Analysis: Snowden's options appear to narrow in bid to evade U.S. arrest

23. He's only a coward and a hack because you're afraid he makes President Obama look bad.

You're NOT fooling anyone. Each and every day puts this business farther and farther away from President Obama. You can slow down now...

Look, I've been rude to you before, and for that I'm going to issue a public apology right here and now. I apologize.

I do not believe for a second that Snowden's intent here was to embarrass President Obama OR his administration. Given what I've seen of your posts, I have to think your opinion is that's EXACTLY what he was intending to do. That's okay though; I understand where you're coming from.

Your constant posts claiming this or that about Snowden or Greenwald and how they're as evil as Lex Luthor give you away though. YOU think this IS about President Obama. It's not; it's about government actions many layers away from President Obama. NO DUers want this to bring shame on President Obama's administration, nor do they want it to taint his legacy. If you believe that to be untrue, I'd respectfully ask that you name names so we can get to the bottom. President Obama's name only comes up because he heads the Executive Branch.

For me, the implication made by dragging a ten mile wide net through the air trying to catch smoke means someone in "the government" has decided, by some strange and secret interpretation of Section 215 of the Patriot Act (which we're not privy to and which is something I find offensive) that we're all guilty and the government will treat us as such. Let us not forget that the acronym FISA stands for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

This isn't about President Obama, and it's not going away. Would that you could accept that for what it is.
