On CNN right now: "Obama's Second Term Slump"

There it is, everybody. They're talking about the bullshit that is the NSA "scandal". They're pointedly NOT talking about the SUBSTANCE of the Charlie Rose interview, because then they'd have to admit that there is no spying, there is no illegal activity, there is no invasion of privacy.

Obama's second term slump. The GOP is going to win the midterms and the GOP is going to get the presidency after that and it's all because Democrats are being fooled by this bullshit. Hook, line, and sinker

Oh my? Are they going to put troops back into Afghanistan, reopen Gitmo, invade Syria, rescind single-payer healthcare, and implement mass spying on Americans?

Thatd be terrible.

Over the top anti-obama - we're supposed to believe it is acceptable because of the latest scandals, it is NOT, note Obama's ratings have dropped 8% - we should not be helping on DU

News outlets were already clambering for Obama's Second Term Slump before he was even re-elected.

Convince everyone that he's not tapping their phones.

He can't do that. Well, he could. But he won't.

Others may value their privacy differently.

And apparently news of this slump started before the NSA stuff came out.

70% of Americans don't want the US arming Syrian rebels. Obama is doing it anyway. There are some things is he responsible for whether you believe it or not.
