(61,033 posts)It's pretty apparent that the President has shown extreme reluctance to invade other countries, i.e. Egypt, Libya, Syria. And good thing too because he accomplished more in getting rid of tyrants and chem weapons by not invading than Bush did with all his bombs and bluster.
Greenwald's 46, no innocent 20-something. Where was he 10 years ago at age 36 when Bush/Cheney were pushing the Patriot Act on us and invading Afghanistan and Iraq and authorizing the NSA?
Now he's apparently had an awakening and discovered that the NSA exists so he's going after Obama now like this president is the serial invader/spy master/Patriot Actor that he somehow missed being concerned about 10 years ago.
Hell, Greenwald, the NSA existed and was operating long before Obama who just happened to have quite a few things on his plate when he took office many big, big complex problems to try and solve, all the while being obstructed by other conservatard libertarians like yourself.
Did you notice he's just getting around to immigration reform this week something he promised to do in 2008 because of the huge plate load of intractable problems he's had to deal with?
And this president is the one who is helping smooth the way for gays to get married here and live normally, but you can't come back now can you? Ah the irony, the pro gay rights President being pilloried by a recently awakened and recently politicized libertarian journalist
What a pity.
