The only one making it about Obama are the ones defending NSA. Don't get mad at the messengers who say the political process has failed. All of America on both sides know this. It's only pros who are defending it anymore. The problem isn't democrats principles in general...it's that those in key positions have rolled over because they accept being the B-Team. The Executive branch has lots of power as we say all the time and Obama could wield it if he wished regardless of howuch you capitalize your letters in frustration. It's indefensible. Do you know how many Monsanto lobbyists he has appointed? Around 15 to positions that do not require congressional approval. By the time people wake up to this it will be too late and you will have The Evil Jeb Bush as president an he will be laughing all the way to the bank as he has gamed you all...because you have to stick up for yourself and fight when you are attacked or lied about otherwise you will always fail no matter how many lame excuses you come up with to exonerate yourself. It's a war people and that means not rolling over and when someone does repeatedly without rhyme or reason then something is amiss. Maybe key democrats are victims of blackmail...who knows except they sure aren't acting like they want to challenge much and those do end up strangely tragedies from Robin Cook, JFK entire family , weapons inspectors, Michael Hastins of the world, sen Udalls brother, Paul Wellstone etc etc. Nader 2016. Lol
