Bush broke the law. President Obama followed it.

26. Your wife is right

Sadly such facts seem to be ignored here lately. I have never understood how the claim that "they are wiretapping everyone", or "they are tracking us everywhere we go" has found so many believers. Over 300 million people in the U.S. and the are "all" being watched and recorded?

It seems like the same old posters who are always upset with president Obama, have not joined the trolls that come here to stir up trouble, and there seems to be a lot more trolls posting lately who don't eve try and pretend they aren't simple anti Obama!

Now I don't like the idea that we are all being watched anymore than the next person, but reality is that we are NOT all being watched, and there are checks and balances that are in place. True sometimes things could go wrong, but since this has been going on for a long, long time, the odds are small that anyone here who is not doing something wrong would get thrown in jail for no good reason.

All I can say is we better hope people get out and vote for candidates who will help control this kind of thing, because if we sit on or butts and let the tea baggers and republicans end up getting elected in 2014, and then let a republican win in 2016, we can then really start to worry about things.
