killing people on an enemies list who are in a foreign land is going to get noticed. Some will think it's okay - Bush did it - but now Obama owns it. Obama is the first to authorize killing of US Citizens. He doesn't let that pesky Due Process clause of the Constitution get in his way.

If the president being a stoner reaches all the way down to my 19 YO grandson, who doesn't pay any attention to what's going on in the world, then it's reaching everyone. I'll bet there's a lot more people who don't want a stoner representing them to the rest of the world than there are kids who think he's cool. While walking home from the market last night we overheard two kids (~12) on skateboards, one said the president killed, ummm somebody. The other boy corrected him, Osama, and then stated "Any President would have done that" and forcefully repeated this statement. I got a big smile from that as they pumped their way up the hill. The boy who was aware enough to name one of our enemies also knew enough to give no credit to the golfer in the White House.
