Let's say that when Obama became president he meets with Clapper, Mueller, Comey, Alexander, etc. and they tell him that they are operating an elaborate security system (read spy system) that is guaranteed to keep America safe. They may even tell him that their programs are pushing the envelope on legality, but.......if he, Obama makes changes, like appointing some damn Constitutional loving liberals, then they cant be responsible for keeping American safe. Not a threat, just the facts. If a terrorist attack occurs on Obama's watch, and he messed with the system, bingo-bango Obama owns it.
