Using the constitution as toilet paper - again. The Obama administration authorized the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki who holds US citizenship. There is some nefarious precedent being created by allowing the President to order the killing of American citizens, regardless of their alleged crimes, without granting them their 5th Amendment rights. Bush with his renditions, and the implications of the Patriot Act was bad enough, but ordering a US citizen to be assassinated as Obama now did takes it to a whole new level. I bet Stalin would be proud of Barry Soetoro. Anyone want to wager which other parts of the constitution will be considered void by Obama until he gets kicked out of the white house?

and no one is suggesting that, either. I didn't say "well, this guy is a bad guy, so it's ok". I said "Obama is wrong for doing this, but don't pretend that this guy is some sort of delicate flower."

You're doing your own post a disservice by suggesting that there aren't valid reasons to go after him the PROPER way.

I was merely pointing towards the "not a delicate flower" part which could be taken as counterbalancing the previous point you made
