Obama is supposed to be for government transparency, so why is he so tough on whistle blowers? http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/national-interest/item/55513 http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2058340,00.html http://mobile.seattletimes.com/story/today/2021026821/track-.-.-./ Why is he so horrendous on civil liberties? "The NDAA, an otherwise mundane annual bill that lays out the use of funds for the Department of Defense, has come under attack during the Obama administration for the introduction of a provision last year that allows the military to detain United States citizens indefinitely without charge or trial for mere suspicions of ties to terrorism. Under the 2012 NDAAs Sec. 1021, Pres. Obama agreed to give the military the power to arrest and hold Americans without the writ of habeas corpus" http://rt.com/usa/obama-ndaa-detention-president-288/ Why is the NSA spying on Americans? This is all very disturbing to me, and it should be disturbing to you as well. If this somehow doesn't bother you at all, please try to convince me that you don't have your partisan blinders on.
Obama is an empty suit, an "insert your own personality" president. He is supposedly a bringer of peace (despite the fact he brought about more deaths in one year than Bush managed in three). He is supposedly a man of great intelligence (providing "intelligence" is defined by being able to read an autocue better than Bush, which is not exactly hard). In fact he is nothing more than just another figurehead told what to say by the corporations and bankers who really run the US.
yeah hows that great hope and change coming along for you Gary? hee hee. This fraud liar said he would not do anymore of the crimes the Bush family committed and put a stop to them instead he has EXPANDED all of them.
And if the military is detaining anyone, are they even under any obligation to let the public know about it? Or could the detainee just be counted as a "missing person" ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_disappearance
"I intend to have the most open and accountable administration in the history of the United States" = business as usual 'Obamaspeak'. All hail and give praise to the Ministry of Truth. as we all know 'peace is war."
you have to be naive to think obama saying he intended to have an open administration meant that he was going to open up classified information for our enemies inspection or have control over every little bean counter working for the federal government
