WELL, YES: Fearing election loss, the Obama administration rushed to “develop explicit rules for the targeted killing of terrorists by unmanned drones.” “That means that the President was fine with the lack of rules/standards/procedures to confine his own power.”

Also, for those claiming that Republicans’ belief that Romney might win represented some sort of delusional “epistemic closure,” well, not so much to judge from this. Unless the Obama White House was within the epistemic curtilage.
