55. Obama has committed grievous wrongs

Tue Jun 11, 2013, 11:49 PM

Jun 2013

He's spying on hundreds of millions of Americans. He wanted to keep that secret from his targets for a period of 25 years. His DNI is lying to Congress--not that Congress seems to give a shit, but people with morals do. Obama has greatly hurt the Democratic Party (not that some of the Congressional Dems aren't also complicit), and there may be a measurable effect in the mid-terms. The President has damaged foreign relations, and you haven't heard the last of that by a long shot. This is one hell of a scandal, but you go right on telling everyone it isn't, and let me know how that works out for you.
