NYT: Obama Administration Has Lost All Credibility

[francoHFW]

Go ahead, then, repeal this policy- but Obama is not going to get ahead of Pubs and open himself to a tidal wave of bs about being soft on terrorism...Looks like the NYT got fooled...

Yep, it has been confirmed, the NSA is also spying on your internet habits:

Go there if you want more information.

You know it's troubling when you've ticked off the most liberal news outlet in America. The New York Times has now come out swinging after after news broke that the NSA signed off on an order requiring Verizon Wireless to submit the phone records of over 120 million subscribers to government officials. The Obama Administration has now come out defending the move.

Within hours of the disclosure that the federal authorities routinely collect data on phone calls Americans make, regardless of whether they have any bearing on a counterterrorism investigation, the Obama administration issued the same platitude it has offered every time President Obama has been caught overreaching in the use of his powers: Terrorists are a real menace and you should just trust us to deal with them because we have internal mechanisms (that we are not going to tell you about) to make sure we do not violate your rights.

Those reassurances have never been persuasive — whether on secret warrants to scoop up a news agency’s phone records or secret orders to kill an American suspected of terrorism — especially coming from a president who once promised transparency and accountability. The administration has now lost all credibility. Mr. Obama is proving the truism that the executive will use any power it is given and very likely abuse it. That is one reason we have long argued that the Patriot Act, enacted in the heat of fear after the 9/11 attacks by members of Congress who mostly had not even read it, was reckless in its assignment of unnecessary and overbroad surveillance powers.

Why wouldn't anyone trust Obama? After all, he is black.

You all were just as certain that Romney was going to win the election too. You've also brought scandal after scandal that simply hasn't worked out as you expected.

Calm down. Your bullshit has ticked off America. Nothing you say has any cred.

Nothing you says does either.....

Soooo, what does this have to do with my thread exactly?

You've referenced the opinion pages of the NYT. The opinion pages are NOT the most Liberal news organization. You're a little confused alright. The Opinion pages can be pretty wingnutty.

NYT: Obama Administration Has Lost All Credibility

How can you lose something you never had?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Hey, the right wing lost the 2008 election and suddenly realized it was passing the totalitarian torch it had created to a Democrat.

A little late to be waking up, kids.

You really are a partisan hack, aren't you? The right wing has no problem with what Obama is doing.

White House, senators defend massive phone surveillance program
