Obama: American people need to know how I make national security decisions

October 19th, 2012

Barack Obama, while on The Daily Show:

‘Whatever else I have done throughout the course of my presidency the one thing that I’ve been absolutely clear about is that America’s security comes, and the American people need to know exactly how I make decisions when it comes to war, peace, security, and protecting Americans.

‘And they will continue to get that over the next four years of my presidency.’

Except, apparently, for when he will kill American citizens with drone strikes, when he will support the people overthrowing one ally’s government but not the other, and when he will intervene in one country’s revolution but not another. Because this administration’s policies are not at all clear on those issues.
