(57,936 posts)His appointees are doing these awful things. He sure got rid of Sibelius quickly. He needs to do that at some other agencies. That he keeps the clowns that he appointed in their positions proves that these are his policies.
Sorry. But the president appointed jerks to a lot of his cabinet and regulatory agencies. It's a shame. Hillary will do the same.
That's why I am supporting Elizabeth Warren and/or Bernie Sanders for president in 2016. I am sick of the third way crowd. They hype us into thinking they are Democrats, but then when you look at their appointments you realize they are pro-big-corporations and anti-the-American-people.
Where in the world was Obama's NSA when Rodgers posted on the internet in plain view that he was going to kill women? If they aren't looking for death threats, what are they looking for?
What does the NSA do with the information it collects?
Homeland Security spied on the peaceful Occupy groups, but not on someone who plainly threatens to kill innocent people?
Looks to me like Obama's Homeland Security department is more interested in placing political dissidents under surveillance than gun-nuts and crazy killers. Not that I think they should put either group under surveillance. But the fact that they put groups of "peaceable" (Amend. 1, Const.) political demonstrators under surveillance but not violent hate groups tells you what is really going on in the Obama administration and in some prior administrations.
