Is Barack Obama a Tory? Or another fascist prick who murders people trying to rescue drone victims.

[alice wellintown]

Of course I believe it. Do you think Obama is any less a us president than
Reagan or bush or Clinton? He got the Nobel. Now he wants to another 4
years. To do that, he can not weaken his grip on the drones. These are his
best weapon now. As he pulls away we will see more of them not fewer. Obama
knows a winner. The drone is a champ; holder will hold off the attacks
here, the CIA will pay hush money, the drones will kill more and more bad
men and, if Obama is lucky, fewer good people. But the robots will fly.
