In reply to the discussion: Snowden admits vedetta against Obama [View all]okaawhatever
(9,565 posts)that. He said that Obama took the program from the executive branch to the legislative branch and added oversight. Not to mention the changes that were made post Comey fall out. His claim is total crap. He probably doesn't like the fact that Obama used the new program to finally catch China hacking and was planning on addressing it at that meeting. The notion that he can even look at himself in the mirror in Hong Kong and say that he believes in free speech and no government oversight on the internet/phones etc is laughable. The Obama "expansion" program is what gave us unequivocal proof of Chinese hacking into California State Universities, the Dalai Lama, several pharma research, our energy grid, Chinese human rights activists, our F-35 program and so on. it's also odd that he's offered no proof of his claims about Obama expanding the program. The data mining and phone were already covered in Laura Poitro's NYT article. I guess people will believe his crap without question. I personally believe he's a Chinese agent, but that's just my opinion. I do think there's plenty of info to question his motive.
