Wiretapping Memos Drafted in 'Inappropriate' Secrecy: Report

What is funny is that all of the people will come here and bash Bush for this stuff, and not one person will mention that Obama is still doing the same stuff.

There is much out about it on the Net today Doctor, the more comes out the worse it grows and stains a once proud nation badly yet some fools fail to stop and take stock of what has transpired and that I find disgusting. I make a prediction tonight as I type, we are at a crossroads and have been for a long while with the problems finally becoming so blatant they can't be ignored.....The prediction goes like this, if people can't or refuse to see above the Party Line no matter which party we are doomed as a nation which once stood proud. The Corporate machine has no choice but to get the mighty machine going again or it all fails and then Republican and Democrat alike will be in the same sinking boat and there will be no time left to point fingers or blame. The time to stop that is now, rise above the petty trash and move forward as 1 people united together to raise this once great nation back to it's rightful place or we all perish under the failed wheels of the machine....simple as that...Now the name calling can begin for I honestly do not care what they call me, I honestly no longer care because in the end I am American a country that once was free and strong, I long to see if it will ever be that way again as it once was I doubt some people have what it takes to make that happen but at my age I grow to where it no longer matters what they decide for it will be theirs to destroy further.

Splendid just splendid UrUander. If I knew you, I'd kiss your feet.

re: godawgs -- sort of a fair point, but as Bush himself once said, you can't just "wave a magic wand" and make the realities of these policies go away; EVIL take a LONG time to dismantle, and Bush created a CRAPLOAD of evil. To the specific point of this story, you are actually wrong. Obama has NOT drafted memos in secret to bypass government checks and balances, quite the contrary in fact. But there is only so much of the unmitigated EVIL Bush created and approved of that you can bring out into the light at a time, lest the entire function of the country start turning inward as it did with Bill Clinton's affair. It would be wonderful if we could do a full examination, but at this particular moment it would wreck the forward momentum. My suspicion is that once the economy is showing strong signs of growth, more "revelations" and investigations will appear.
