Obama said it was OK. But since he is the halfblood prince it's OK.

Who said that domestic wiretapping is okay?

There is more outrage over a random Trump tweet than there ever was over this

I don't know what I'm outraged about yet. Zeroohedge isn't news.

Zerohedge is hardly the only outlet reporting on the massive spying under Obama. Thanks for proving the point

The aclu sued Obama a gazillion times.

I knew that bastard was looking at my private pics...

This all started with the Patriot Act and has gotten worse ever since, including now. It's going to happen no matter who is in office.

Once the cat is out of the bag it never goes back in.

so, Obama had no choice?

I agree. Now I think the NSA is blackmailing our own government.

Hey, you linked an actual news source! Good for you!

I read it.

Looks like the ACLU is on the case. A little bemused seeing GOP-types getting all rah-rah over the ACLU, but, you know, baby steps.

Anyhoo - I don't see the Kenyan Usurper's fingerprints on this thing yet, other than that the intercepts occurred during his administration (he's still ultimately responsible). Hopefully the ACLU litigation will be able to uncover evidence of NSA chicanery if they were intentionally spying on US nationals.

It's not that he had no choice, he was never part of the equation. He has some control over the military. The clandestine services will never be ruled, managed, or even inconvenienced by a guy in an office.

I pulled the links out of the zerohedge news article for you since it seems to be such a difficult struggle for you and some others here.

RaceBannon

Its not the Black guys fault. He was only CIC for 8 years.

This is the problem when the media is sold out to one side, either side. What doesn't get reported or pushed to the front is more important than what does.

I'd be embarrassed to be the NY or LA Times and start running bullshit about supporting truth after Trump gets elected. Truth matters when a democrat is in the white house too.

Its their own fault they are such an easy target to be marginalized. They did it to themselves. When you get better analysis at the Tug than the Times its an issue

I liked when they did that poll and it's like 55 percent of Americans trust cnn more than trump.

Like well yeah. That's bad. 45 percent of Americans trust a fucking politician more than the supposed news.

But to any limp wristed leftist pussbag Obama could do no wrong.

Obama wanted to change it, he was just too weak and scared to try
