From a great McClatchy piece:

Obama’s drone speech appeared to expand those who are targeted in drone strikes and other undisclosed “€œlethal actions”€ in apparent anticipation of an overhaul of the 2001 congressional resolution authorizing the use of force against al Qaida and allied groups that supported the 9/11 attacks on the United States. In every previous speech, interview and congressional testimony, Obama and his top aides have said that drone strikes are restricted to killing confirmed “senior operational leaders of al Qaida and associated forces”€ plotting imminent violent attacks against the United States. But Obama dropped that wording Thursday, making no reference at all to senior operational leaders. While saying that the United States is at war with al Qaida and its associated forces, he used a variety of descriptions of potential targets, from “those who want to kill us”€ and “€œterrorists who pose a continuing and imminent threat”€ to “€œall potential terrorist targets.”

Needless to say, Americans won’t notice the Lawyer-in-Chief’s masterful linguistic manipulation.

As the Republicans talk about impeaching Obama over Benghazi, the IRS and AP scandals, we see the difference between the two parties: guts.

The IRS admits that it targeted the Obama Administration’s right-wing political foes for extra scrutiny when they applied for non-profit status. You can’t trust government – except when they’re droning people.
