Obama Seeking Reelection as President Death

Barack Hussein Obama is maximizing the political advantage of killing Official Enemies of America. A week after ordering the assassination of Osama bin Laden by a SEAL death squad, he appeared on CBS TV's 60 Minutes show, taking up the entire hour (minus commercials) to expound on how he ordered the killing. "Me me me," was the content. 

The same day, he tried to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen who exhorts people to wage jihad against the U.S. and "Western interests" as they're called. Basically, a man with dangerous opinions. A drone, Obama's favorite weapon, attacked a couple of cars in Yemen, where al-Awlaki and his group, "Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula"- it's a franchise- is.  It missed the first time, and the second time killed a couple of confederates of al-Awlaki, but missed him. Oh well. Obama has another 18 months before the election to try and add al-Awlaki's scalp to his belt. (By the way, a U.S. court threw out a suit by al-Awlaki's father to challenge his son's presence on the U.S. death list. The court ruled that the father didn't have "standing," i.e. the matter didn't affect him directly! Also, it was a "political" issue, not a legal one. The Federal judge who threw out the suit did opine that it seemed strange that a warrant was needed to wiretap a citizen, but not to kill one. Gee, life is strange, huh, your honor?)

And anyone who thinks there's something wrong with assassination, is sick in the head. So says Obama, in the last words in his 60 Minutes interview:

" Justice was done. And I think that anyone who would question that the perpetrator of mass murder on American soil didn't deserve what he got needs to have their head examined."

Anyone who would even question what Obama did is crazy. Talk about a totalitarian impulse.
