Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

So much of these Obama years are characterised by decisions made when there was no choice or a choice between two or more bad options. Take the OBL mission. Violate an ally's sovereignty to conduct a revenge killing, or allow OBL to remain in sanctuary. I'd rather he was extradicted and brought before the ICC, but that was never going to happen for a host of reasons.

So here again, Obama goes to Aurora and the platitudes proliferate. Can't go there and say - no more military small arms in civilian hands - like he (maybe) wanted to or there goes a slice of votes to Romney.

So I feel for Uncle Obama. He so desparately means well and wants to do the right thing, but so seldom is able to.

No, President 'I personally select the drone targets' Obama comes as a President seeking re-election.
