Here's reality. If, say, Reagan had done something similar, they'd be defending him to the hilt. For that matter, they wouldn't criticize W for drone strikes. If the left was criticizing him these guys would be busting a gut defending him. ETA: Yes, I say that in spite of the ex post facto conservative criticism of Bush.

And you guys would be calling him a war criminal. I see you left out that little nugget. . .

It is just politics as usual. Just getting worse or I am just older and pay more attention. Goes so far as using abortion to show how Obama really doesn't care about children nor does the left. Just ridiculous.

No.
Good, we agree on something. The truth of the matter is that liberals have roundly criticized Obama for drone strikes, but the Democratic locksteppers on MSNBC have been mostly silent, because they're slaves to the party, not liberal moral principles. Have you seen Chris Matthews' latest promo where he beating the drums for war with Iran?

No I haven't. I try and stay away from MSNBC (and FN for that matter).

How many innocent children had been killed by Japanese forces in the years since they had invaded the Korean peninsula, China, and every nation in the Southeast Pacific regions? How many innocent soldiers who had nothing to do with starting WWII lived? How many innocent children were born because two atomic bombs ended WWII?

I'm going to guess that you missed the real point of my post about WWII.

As CC said he has a Nobel Peace Prize. This makes BHO a peace maker around the world. He is a protector of the weak and innocent and a foe of aggression and violence. Also they were not rich and white.

Don't know about him, but I may have missed it. What was the modicum of comparison between drone and A-bomb decisions?

not rich, maybe. But we are engaged in drone wars all over the fricking place. No doubt we've killed a few innocent honkies. Hell we targeted and killed an American citizen, and the left was all like, "whatevs"
