LOL. Well, don't be a terrorist then. Obama will get you and he's very good at it. Again, Chinu doesn't listen to what I say very well. I have said repeatedly that Obama has fought terror extremely well with his efforts overseas and that I have no sympathy for that American he assassinated. In that isolated case, it sure did seem like that guy deserved it, from what we know about it. However, I have a very big problem with the fact that our President has this power at all, especially without Judicial review. What's to stop him from using that power to silence his political opponents? What if he goes for a third term and silences anyone who opposes that? Can't happen here? Well, maybe Obama wouldn't do that. He seems to be a good man, but what if Dick Cheney was in power or someone far more nefarious? They could use these powers to stir up all kinds of mischief. That is why Chinu is so incredibly wrong on this issue. He believes we can trust our President to always do the right thing. I believe in the Rule of Law, so that we don't have to entrust this country to the whims of good or bad men. Our Founders believed that too.
