Live Thread: Obama to Speak on State of the Sham Wow NSA Surveillance 11 A.M. EST 1/17/14
Friday, January 17, 2014 | Kristinn

Obama to speak on the NSA surveillance scandal from the Justice Department around 11 a.m. EST today.

C-SPAN's description:

The President delivers remarks at the Department of Justice presenting the outcomes of the Administration's review of U.S. signals intelligence programs. He is expected to focus on steps that increase oversight and transparency while leaving the framework of the surveillance programs in place. In addition, according to officials, the President will turn to Congress for guidance regarding the future of NSA data collection.

The President’s Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies recommended more than 40 suggested changes at the NSA in a wide-ranging report issued this past December. Administration officials say Obama is likely to embrace many of the recommendations.

He only just found out about this as it was reported by the media via Edward Snowden.

Looks like we have time to pop the popcorn and get in the shower.

Reuters WH reporter Jeff Mason via Twitter:

#Obama has not left the White House yet, so NSA speech will be a bit delayed. Motorcade still holding on the WH driveway.
