[GPSCC-chat] Jon Stewart Nukes Obama

[Brian Good]

After a campaign premised on reining in presidential
power, Obama is trying to curtail Miranda warnings for US citizens
and, after promising protection to whistleblowers he's now having
them arrested.  He has not only failed to reverse Bush's policies of
extraordinary rendition, his obstruction of the reach of the Supreme
Court's decisions upholding habeas corpus rights, and invoking
arbitratry state secrets both in the courtroom and out--Obama has
instituted a program of covert military ops that goes beyond what
Bush ever did, and has authorized the assassination of a US citizen,
Anwar al-Awlaki, even if he's caught far from a combat zone.



"All that power that you didn't
like when someone else had it, you decided to keep it."  Stewart
compares Obama to Frodo.  "You think you can be trusted with the
power because you're not a bad person," but the ring of power
must be tossed into the volcano so it doesn't pass into the wrong
hands.
