I'm only speaking for myself here, when I say that the man we now have as our president is not someone who should be trusted to have at his fingertips the ability to direct that a drone be used on ‘anyone’ currently on U.S. soil. Not nobody, not no how! He has demonstrated more times than I care to count that he is quite adept at lying, and willing to do so repeatedly, and about absolutely anything. So when a day after Sen. Rand Paul’s 13-hour filibuster, we hear from White House Spokesmoron Jay Carney assert, "The president has not and would not use drone strikes against American citizens on American soil," it means nothing. And his adding, "whether the lethal force in question is a drone strike or a gun shot, the law and the Constitution apply in the same way," did nothing to convince me. Because of Barry's obviously contempt for our Constitution.
A reporter asked Carney, "Does the president have an opinion on whether or not he has the constitutional authority to use drones against American citizens on U.S. soil, and under which circumstances?" To which our favorite Spokesmoron sarcastically responded, "I’m going to read directly from the attorney general’s letter today." Carney went on to say, "He has sent a letter responding to this question. It was transmitted to Sen. Paul within the last half hour or so. From the letter: ‘Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil? The answer is no.’ That is a letter that is signed by the attorney general sent to Sen. Paul and his office." Sorry, there Jay, but I don't trust Eric "I'm A Racist" Holder any more than I trust Barry. To do that is simply insane!
Drone strikes have struck terrorists abroad, including a U.S.-born terrorist fighting for the Taliban. And in what I'm not sure was an effort to convince himself or others, Carney stated that Barry is limited by the Constitution, and that regardless of new technology, it does not change what he can do under the law. "The president has not and would not use drone strikes against American citizens on American soil," Carney said. "On the broader question, the legal authority that exists to use lethal force are bound and constrained by the laws and the Constitution. The issue here isn’t the technology. The method doesn’t change the law." Who's he trying to kid? Barry doesn't see himself as being limited by anything, least of all our Constitution! This rabid egomaniac sees himself as being far above the petty laws that he sees as being only meant for the little people.
But Carney continued with his silly charade saying, "The president swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and is bound by the law, whether the lethal force in question is a drone strike or a gun shot, the law and the Constitution apply in the same way." Ok, so let me see it I have this right. Carney expects us to trust Barry for no other reason than because he swore an oath to uphold the Constitution? Would that be the same Constitution that he has been working to shred ever since becoming president? Barry has made it abundantly clear that he does not see himself being bound by any laws. Carney added, "That’s why I think there has been a great deal of confusion about the technology here. Technology is irrelevant to what the law and the Constitution say, and the president is bound by the Constitution, bound by the laws and is sworn to uphold them"
Look the bottom line here is that I simply don't trust our lying turd of a president any farther than I could ever hope to throw him. And, quite frankly, there is nothing that Spokesmoron Carey, or anyone else for that matter, could ever say that would convince me to do so. Because if there ever was a guy who should not have anywhere near this kind of authority, it's our current Lying-Thug-in-Chief, Barack Hussein Obama. And I do not trust anybody who has any connection, no matter how remote, with Barry "Almighty." He's a liar who has surrounded himself with other skillful liars. Nothing that he, nor any of surrogates, says can be trusted. They are able to look you dead in the eye, and lie. They have no conscience and they have no soul. It's just that simple. So we're just supposed to cheerfully hand to Barry, with our blessing, the ability to use these drone on Americans? Is that not just ABSOLUTELY nuts?
