Obama goes on a State visit to Israel. While he is on a tour of
Jerusalem, he has a fatal heart attack.
The undertaker tells the US diplomats: "You can have him shipped home
For $1 million or you can bury him here in the Holy Land for $100."
The US diplomats go into a huddle and come back to the undertaker and
Tell him they still want Obama flown home.
The undertaker is puzzled and asks: "Why would you spend $1 million to
Get him home when it would be wonderful to be buried here in this
Religious country and you would only spend $100?"
One diplomat replied: "More than 2000 years ago a man died here, was
Buried here, and just 3 days later he rose from the dead. We simply
Can't take that risk".

Well this is a new tact. All this time they scream that he's a muslim, and now they are worried he's secretly Jewish just like JC.
Also nice thought to suggest leaving the remains of a US President in a foreign land might be acceptable. Real patriotic, assholes.

And with FSM we proofread, apparently.
He hasn't lifted a finger to close Guantanamo Bay.
We're holding hundreds of prisoners there without trial or charges.
He cut taxes when we need to raise them.
He's cutting spending when we need to be spending more.
He dropped single payer and the government option from the health care bill, then he allowed the Republicans to make nearly 200 changes to the bill, which effectively gutted it.
He's killed U.S. citizens without due process.
I don't want him back; he's effectively a Republican president.
But why do the Republicans hate him so much?
He hasn't lifted a finger to close Guantanamo Bay.
Oh I don't think that's quite right. He had to lift a whole hand to sign the order closing it. I saw it on TV.

I'll go off topic, but let me just play DA here: what's the meaningful difference between al-Awlaki and say... a Confederate?
Both are US citizens. Both rebelled and declared war on the US, and took actions intended to kill and maim Americans. Both were killed by the government without meaningful "due process".
Just a thought I had.
Obama signed the executive order to close Gitmo on January 22, 2009.
On May 20, 2009, the senate voted 90-6 to oppose the executive order.
I'm mostly with Charlie E on this one, and I very much oppose the lack-of-due-process assassination of US Citizen, Al-Awlaki... for me, that's a very very very dangerous & slippery slope. JMHO, of course, but...
That said, I, too, tend to see Obama as nothing more than a Republican/rightwinger in "drag" or worse.
Why do GOPer voters HATE Obama with the passion of a 1000 white-hot suns, even tho *many/most* of ObamaCo's policies are mostly rightwing hawkish corp-friendly stuff?? Why, mainly, because Obama is: 1) an "N" word, 2) many citizens are authoritarians brainwashed to believe in the so-called "two party" system & actually think that's there's some difference between the two branches of the Oligarchy Party, and c) many citizens have also been brainwashed by the team sports mentality that promotes that notion that we have to always be "on our guard" and "fight" the "other team," no matter what.
It's a very broken and dysfunctional system to say the least.
And finally: NOW somehow the T-tardz think Obama is: a) Jewish, and b) the Messiah?????
Wow... go figure. Must get their knickers in a hugely giant bunch to consider that the "N" word might be the Messiah that they're purportedly waiting for...
guh

147 years of becoming the world's dominant nation and example to others.
Being convicted of treason against the United States allows your citizenship to be revoked. I would prefer that we had actually followed that process and revoked his citizenship, or put him on trial, than simply having him killed and ignoring the law.
Deciding that our principles don't apply to foreigners was one of the Bush-era mistakes that the Supreme Court rejected, and I don't want Obama to repeat it.
147 years of becoming the world's dominant nation and example to others.
So because we are a "dominant" nation now its not ok. But before we were so great relative to the rest of the world it was ok?
Did Lincoln ever order the assassination of Jeff Davis or Confederate diplomats abroad? There's a difference between killing a fellow countryman on the battlefield and having him whacked at home. And saying the whole world is a battlefield and this war lasts forever doesn't cut it.
Did Lincoln ever order the assassination of Jeff Davis or Confederate diplomats abroad?
Didn't have the chance, as far as I know. I wonder if he would have given the order if given the oppourtunity.
Let's suppose a hypothetical: its the Siege of Petersburgh, and Union spies have discovered that Jefferson Davis is in the Confederate camp. The know about where he is, and they have the necessary firepower to attack his location and probably kill him with an artillery barrage. Should they do it? If Lincoln was also there and they asked him for the go ahead, should he have given it?
What if it was Robert E. Lee instead of Davis, and they knew they could take him out and deal the Confederacy a major blow?
Interesting hypothesis, but Lincoln had 4 years to authorize the assassination of the Confederate leadership, and didn't.
It should also be noted that he did not do so, even though the Confederacy represented, I would argue, a much greater existential threat to the U.S. than Al Qaeda does.
Not only was Davis never assassinated, he was charged with treason but never even tried!
Maybe I'm being unfair to our current politicians or naive about the past, but somehow I don't think Lincoln would have authorized the use of drones to target Confederate leadership, even if he had had the technology. But then again, the Confederacy had a (mostly) standing, regular army and political structure, something which Al Qaeda lacks.
