[Hoot Gibson]

I don't see how we can rip a Democrat President so bad for this, when it was a Rupublican that opened the door for all of this too happen.

Why not? Obama renewed the authorization for the Patriot Act and has expanded the program. Besides, as Americans, we can rip both Obama and Bush for what is being done, as well as all of the members of Congress who knew what was going on. It makes no sense not to criticize the current administration because the roots of PRISM took hold in a previous administration.

Obama ran on a transparent government program, and no administration since Nixon has been less transparent with its operations. No administration in history has claimed ignorance as a defense for wrongdoing and incompetence so many times. The buck never lands on Obama's desk.
