[Peace-discuss] Flyer for 12/3 Main Event - draft

[Carl G. Estabrook]

Of course you're right, but Obama is the Executive - and the Commander  
in chief.

In the present state of the imperial presidency - illustrated by the  
Senate debate last week (see <http://www.salon.com/writer/glenn_greenwald/ 
 >, e.g. "...Obama lawyers ... announced because of secrecy powers,  
'we’re in armed conflicts with some groups the American public doesn’t  
know we’re in armed conflict with'") - it's important to point out  
that these evil and unconstitutional policies are Obama's own. There  
are plenty of people who see themselves as liberals and excuse Obama  
on the grounds that the Republicans - or the Pentagon, or someone else  
- made him act as he is, when he really wants to end the war, end  
foreclosures, end unemployment, etc. - and so must be re-elected.
