It's quite ironic since many leaks have come right from the WH. You won't see him go after them though.

Talk to anyone aged 35 or older from Central Europe and hear their chilling tales on the parallels between European "state security" and our federal government. They will tell you straight up that they see the creeping similarities in this country.

I was about to consider Rmoney. Now that NC is pretty much a lock for Romney, I can switch back to Gary Johnson.

If Obama had followed through on his campaign promise of having an open and transparent government, this wouldn't be an issue at all. Unfortunately, that promise went out the door along with the rest of his campaign promises the minute he won the election.

Funny how I actually agree with many of the comments on this thread, he's persecuting more whistle blowers than even Bush Jr. did. Why do you think he's pushing so hard to arrest and extradite Julian Assange from wikileaks ? This is just another long list of reasons why he won't have my vote and neither will Romney, 3rd party all the way !!

Change We Can Believe In -"Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government."

Obama man needs a new proof reader, clearly he meant "persecute" rather than "protect".
