(62,325 posts)way more than allegations. They are facts. And if you think this is about Obama, you have a very narrow view of what is important to this country. Facts were revealed, one of the biggest surveillance program in history, and aimed at the American people. There is simply NO defense for that. There is NO law that permits a blanket surveillance of innocent Americans. WE ARE NOT THE ENEMY.
Stop with the 'Obama' and 'Snowden' nonsense. Are people so blinded by partisanship that they actually do really think nothing is wrong with this?
The allegations that followed the revelations are against the NSA, populated still with Bush holdovers, and the Private Security Corporations who are accountable to no one but who received BILLIONS of tax dollars to do they job CONGRESS should be doing.
Then we have yet another Bush man, how many more are there in this administration, Clapper, former CEO of one of those Private Security Corps, going through the revolving door into a powerful position in our government, he is now Director of Intelligence. And he LIES to Congress. He is a Republican.
Why is Obama appointing and keeping so many Republicans in his administration? Are there no Democrats smart enough to appoint to these positions?
There needs to be hearings and Nadler along with other Democrats have called for those hearings.
Whey you have Cheney and Bolton and Fleischer on your side, on Obama's side, you need to seriously ask 'wtf is going on here' instead of accusing your fellow Democrats falsely of, essentially not caring about this country. Enough with the defensiveness. I could not care less about any politician unless s/he is standing up for our rights.
