ok, so you have a problem with investigators using public forums that people freely register for, on which they choose to openly post about their illegal activity.

Now, what do you think of the PATRIOT ACT?

You have an issue with the government monitoring online social media outlets that have been proven to be used by terrorists such as Al Queda to recruit, corrupt, etc. supporters to their cause? What is wrong with you?

I have a problem with it. I also dont support the patriot act either

I think if the gov wants to look into your at all they need a warrant.

I value my right to privacy

ENOUGH of this big gov, nanny state, police state junk

um, no.
I was trying to point out the OP's hypocrisy for calling out Obama for monitoring social networks, on which people freely post whatever information they choose with the intent of public consumption (completely ignoring the lunacy of somehow tying this back to the president, might I add), when the PATRIOT act, the greatest legislative invasion of privacy aver passed in this country, was passed and championed by a REPUBLICAN president.
