First of all, the program that Obama - along with most of us - was railing against was a program without warrants and without oversight. That has been changed.

And we are NOT a "Totalitarian" state, and I resent any indication that we are living in one. This is an insult to everyone living in the US.

Regardless, we should be having a serious discussion about rights and security, and by misrepresenting them you are distracting from the discussion we should be having.
