As long as he keeps starting and nurturing wars of choice, Barack Obama and his family will continue to be safe and protected. If he shut down 27 plus wars of choice… he and his family become fair game for the mean right wing spin machine.
The profiteers and cons he has surrendered to (and so well-served) would be quick to string him up. So our demonstrable war criminal of a president takes the path of least resistance and most comfort. He lets the CIA and the Pentagon call the shots. (even when they are shooting at one another)
What is a few trillion dollars and a few million lives against the
safety and security of his family?
Didn’t our Founding Fathers warn us about this sort of predicament?

― James Madison, A Memorial and Remonstrance, on the Religious Rights of Man: Written in 1784-85
“…But besides the danger of a direct mixture of Religion & civil Government, there is an evil which ought to be guarded against in the indefinite accumulation of property from the capacity of holding it in perpetuity by ecclesiastical corporations.”
“Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies debts and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.”
― James Madison, The Letters of Pacificus and Helvidius (1845) with the Letters of Americanus
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to
