I sure hope my name pops up when Edward Snowden's list of Americans the Obama administration has been spying on becomes public.
You have to understand that for years I went into a deep funk having not been influential enough as a reporter to have made President Richard Nixon's famous "enemies list" back in 1973 and 1974.
I sat back at the old Boston Herald in deep depression when I witnessed many of my friends and colleagues in the media bragging around town how they had been important enough critics of Nixon to have made the list.
Obama’s actions and the lack of real response of the people are also making our Founding Fathers spin in their graves...
Obama’s propensity for spying would make Nixon JEALOUS
The point that some were making on Fox News is that while Nixon spied on politicians (not that we approve), Obama is spying on ordinary citizens.
And as Obamacare is being implemented it will just be getting much worse:
Hospitals Now Use Consumers’ Personal Habits (from credit card purchases) To Predict Health Issues

and I just remembered a prediction that is coming true — a short video:

Obama identifies a lot more people as enemies than Nixon did. To Obama, every American citizen is an enemy.
Narcissists are always suspicious of everyone else, because they do not measure up, nor can be trusted, as the “imperial we” can.
The difference between O and Dick is that underneath it all Dick loved his country. Although deeply paranoid about a press and the demo rats, Nixon still cared very much about the country and its future. O is a commie who supports a caliphate....
Let’s dare to compare: recently deceased former senator Howard Baker, Tennessee (R): senate majority head and Reagan’s chief of staff with ...
democrat senate head Hairy Reed.
Baker was a key figure in the Watergate investigations and kept repeating (some thought until he made a a PITA out of himself) the question,
“What did the president know and when did he know it?”
Whether you see him as a `McCain’ toad or Republican with integrity, can you imagine Hairy doing anything equivalent with Barry?
If you say, “No way in H-—” you’d be right.
IHO, Watergate was a `tempest in a teapot’ fanned by the MSM—it didn’t bother me anymore than it bothered Lynard Skinnard—and I further believe that it pales in comparison to any one of a large number of things done by Barry “Voldemort” the Boneheaded pResident.
OK, the point: as much as we slam the GOP, at least they can say they have the integrity of their convictions—even McCain can say that, while of course we say he’s also a backstabbing horse’s patoot.
The Democrats? Not so much. A Democrat would steal the coins from the eyes of his dead wife to hire a whore.
If you feel like I do, that every day it seems more like we are living in a computer generated reality, you might want to review some of the documents Snowden “retrived” for us.

This is one I found interesting. Want to know what can be done to “control” a population? Be afraid...be very afraid!
As Al Jolson used to say: “You ain’t seen nothing yet!”
Nixon had every right to bug the DNCC at Watergate, his problem is is failed to explain “why” to the American people.
And it should have been the FBI that did the wiretaps. The VVFW and the DNC were both in cahoots with the NVA leaders in North Vietnam.
