Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) on Tuesday defended the Obama administration's domestic spying programs, arguing that, unlike the secret surveillance under President George W. Bush, the current programs appear legal.

The man’s a liar.
Well he moved his lips.
Who buys this crap ?
He’s right...Bush was tracking terrorists and Obama is tracking Republicans.
Well Drudge posts it.
Nice try....
Name sounds like a venereal disease.."Sir you tested positive for Steny Hoyer, you'll have to reveal who you've had sex with in the last 90 days"
Doing a CYRE.
Yep, no comparison at all -
Under Bush, the program was looking for external threats to our country.
Under Obama, the program is looking for threats to the power of Obama and the democrats.
Under Bush, the program examined phone records of incoming international calls from known terrorists so that their domestic contacts could be watched more closely.
Under Obama, the program stored ALL phone records so that people on Obama’s enemies list could be harassed by various government agencies.
I agree there is a huge difference:
Bush knew where to draw the line and Obama has shot past the line
Probably for the good humor value.
“Appear”, huh?
Would you buy a used car from Steny?
The difference is Americans trust Bush not to violate sacred trusts for political purposes and Obama is well past that. Obama-Axlerod-Jarrett are not good people.
Stuxnet revelation!
Benghazi sham story!
IRS to stop political opponents!
Politicization of the bureaucracy!
Bring back Bush!
What Bush is alleged to have done is not relevant.
The only thing that matters is what Obama actually did.
He fits right in with Obama’s Ministry of Truth...
A terrorist is in the eye of the beholder...

Funny how Democrats across the nation overwhelmingly support more agressive NSA data collection under Obama but opposed more tepid NSA data collection under Bush. They’re inconsistent, biased and hypocritical.
HUH?
Its the same programs only Obama EXPANDED THEM..
Mr. Stoyer thinks we are all dumb asses.......
