CNN) -- Covert drone strikes are one of President Obama's key national security policies. He has already authorized 283 strikes in Pakistan, six times more than the number during President George W. Bush's eight years in office.
Obama's drone campaign is quite controversial: Some claim that a substantial number of civilians are killed in the attacks, while U.S. government officials assert that the civilian casualty rate is now zero.
Why is Obama getting a pass? It seems like Fox News, ATS, and a few conservative sites are the only places that dare criticize the president.

I think this is a good discussion on the inconsistencies in criticism of the parties.
The bias in the media is apparent.
The bias in congress is apparent.
Obama is seemingly untouchable. Unemployment is still high, yet no discussion on it. The economy is faltering, yet o discussion on it. Our homeless problem is increasing, yet no discussion on it. Our foreign policy is failing, yet no discussion on it.
We're divided on guns.
Obama is drone-happy.
The war in Afghanistan is faltering.
The next war in Africa is warming up.
Sequestration is being fought against.

That's a bunch of nonsense, is it Conservatives suing the President? Is it Conservatives getting arrested protesting?
Open your eyes.
But really the most hypocrisy is coming from our elected officials... Democrats and Republicans both.

So you're using a clip in which liberal Bill Maher calls out Obama and the Democrats to state that liberals are being hypocrites?
Gotcha.
