so you see Snowden as a 'patriot' akin to Mandela.

I personally find your analogy extremely offensive and infactual.

Is it too much to ask that you not trash this thread about the president's historic and important visit with this flamebait?

I like to be reminded of the good as often as possible.
Our President doesn't get much respect by so many here, both DU and the USA in general.
