Obama's Personal Hit List.

[StormInateacup]

This is absolutely terrifying. The New York Times has reported that Obama has a special list which he personally edits and monitors, of US citizens deemed as prime targets for assassination.

Those who make the list have been in some manner identified as "security risks." Quite what criteria are used to assess what constitutes such a risk I do not know, but it's shocking to me in the extreme that this hasn't aroused howls of protest and calls for Impeachment.

Tricky Dicky Nixon had a similar lists, but our parents generation in the 1970's had the balls and brains to make a noise about it and get the fruitcake out of office.

It has been clear for years that the Obama administration believes the shadow war on terrorism gives it the power to choose targets for assassination, including Americans, without any oversight. On Tuesday, The New York Times revealed who was actually making the final decision on the biggest killings and drone strikes: President Obama himself. And that is very troubling.

A "Do Not Kill" Petition has been created by a site called We The People, which US citizens are being asked to sign, but bearing in mind the stakes in this game and the apparent moral porpitude of the man in the Oval Office, I am not sure it's all that safe to go ahead and sign it.

I've brought children into a world where I am increasingly aware that they will live as serfs and targets. Our elected leaders are now openly operating as feudal overlords and the vast majority among us are mutely accepting it while we agonise over who is coming first on Dancing With the Stars.

I wonder who is on the list. Obama is insane. A genuine a@#$#**.

I think the problem is that he's not insane, merely a sadly deluded narcissist, as is his wife; look at the way she turned on Oprah Winfrey after the elections...

I figure every president since George Washington has had one of these lists. Problem is these days they can make anything look like an accident.

They're all at it. The British are pass masters at the "death in a car accident": one. Look at Princess Di - funny that the whole "Rid the world of landmines" campaign had its wheels fall off it a week after her high speed encounter with that Paris tunnel pylon, was it not? And no one has ever heard a word from the bodyguard who survived it - the only one by chance who was wearing a seat belt at the time....as every one else's seemed to be malfunctioning.

The more I think about it, the more I realise just how much my son's "the world is run by cunts" thread was right on the money.

In the face of Watergate and an pending empeachment, Nixon resigned in 1974.
Politics arn't all that much different now as they were in the 50's or 60"s, just better TV coverage is all.
