The Nobel Peace Prize recipient Obama is "warrior-in-chief"

Robert Wright is not happy, especially when it comes to drone attacks:
The fact is that, when it comes to drone strikes, President Obama has been much more reckless than any of us had reason to believe. He has lobbed missiles prolifically and sometimes undiscerningly into an allied country, embittering many of its citizens in a way that may come back to haunt us. He's also used a drone to assassinate an American citizen abroad, disregarding the constitution's guarantee of due process of law. Obama probably does qualify for the term "warrior in chief," but those of us who aren't happy about this have a right to feel betrayed.
I, for one, do not feel betrayed at all.

Because, from the moment Obama stepped up as a candidate, I have always viewed BHO as a version of Slick Willie but without the sex

This level of a hawkish presidency would have normally invited a whole lot of protests from Democrats.  But, they sweep it all away because BHO happens to be a Republican Democrat.  It continues to be a tragic irony that BHO is the only Peace prize recipient who has lobbed quite a few missiles that, as Wright links to, have killed many who were neither terrorists nor soldiers--often, we don't even know who they are, and apparently we don't care either. 

We live in a truly 1984-like world where war is now peace :(
