Did we not elect this President to be better, to be more more compassionate and thoughtful than Bush?! These drone attacks abroad are doing no small amount of damage to innocent civilians! How are we any better than the sheeple Republicans as they cheered on Bush during his two terms if we turn a blind eye to these drone attacks?
And no, I am not some Libertarian type with fears of a government that could come to use this technology on us. My only fear is this tribal mentality that threatens to make us no better than our political opponents. We are better than this. When Bush and his administration abused their power we called them on it. If we won't do the same when its one of our own sitting in the white house then those criticisms meant nothing.
