My gods...

Can't the Obama Administration keep ANYTHING secret???

Michale

By all means.. I was beginning to think Obama has been abandoned! :D

Please don't be surprised when he fails to live up to the "Liberal' definition. Though feel free in joining mocking the Fox "News" Pundits who have to find ways to criticize President Obama for the very policies they were promoting yesterday.

FNC has their own problems that I really don't give a rip about...

*MY* only complaint has been why do ya'all support Obama when ya'all accused Bush of being a terrorist and a war criminal for doing what Obama is doing now??

The information is out there. It's being used to direct the advertising I receive. So why can't it be used to detect terrorists?

So, you are saying that you have absolutely NO problem with such data mining???

Did you defend President Bush against attacks from the Left over Data Mining??

Because *I* sure as hell did...

Michale

Sorry to interrupt.

But #9. We've always said that President Obama is a Center/Right Leader. It's the Republicans who have called him the "MOST LIBERAL PRESIDENT EVER!!!!"

CW,

I have a feeling that Jay Leno might be off the Obama Christmas Card list...

:D

President Obama, who’s often mocked for an over-reliance on scripts, shifted uncomfortably smiling for several moments buying time. An aide sprinted out with a hard copy of the speech, tripping at one point, adding to the drama.

OH.... MY..... GODS!!!

CW, I think you nailed it in your last Obama Poll Watch commentary..

June is *NOT* going to be a good month for Obama..

Michale

Looks like there are some Democrats who have lost the fear of pointing out that Emperor Barack the First has no clothes...

:D

Michale

By necessity, the world of Counter Terrorism is a shadowy world that MUST be kept secret..

As much as I "admire" Greenwald for consistently sticking to his principles regardless of the administration in power, he should be taken out at shot for revealing such classified information.

No, that's not really fair. He is simply doing his job, after all..

The person(s) that should be shot are those in the government that leaked this...

I have to honest though and say that this latest revelation has really caused me to do some serious soul-searching as far as Obama's Presidency is concerned.

While I will NEVER become an Obama-naut who hangs on his every word and reveres him as the second coming, I have to concede that, as a wartime POTUS, he IS doing a helluva good job...

Credit where credit is due...

Michale

Now THAT is just weird.....

REALLY weird.. :D

Michale

On the other hand, neither would we have ObamaCare..

So, I guess that's a fair trade for ya'all..

You get HealthCare "reform" and you get a police state that is a USSR/KGB wet dream...

I guess that's a trade off ya'all can live with.. :D

Michale

It sure has pushed the IRS, DOJ and Benghazi scandals off the front page...

If I were the paranoid hysterical anti-Obama type....????

Good thing I'm not, eh? :D

Michale

I think that what I have been saying for years has become abundantly and undeniably clear..

When it comes to Counter Terrorism, there really is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between Bush and Obama sans the '-x after their name...

Michale

According to the leaked documents, Bush is responsible for bringing MicroSoft and Yahoo into PRISM...

But it was the OBAMA Administration who added Google, Facebook and PalTalk in 2009. Obama added YouTube in 2010. Skype and AOL were added by the Obama Administration in 2011. And, the last holdout (Apple) was added to PRISM in 2012.

Let me ask everyone a serious question. And I truly hope that ya'all will respond with a serious answer..

If you knew back then what you know now about Obama's CT policies, would you still vote for Obama in the primary??

In the General??

Michale

NSA taps in to systems of Google, Facebook, Apple and others, secret files reveal
• Top secret PRISM program claims direct access to servers of firms including Google, Facebook and Apple
• Companies deny any knowledge of program in operation since 2007

I am simply gabberflasted that no one here is saying "boo" to this...

Back under the Bush years, Weigantians were adamantly against even a HINT of such powers, as evidenced by the comments of the era..

I would have really cleaned up the quatloos if I had bet back then that Weigantians, as a whole, would readily accept a POTUS that was Bush/Cheney 10 times over.. :D

It's amazing how I don't even have to bother to make the points I made under Obama that I had to make under Bush in 2007..

Because we are all (with notable exceptions) on the same page as far as the usefulness of these exact actions..

I have to hand it to you CW. You called it perfectly back then as to exactly where we were heading..

But did you ever think that the Left side of the American people would not say a peep about it??

I would never have called that accurately in a million years...

Because THAT (I believe) is *the* question that haunts us in the here and now..

Not the actions and policies themselves..

But that they are so readily acceptable by the American people on BOTH sides of the political spectrum..

Michale

The problem is, NO ONE on the Left *wants* to have that debate... Not under the Obama Administration...

Because, to even CONCEDE that debate is necessary is to concede that Emperor Barack The First just *might* be buck-assed nekkid...

And absolutely NO ONE on the Left wants to even CONTEMPLATE going there....

So they will simply repeat by rote over and over and over ad nasuem...

Obama is good, Obama is great.. Obama is good, Obama is great..

The entire Left has so locked their entire being with that of Obama that to even CONSIDER speaking out, to even CONTEMPLATE actually DEBATING the wisdom is simply beyond the capability...

Now, me... I am apolitical.. I'll debate the wisdom of the POLICIES til the cows come home...

And, being that I am completely and unequivocally LOCK STEP with Obama on the policy, I'll win the debate each and every time..

Cause all I have to say is, "Obama does it" and viola.... Instant Debate Winner...

No Lefty can argue the point...
