> […] [Obama] is the only US president in modern history to explicitly authorize the assassination of a US citizen without a trial

Just one of the many things Obama did that upsets me so much. The precedent he set with that is criminal.

Of course I’m against terrorism, but our government MUST NOT have the right to classify Americans as terrorists and just execute them without a trial—via drone strikes!

Most Americans likely don’t even know about what happened to the al-Awlaki’s, which is unfortunate.
