KO and Turley on the continuation of wiretapping

Too sad. Time to deliver on promises Obama.

and how he continues to show up with Keith and Rachel.

Turley on Obama. "I think our president is more interested in programs than principles."

"People need to not be afraid tell the president that he can't do this, because of some kind of cult of personality, because what he is doing is frittering away our core rights and values."

(paraphrased)

This isn't right. He's "afraid" of the CIA? WTF?? Barack, get your mind right. You are going to cause an unbelieveable backlash.

finding out more powerful than we know. We lack translators. We are behind. He unfortunately needs them and yes if he pisses them off who knows what will happen to him.

when all that "loyalty oath" crap came out? Remember when they cleaned house at the CIA--dismissing veteran agents for their loyalty oath taking goose stepping boys? There may still be some agents who escaped the big sweep--but those running the show are * boys. Panetta better begin a hiring program and either re-hire some of those veteran agents that were let go or find new hires who believe in this country more than the neo-con agenda. Because froggie that scorpion will sting you at the first opportunity no matter how hard you try to appease it.

It's wrong. It was wrong when Bush/Cheney were doing it, and it's wrong for Obama to continue with the precedents they set.

Get your shit together, Obama. You cannot bring change by violating our civil rights.

... and Leahy said he won't do anything if he doesn't have Republican support.


$#*3*$^&#!!!!!!!!


This is a serious error by the administration, imho. As Turley just said (paraphrasing), 'He is frittering away our rights that our ancestors fought hard for.'


It appears that it will be up to the international criminal court to try our criminals if we will ever see justice.

on this issue. I don't know why there is not a national campaign to force this secrecy stuff into the light. It's now or never.

Be tricked and lied to.

get involved in our government? If it is to be it is up to (?)

?

the only 'hope' I've had in years was that 'change' would finally happen because of 'we' doing something other than what we've always done. But there is no 'we', and there is no 'hope' for that 'change', because 'no we won't' do a damn thing.

:mad:

I find it dangerous.

and quadruple-reverse psychology. Don'tcha see?? *Force* these absurd arguments to be adjudicated against, thus setting precedent against the "TSP" right up to and including the Patriot Act!! He's *pretending* to give in to the neocons in the intelligence community(by , get this: ACTUALLY GIVING IN to the neocons! HA, they didn't expect that!), and by overreaching, he's gonna prove how ridiculous their positions are! IN OPEN COURT!!!!11!

As a bonus, the freeptards heads will now explode because it's a fucking *COMMUNIST* who is gonna wiretap them now, and since they've all "got nothing to hide" (except them focus-on-the-family guys, whoops), as they swore over and over during shrub's reign, they can't say a damn thing about it! HA!

Barack's got it allllllllllll figured out, so DU, don't get your panties all bunched up in your pretty little heads. or somthing.

Giving the freeptards a taste of their own medicine may cause them to buck off what Bush* has done, but Obama needs to be the one to do it and not let them take the credit for it.

Govt has to be responsible to the people, not the other way around. Someone needs to convince Obama of this. Where is Joe Biden?

and make it right. The American people are entitled to better than this.

That right there was a promise that he will continue the wireless wiretaps once in office.

our support. I believe most still voted for him, but this was a huge contention last June right on this website. He promised he would go back and revisit this once in office, and now he has. Instead of doing the right thing and discontinuing the wire-tapping he has now gone to court to ensure even broader powers for himself than Bush did. That is extremely serious and everyone on this site should be concerned about it.

:(

Completely.
