same reason Bush was so not transparent. Please note this is my personal opinion on things. SO obama runs on being transparent. He wins, he gets into the office and is sat down by our intelligence agencies. They flat out tell him " look you need to do X,Y, and Z. or you will have another 9-11. "
So Obama is forced into doing these things.
Let me be clear though, Anyone who won or will win will have this happen to then. Had it been McCain or Romney. Its still wrong that they are basically held hostage.
I base this Opinion off a podcast i heard of a former head NSA Officer who tried to warn people of wiretapping and such and was ignored.
This doesnt excuse Obama, but if this is true, it puts any sitting president in a big pickle.
Now since i answered will i get a reasoned response in return or partisan shit flinging?
No, idiot, you dont get it. You cant get away with saying "But, Booosh" on this one. Obama is worse than Bush. Obama is less transparent than Bush. I realize it's like verbal tic with stupid lefties like you but this time it just makes you look more stupid than usual.
ok then you didnt read what i wrote, i wasnt blaming Bush you moron. Christ how stupid can you be.
You made an equivalence. You excused Obama's behavior because "they all do it." Even when you say you're not excusing him, you are, pointing out well he really HAD to do those things.
If he HAD to do those things just like Bush then his record would be like Bush's. But it isn't. It's much worse.
Obama is a worse president than Bush on every measure.
