- PhreakMac, on 07/16/2009, -4/+308Gotta love the left and the right both not giving a ***** about the American people.
- grumluvr, on 07/16/2009, -4/+270FTA "government lawyers say the lawsuit should be thrown out because it could lead to the disclosure of state secrets."
Government lawyers could use that argument to cover any illegal activity they want to undertake. - BottledViolence, on 07/16/2009, -11/+271Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
- mistergoomba, on 07/16/2009, -19/+191yes we can
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -15/+185this just in- obama is just the same as any other jackass weve had in office
- omnithought, on 07/16/2009, -12/+177***** we can believe in
- cubicledrone, on 07/16/2009, -2/+149"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States - WombleSlayer, on 07/16/2009, -19/+136"Change", eh?
- newes, on 07/16/2009, -16/+124I supported him in this last election but I cant' wait to vote against him in the next.
- bkraj, on 07/16/2009, -4/+108Incredibly disappointing.
- mesler, on 07/16/2009, -8/+109Now that's chang... ah, nevermind.
- pathouston22, on 07/16/2009, -21/+1211. Will raise taxes through cap and trade, lied like a Bush
2. Won't release White House guest list, covered up like a Bush
3. Defend's Bush's wiretapping, breaks the law like a Bush
Obama = Bush
Except that he spends more than Bush. - alanocu, on 07/16/2009, -31/+129So Obama is basically Bush with a week lag?
How about he let Cheney take over the hard stuff while he’s still on the training wheels. I think it would work well for him. Anytime something goes wrong, he can say, “That’s that bad Cheney!” I think he’s already starting to miss blaming things on the Bush administration, so he will probably really like that. And we all don’t get nuked. Everyone’s happy. - inactive, on 07/16/2009, -35/+122Time to wake up Obama lovers, your freedoms are being destroyed by this puppet who is the same as the last puppet. Vote Ron Paul in 2012 and save this country.
- YENK, on 07/16/2009, -14/+84You see -- the problem is that people take knowledge and tend to twist it to fit their own ideology rather than looking at facts for what they are.
To those who believed in Obama - It's time to wake up to the truth.
To those who still believe in Obama - You deserve whats coming.
Flame me all you want, but I am a political atheist and the bottom line is that this is not change we can believe in. - l800LEMMINGS, on 07/16/2009, -11/+80where's this change i voted for
- methdwman3, on 07/16/2009, -2/+71Obama voted for immunity to telecom companies at some point last year when in the Senate, so I am not sure why this is surprising.
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -16/+84I remember a whole lot of liberals all over the net saying ***** like "Oh, he'll get rid of it when he's in office. He just has to support the wiretapping stuff now in order to get elected."
I laughed then as I laugh now... suckers. - snagglefoof, on 07/16/2009, -6/+53: (
- zyklon, on 07/16/2009, -10/+55Red, blue... the only colour that really matters is green.
- drunkCatholic, on 07/16/2009, -7/+50Actually it still applies Sucka.
According to his campaign, this was supposed to be a different kind of administration. All of his supporters couldn't stop shouting Yes We Can at election time, and now it's being thrown back in their faces. - InetRoadkill, on 07/16/2009, -2/+40Which is why the courts must not let this stand. Conceivably, the 'state secrets' tag would allow any administration to conduct terrible crimes against political opponents or its critics and walk away with impunity.
The govt must not be allowed to sweep its crimes under the state secrets rug. It would render the whole notion of 'a nation under law' as meaningless. - drunkCatholic, on 07/16/2009, -11/+46Big ***** surprise.
If you really believed his Change and Hope ***** you should have your voters card revoked. - inactive, on 07/16/2009, -10/+44Wow what a surprise. America knew Obama was just as much of a scumbag as Bush even before his campaign. This is what happens when you vote for someone who signed off on the patriot act.
Lets see what the Obama apologists have to say about this one. - Mightbiteyou, on 07/16/2009, -3/+37

page 6, second bullet point. Clearly there must be something wrong he wouldn't lie to us, perhaps someone hacked his website and posted fake campaign promises. - drazen77, on 07/16/2009, -3/+36And this ladies and gentlemen is a perfect example of why you don't allow govt. to expand their powers to such a degree, I would argue at all but willing to bend on this somewhat. Regardless of administration or ideaology, the powers that be will take a mile if you give them an inch.
Here we have the Obama administration publicly condoning the policies of the administration before them while campaigning, but embrace those policies as a matter of course once they take power.
Fools, all of you, for believing the ***** that is fed to you during campaigns. - doshindude, on 07/16/2009, -25/+57Um, Ron Paul?
- AZExile, on 07/16/2009, -9/+40Well, as soon as he stops "being Hitler/Bush" you'll stop seeing the witty replies thrown in your regretful faces.
Next time, research your candidate before buying into his celebrity. - aclbosox, on 07/16/2009, -10/+41Ok people, this is acceptable now that Obama has given his approval. We can pick something else to bash republicans on now.
- rabidjester, on 07/16/2009, -5/+36If you thought the executive would ever give up any new power grabbed without a fight, even if it was obtained during another administration, you are a fool. And this is coming from an Obama supporter. It's one of those inconvenient truths.
This is mostly about divulging info about how the telcoms aided the governement when they asked - all the big telcos save a couple. As Mr Carlin said, some of the true owners of this place. - minoss, on 07/16/2009, -2/+32Which is exactly why the argument exists.
- algaeturd, on 07/16/2009, -3/+33Gotta love the ruling elite. I think most Americans want the best for their country; most are just too stupid to understand what that entails and what it doesn't.
They grow up around football and basketball with the assumption that it's 'us' vs. 'them' and Americans fall right into that, hating each other for the mistakes of a select handful of rich people.
I've said this a million times but if Americans were smarter, we wouldn't be lining up to follow a bunch of rich people who have only the interests of corporations and control in mind. Period.
That's the fatal flaw and the one we never overcome as a country. We're programmed to think that we have to hate the other side so every election hits about 50% 50% and it's a nail biter to the end. Couldn't be scripted better by Hollywood. - methdwman3, on 07/16/2009, -2/+30Sucka - It is relevant here because this is exactly the type of "change" he committed too - More transparency. If you're going to campaign on something and then not do it, you should get plenty of heat.
- methdwman3, on 07/16/2009, -4/+32I think people have a problem with him saying one thing and doing the complete opposite, which is what happened here.
- BrapAllgood, on 07/16/2009, -7/+34Best choice? NO. It was the easiest choice. Too many people are too lazy to even inform their own opinions before expressing them...so lazy that they let the media hand it to them on a platter, at which point they lap it up and ask for more.
Pavlov would be hysterical, right now. - plainOldFool, on 07/16/2009, -0/+26Is anyone actually surprised by this?
- paulvq, on 07/16/2009, -6/+32If you're going to run on campaign slogans like "change we can believe in" and continue the same policies, you deserve to be mocked.
- rockytop9808, on 07/16/2009, -9/+34Someone is burying you for quoting the Constitution.
Maybe someone who still loves Obama? - calmwriter, on 07/16/2009, -1/+26I also love all the "change" and "yes we can" comments. Take a watch of "Our Brand is Crisis" and you'll see that "yes we can" or "si se pude!" was tried out in South America in 04. The same strategist who advised Obama in 08 used it, because they needed a slogan that the uneducated, working poor could feel ownership in. Obama is a marketing tool. Period. We were duped into believing he'd bring change
.
Yes. We. Were. - CrazedLeper, on 07/16/2009, -3/+27No, the big picture is that the presidency, itself, has become totally obviated. How long did you think it would be before corporations with NO term limits began using their resources to influence who makes the laws to which they will be subjected? Nobody gets close to that chair unless a cabal of corporate contributors says so--and what would ever make them do that? Their own interests. The President--any president-- is merely a mouthpiece, a red herring and a puppet whose strings are being pulled from behind the scene while you, the American people, sit back and enjoy the show.
So what does any of that have to do with spying? The picture gets bigger still. - deema1, on 07/16/2009, -7/+31He's not missing blaming things on Bush. He did so earlier this week, a few short minutes after saying he accepts the administration's economic miscalls. Never mind the fact that they predicted the entire economy wrong, and eclipsed their worst-case scenario in just a few months after the stimulus was set to cap unemployment. Their economic ineptitude is still Bush's fault.
- zyklon, on 07/16/2009, -4/+28Different puppets, same masters.
- sragland, on 07/16/2009, -3/+27no offense, but gg to the people that voted for him, honestly.
not like i would have voted for mccain either, but *****, where are our are legit politicians, hmm? - elsenorpompom, on 07/16/2009, -3/+27It is not a liberal conservative thing it is a faction thing. The Democrats and Republicans are both factions of the kind warned about by Madison in Fed 10. Obama was the lesser of two evils, still though hes a corporatist in the same vein as Clinton. Remember the 96 telecom bill and how its lead to the disaster we call a wireless network. The power to wiretap anyone anywhere without a warrant is a power that no Democratic or Republican president will ever give up.
- deema1, on 07/16/2009, -12/+35The left gave up on this issue seven months ago, when Obama took the oath of office. They only cared about this, the Patriot Act, the wars, Guantanamo Bay, the government renditions, and other Constitutional tramplings when the person had an (R) next to their name.
- amishdigger, on 07/16/2009, -6/+29Obama is no different from GWB, except GWB never even *pretended* to protect our rights and the Constitution.
- drunkCatholic, on 07/16/2009, -4/+25With all of Obama's spending, all we'll have left is some spare change.
- Twenty, on 07/16/2009, -1/+22God damnit
***** this - Hetman, on 07/16/2009, -1/+22I am not surprised. Why would someone willingly give up power?
