With all due respect,
Chad.
Obama is the biggest supply side president ever.

Find a bigger trickle down program in US history than all of the QE under Obama. You can't.

You don't believe in trickle down and you applaud Obama when he says he opposes trickle down policies...then you quickly look the other way when he has the biggest trickle down policy ever on his watch. It would be nice if you had principles.

Oh and speaking of tax breaks, hypocrisy and sheer ignorance - when Obama says Romney would have let GM and Chrysler go bankrupt and then Obama's supporters go into hysterics... #1 GM and Chrysler DID go through bankruptcy, but the Obama administration didn't let them go through a normal bankruptcy, which means the new GM CEO and Obama's Car Czar have both said that they didn't do enough to fix GM's problems they just got government money thrown at it... #2 GM got massive tax breaks and consumer subsidies into the future that Obamabots always conveniently leave out of the equation when talking about the cost of saving GM.

This thread is nothing more than a political attack on Obama (for something GW Bush created, started, and then handed to Obama.)
Wow you libs are still blaming bush? Bush has been out of office for FIVE years. This is all on Obama now.

I was working in the office that managed SR-71, U-2, and RC-135 (an NSA collection platform) reconnaissance missions in the early 80s. It was Reagan who by executive order authorized us for the first time to start spying on American citizens, at first for drug operations for the DEA and terrorist operations for the FBI. We were rather startled--it sure looked to us like a breach of posse comitatus.

This was one of the operations we participated in--I myself planned the U-2 mission that supported the April 19, 1985 seige of this domestic terrorist group in Arkansas.

Feinstein is outraged that the CIA spied on her committee's internal meetings.
She says the CIA is violating the 4th Amendment !!
ROFLMAO.
Neither the WH nor the DOJ are speaking out.

They are eating their own now.
The CIA spying on the Intelligence Committee hearings. Oh the irony of it all.

I wonder who got that CIA spying info. I'm sure they didn't do it just for the sake of doing it.

I do not have to "fight back" for my "freedoms" to be "restored". I never lost any to start with. I still say and do what I please. I do not have to fight congress or the "Intelligence" agencies. These are self referential organizations that will destroy themselves in their own self delusion.

If this has been going on for decades under both parties, then why did the OP only mention Obama's name?
President Obama's name is in the title of this thread because that's the title of the Guardian article I linked to.

My observation is that the Intelligence Agencies have gone rouge and neither the President nor Congress know how to rein them back in. In essence, we've had a coup and our country is now run by a military junta.
