In what is as close to saying 'trust us, we're from the government,' as it gets; President Obama's traitor-identifying, blame-pointing, cover-your-assing speech on Friday has done nothing to end the supposedly "critical NSA counter-terrorism tool," from being used on American citizens. People of America should be relieved, as the President stated unequivocally that he is "comfortable that the program is not being abused." If only American citizens were able to see all the moving pieces, Obama implied, they would say "you know what? These [government] folks are following the law," but because the program remains classified, it remains impossible to know what is really going on. Reassuring rhetoric aside, as the AP notes, Obama offered these inspiring words regarding the ongoing concerns that law-abiding citizens may still have beyond his assurances: "I would be worried too, if I weren't inside the government." Another teleprompter-less glimpse of what he really thinks? Perhaps; but for now, the NSA will continue to sweep phone records of all Americans with the possibility of creating similar databases of credit card transactions, hotel records, and Internet searches.

What does it matter if HE is comfortable with it?
He was comfortable with SMUGGLING MACHINE GUNS TO NARCO KINGPINS...!
He’ll march us all of to the Gulags —COMFORTABLY.
I would so totally love your post to be read at a press conference !
I missed that line in Friday’s cloud of blather.
Bravo, Zero. Bravo!
pure bollox
20 years ago we used to laugh at the black helicopter crowd. Those were the salad days of quaint little conspiracy theories : UFO's, New World Order, Reptilians from Draco, Prison Planet, David Icke,
Just wow . . and this former disbarred shyster, community rabblerouser, roof hitting, Affirmative Action citizen from parts unknown whom no one has even satisfactorily told us even what his REAL FREAKING NAME IS is completely "in charge" of all of it" and certainly the only one of us immune from any of it.
When people went to the ballot box in November 2008 little did they know that we would end up with Cleavon Little and Pee Wee Herman running the country! God help the USA!
(totally censored)......Stalin could have said the same thing!
Yes, His Arrogance is going to nominate Eric The Corrupt Holder as the Ombudsman for the Public before the FISA Court. The disinterested civilian review board will consist of the failed loser cabinet appointees from his first term. Transparency .....
Oh Barack Obama! Guess what they just told me you keep in your sock drawer! Yes, that Hawaii birth certificate that says you were foaled in Kenya....
Obama left out the true meaning of the statement. I added the underlined text.
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
obama would make nixon blush.
And still the democrats vote for him blindly.
(Just kidding of course, I don’t know if he was, he might be for all I know, the charade is intensely suspicious. But I bet a lot of interesting stuff will leak AFTER he has vacated 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.)
Ronald Reagan warned us that if we are not diligent, the ability to lose our Freedom is merely one Generation away. He as right of course, and here we are living the Nightmare.
Love it! You are spot on. How on earth has he not been impeached. It’s just downright unreal that he is President of the US
Impeachment File on Communist, Benghazi Coward “B. Hussein Obama,” formerly known as Barry Soetoro, currently a Legal Citizen of the Sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
by the looks of the illustration of Weeping Liberty, its not of “modern vintage” so it really does qualify as quite prophetic indeed.
I worked for NSG which was a part of NSA in the ‘60’s. The NSA then wasn’t a rudderless ship running operations at will. NSA acted based on orders from their superiors who gave them direction. Their ultimate superior is now Cleavon Little and I imagine NSA is still taking actions based on direction, however lousy that might be.
“We’re not interested in spying on private citizens”, cooed Obama - this is all a head-fake to see how much they can get away with, warm up their systems, and desensitize the populace before the real show begins - once they have everyone’s medical, employment, financial and political records tied together and only a mouse click away from complete disclosure, they’ll know exactly who to target by the IRS, EPA, DOJ and anyone else they need to completely sideline all opposition......
That really puts me at ease. Yeah.
Great post!
His NSA intel gathering would be somewhat more acceptable if he was really interested in protecting Americans and targeting terrorists.
However he is far too keen on targeting political enemies for this NOT to be the main focus of this intel.
I bet he’d hate Obamacare too if he weren’t in the government and actually had to live under it.

All you other suckers should be concerned.
