Hey, no big deal if the U.S. government murders people in other countries. No big deal if it sends people off to be tortured. No big deal if if holds people indefinitely without due process
You don't mention any names. The situation was bad enough under Bush..but I figured he was not very smart. I don't know what Obama's excuse is. I guess many who voted for and supported Obama thought things would get better. Instead, Obama seems to have morphed into Bush.
Among other things since becoming president, Barack Obama has:
Signed the NDAA into law - making it legal to assassinate Americans w/o charge or trial.
Initiated, and personally oversees a 'Secret Kill List'.
Waged war on Libya without congressional approval.
Started a covert, drone war in Yemen.
Escalated the proxy war in Somalia.
Escalated the CIA drone war in Pakistan.
Maintained a presence in Iraq even after "ending" the war.
Sharply escalated the war in Afghanistan.
Secretly deployed US special forces to 75 countries.
Sold $30 billion of weapons to the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia.
Signed an agreement for 7 military bases in Colombia.
Opened a military base in Chile.
Touted nuclear power, even after the disaster in Japan.
Opened up deepwater oil drilling, even after the BP disaster.
Did a TV commercial promoting "clean coal".
Defended body scans and pat-downs at airports.
Signed the Patriot Act extension into law.
Deported a modern-record 1.5 million immigrants.
Continued Bush's rendition program.
