I don't like how Obama approves the use of drones but I also don't see Republicans (with the notable exception of Ron Paul) doing anything to change it either. That is, it's a real problem (even with pure intentions and being saintly enough not to abuse power drones can still malfunction and cause injury and death to innocents, as well as costing way too much), but I don't think it's fair to put Obama's logo on it, unless it's to draw attention to the fact that he's encouraging such use to Democrats who just refuse to see any wrong doing by Obama (and pretend only Republicans bad mouth him and ignoring the ACLU is about just as condemning of Obama's policies and directions, including with the use of drones).
