Whose decision should it be? I mean... the president is the top dog. The buck stops there. I think it's only right that he make the decision.
Are you kidding me? What about a trial to decide whether or not that person is guilty of the accusations worthy of the death penalty! Obama is the "top dog", so he can kill whoever he wants because he says they're bad....wow.

Even if you trust Obama as much as you clearly do, everybody should understand that unconstitutional powers like these will be abused, and even the possibility that they might be abused is too much of a risk. That's the whole point of the Constitution, to restrain the government, but now Obama is acting completely outside of its boundaries and saying he can kill whoever he wants because he's the "top dog".

Is there anything Obama could do that would upset you? Is there any violation of the Constitution that would make you say "OK, now he's taking it too far!"

George Washington amassed more troops to fight and kill Americans than he ever did to fight the British


You obviously don't know much about the Revolutionary War. Singling out and marking an American Citizen as a terrorist death target because they have 200 cans of soup stashed under their bed and started a forum thread with “What is the US government hiding about 9/11?” is okay? But colonists CHOOSING to fight in a war against the British Parliament who were trying to obtain taxes yet again from the people without their consent is classified as “murder”?


Obama passing this just proves he is tyrannical in nature and wants to keep his "options" open.
