He should be held accountable.

Sad thing is Obama pushed the limits on almost everything Bush did wrong. Obama is Bush on steroids.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Deportation of immigrants (more than any President before him in his first four years in office), use of drones against civilians (thousands killed through direct action), Wall Street handouts for the ultra rich who stole from their employees, environmental de-regulation for the sake of profit (Pan-Asian Treaty), placing healthcare more into the hands of corrupt corporations, expanded the NSA spy program, etc.

But that all seems more like Bush 2.0, not Bush on steroids.

It's not perfect but then what is.

Yeah, what's a couple of innocent lives as long as you get to kill the bad guy?

It's this cavalier attitude towards collateral damage that sullies the country I live in. This is the reason I am ashamed to call myself an American.

Then leave.

Or .. here's an idea. Capture and jail the real war criminals and drive their supporters out instead.

Right, because if I disagree with taking innocent lives, I should find another country to live in.

Jesus Christ, could you be anymore of the embodiment of the ignorant, American redneck stereotype if you tried?

They'd only spend it on bagles.
hmmm...why would they only spend it on bagles? Just want to hear you say it.
