Yikes!

Quote:
President Obama has sought to maintain several Bush administration national security policies that he opposed during the presidential campaign.
The latest is wiretapping.
Obama strongly backs the secret wiretapping program started by President George W. Bush, a White House lawyer told a federal judge in San Francisco Wednesday.
Now I can support Obama on this decision, how about you Dems?

Difference is, it's no longer a secret. If there's no secret then there can be oversight.

It's just as wrong now as it was then. We will fight Obama on this.

It's funny that the koolaid doesn't seem to work when Obama does something wrong. Why is that? Why would we be angry at our Messiah? Hmmm.

Tank seems to think there'll now be oversight now that it's not "secret".

Where did he get that sweet sweet bootlegged kool-aid?

Why are you asking me? The fact is that our knowledge of the program, and the lawsuits that are proceeding based on that knowledge will hopefully put an end to the practice.

It was illegal under Bush. Now it's just a big mistake. And it needs to end.

Don't forget.
One phone call by this man
stops the slaughter of innocents
by noon.

Silent approval is deafening.

Congrats! You're not a messiah worshipper. But it was foolish to suggest others weren't trying to somehow spin it as a good thing, ergo worshipping Him based on this foolish decision to spy on Americans.

His was epic fail post of the day. Wow.
