U.S. Senators from both parties serving on the Senate Intelligence Committee have said, from what I've read, that they were aware of the information gathering, that it started during the administration of George W. Bush, and that the court in question reqularly renews the court order every x number of months. No smoking gun. No conspiracy. It's a long-standing operation which involves not just Verizon, but all of the telephone companies. And, as we now know ... it involves major internet companies as well.

I really took notice when this administration can jail any American without cause and keep them locked up.. where did our rights go? We don't have any anymore. The government can take anyone and jail them and throw away the key. Anyone!

Obama has no morality to follow so he tells whoever is in front of him and will gain him the most whatever they want to hear.

Don't worry he'll be removed from office or renders useless for the remainder of his term.

That's irrelevant because...
Obama said he would not re sign the Patriot Act. He also said that he would not sign the NDAA, but did while people were celebrating New Year's Eve. Among many other lies. He lied period. Can you supporters explain that?

If Obama didn't sign NDAA, it would be the first time a President would refuse to do so in a half century.

Hint: Do you know what NDAA is?

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a United States federal law specifying the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense. Each year's act also includes other provisions. The U.S. Congress oversees the defense budget primarily through two yearly bills: the National Defense Authorization Act and defense appropriations bills. The authorization bill determines the agencies responsible for defense, establishes funding levels, and sets the policies under which money will be spent.

He sure does like to use things he was against before becoming president.
