when barack obama was president, mister constitutional law scholar, obama normalized, and for many liberals legitimized the notion that assassination is a central and necessary part of running the empire, and he said that he found a smarter way to wage war with his drone wars, and he said oh, we need to look forward, not backward, in terms of holding cia torturers accountable. when someone like obama is in power, and what they do is legitimize the agenda of people like dick cheney, then you get benjamin netanyahu's genocidal war in gaza.
