That NSA Anti-Spying rally held today in D.C.

[JDPriestly]

10. The NSA and Obama are two different issues.

The surveillance was going on well before Obama became president. It is not his fault. Continuing it is his responsibility. But the NSA just kind of goes on and on and on and on . . . .

Please read the post there.

I tend to believe Obama. I suspect that he is not being told the truth by some of his aides.

A lot of Republicans have contempt for him. A lot of conservatives do. Some of these characters may well think that they have better judgment than Obama

I don't think people especially blame Obama, however, I also believe that they would like him to stop these excesses. And they are excesses.

Surveillance and collecting phone and internet records for people who are suspected of terrorism or crimes based on probable cause is acceptable. But this broad surveillance absolutely is not.
