President Barack Obama’s defense to Democratic senators complaining about how little his administration has told Congress about the legal justifications for his drone policy: Dick Cheney was worse.

That’s part of what two senators in the room recounted of Obama’s response when, near the outset of his closed-door session with the Senate Democratic conference on Tuesday, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) confronted the president over the administration’s refusal for two years to show congressional intelligence committees Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel memos justifying the use of lethal force against American terror suspects abroad.

A thousand apologies. I did check, btw. Just missed it. It hadn't come over rss yet, and there was no mention "cheney" on the page. I shall endeavor to be more thorough.

To prove it, Obama killed four times as many innocent civilians as Bush did.

Yeah. Dick Cheney shooting American citizens was an accident. With Obama, it is with declared intent.

Oh yeah. Cheney apologized.

Obama just pretty much says "it's justified... national security... secret memos... fuck you."

Well, of course it becomes a classified, national security issue when the head of state becomes a murderer! Imagine the chaos if we didn't cover it up!

Yeah. Not Dick Cheney at all. Unless.... Cheney is just craftier?
