in office! He may drive our economy into the ground, but I can count on you to prove me right again and again!
blah blah... McCain wouldn't have done it any differently and you know it... what happen was going to happen regardless.
No president was going to let the American auto industry die.. not a single one...and no president was not going to try a stimulus.. the only difference McCain would have done was he might have gotten more money since he was (R).. other than that, Obama did what any president would have done, and thats everything in their power to stop the fall.. and he did. why you can't give him credit for that and realize no one would have done any different proves your hypocrisy more than any 'libs' you think you've outed.
