| | | Gerronimo -- I'm a liberal independent who once voted for Obama, but I've never been so disappointed with his policies. He expanded the war in Afghanistan right after he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, didn't close Guantanamo, and signed the NDAA into law, blatantly disregarding key constitutional provisions which once prevented the indefinite detention of people suspected of terrorism -- which now includes Christian groups, NRA members, military veterans, and probably all of us, who knows.
And here he is, supposedly a former Harvard law professor who taught Constitutional law.
He's authorized the use of killer drones around the world, assassinating "suspects" on foreign soil without due process and in violation of other nation's sovereignty, while disregarding the safety and rights of its citizen civilians, many of who have been killed or maimed in the process -- including innocent women and children.
He expanded warrantless domestic spying to include all of us, in our homes on our phones and computers -- even watching what we checked out at the library. He's militarized our state police forces in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, and otherwise picked up right where Bush left off.
I won't go into the healthcare debacle or other questionable economic policies that has increased the deficit tremendously -- not to mention the hundreds of barb-wired FEMA detention centers built during his time in office, the thousands upon thousands of plastic coffins, or the billions of rounds of hollow point ammunition now distributed to virtually every government agency including the Post Office.
But even as a former Obama supporter, I can't say the man has done anything close to a wonderful job -- unless you're referring to pushing the US towards a fascist police state in pursuit of a new world order. |
