Barack Obama is running Murder, Inc. No wonder he’s too distracted to run the country.

Who do you kill? Well, drone-out ALL them 20 million unemployed, of course!!!
Think of the incredible economic stimulus this would give the arms industry, building reconstruction and funeral homes … without need for congressional approval.
This guy is pulling out all the stops to get re-elected. Another notch in his belt with the Quaddafi murder, now, he’s on TV with his “serious face” saying he’ll pull troops out of Iraq by year’s end. I’m sure the dumb as crap sheeple are estactic. Little do they know that several thousand Blackwater types will remain so the US will still be occupying and wreaking havoc in Iraq. Further, you can bet most of troops will be re-deployed to Afghanistan, Libya, and Iran. Watch for additional “treats” from the Obomber regime as it desperately tries to hold on to office.
Have to agree with falco here – while twenty million drones is a lot of drones (and besides, the real figure for the US unemployed would probably be much closer to 60 million), if they were used wisely – at employment centres or protest rallies, for example – the jobless could be eliminated more effectively. Unfortunately, however, the reason this won’t work and probably why it’s not been tried on a large scale previously – is that eliminating the unemployed would exert what the economists call «inflationary pressure» on the labour market, i e, without competition from the unemployed, the employed might have the audacity to demand higher wages ! And we all know that *that* is not good for the economy – at least as seen from the prospective of the capitalists and their captive economists and media….

No need to kill them, just send the media in to distort their arguments, and create a complicated picture, and pretty soon they’ll start to doubt themselves, because American’s really trust the nightly news for whatever reason.
