Although Obama could have ended the oppression of Americans the day he took the oath of office, he has continued George Bush's snooping into our lives.

Although the NSA Checkists claim to have stopped "dozens of attacks" one wonders why they did nothing to stop the Boston attack or the attack on our soldiers at Ft. Hood? Even when warned by Russia about the Boston attackers in advance.

Typical Soviet style justification. It is for the Rodina...you would not understand

Or you can stop a lot of people intent to do harm, but not all of them. Does your wife really appreciate all of your negative comments about her country of origin and indeed your own?

Here's the thing, this is like the seat-belt argument. Seat-belts save millions of lives but some JO always tries to justify not wearing his seat-belt because his cousin was in a wreck and "his seat-belt actually caused more damage". Yeah, I guess you win because you found one of the smaller anomalies in the greater statistical pool. Seat-belts saved a million lives last year but actually caused 20 deaths (made up statistics). Therefore, we shouldn't have seat-belts.

Yep. And nobody says a word or starts a rant when a terrorist attack DOESN'T happen due to the fact that it was found out about and stopped.

The best thing was when Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he didn't care that the government had his phone number, knew who he was calling, etc. Because it kept Americans safe.

He believes the government should have all the information they need/want to ensure the safety of innocents.

Except universal background checks for gun purchases. THAT would be too much.

These people are clowns.

It's the easiest and least painful way to know who thinks what.

So 9-11 was not Bush's fault.. WOW!

[RGinWA 816]

Every 9/11 attack from 2001 on is Bush's fault...everyone knows that silly.

Bush will be the blame in the far off future when stuff goes sideways on distant planets.
