Is Obama going to rein in the NSA finally?

[mamooth]

It's not just Obama's job. Congress should be actively legislating. But congress doesn't want to touch it. They prefer either useless bitching, or pontificating about fighting terrorism.

Or is this just gonna be an empty rhetoric speech?

Just more talk.

He wasn't addressing the people who think for themselves. He was addressing the crowd that actually believes anything he says. He sounded assuring and that is all some need to move on.

He isn't going to stop the phone monitoring, claiming it's to protect Americans. Spying on us in hopes of discovering some terrorist plot is the new plan. Never mind that the only thing they'll end up with is a long list of political enemies. Meanwhile, we've spent billions arming the Muslim Brotherhood and the al Qaeda Syrian rebels. Terrorists are stronger than ever and the average person can't have a private conversation.

Sleep well tonight.

He's lying, as usual.

It's just another attempt to act like they're doing something about it.


Fact is they are spying on us. They have no intention of stopping.

Obama will rein in the NSA, and then, the next time there's a terrorist attack, all the Obama haters who demanded that he rein in the NSA will blame the attack on Obama's having reined in the NSA.

It's another empty rhetoric speech in a weak-assed attempt to try and boost some lagging poll numbers.

Seriously? After 5 years of Obama you still have to ask?

Here is a simple rule to follow when dealing with any politician- IGNORE WHAT THEY SAY. WATCH WHAT THEY DO.

talk is cheap.......

NOPE.

Congress Defers to President On NSA Reform

Are we really expected to believe that a commission appointed by the president to look into the activities of the president’s intelligence services will come to anything more than a few superficial changes to give the impression of real reform?"

Whats really sad is DESPITE all the spying both on us and foreigners the program has seemingly not stopped any terrorist attack. I mean there were TONS of red flags about the Boston boys even WITHOUT spying and we still couldn't stop it. So all we're left with is the hope that losing privacy will somehow help?

Maybe it is a case of, you have to want to stop it from happening.

Do you think ex-cons should have their phones wiretapped?

I mean, they are more likely to be involved in illegal activities than a randomly selected Muslim.

Isn't being more likely equal to probable cause?

Sure. Thats why Grampa should have his phone wiretapped before a random Muslim should. Right?

Depends, if Grampa was convicted of terrorism maybe but if not then no.
