Allow me to convince you otherwise.
President Barack Obama has prosecuted [url=http://www.salon.com/2012/02/09/obamas_unprecedented_war_on_whistleblowers/]twice as many whistle-blowers as every other president [i]combined[/i].[/url]
When journalists weren't giving up information about who leaked sensitive information to them, [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/14/us/phone-records-of-journalists-of-the-associated-press-seized-by-us.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0]Obama used the DOJ to illegally confiscate the Associated Press's phone records.[/url]
And, of course, there is the [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/21/us/politics/irs-scandal-questions-and-answers.html]harassment of the Tea Party by the IRS.[/url]
Let's not forget the collection of data. Regarding which a former counterterrorist agent said [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt9kRLrmrjc]no digital communication is secure.[/url] Apparently, in 2010, [url=http://projects.washingtonpost.com/top-secret-america/articles/a-hidden-world-growing-beyond-control/print/]the gov't was intercepting 1.7 billion emails and calls a day. [/url]
The extra-judicial killings of U.S. citizens, [url=http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2097899,00.html]without properly checking if they're innocent or not.[/url]
Last but not least is Obama's complicity in torture, [url=http://www.salon.com/2009/02/16/treaties/]resulting in the breaking of a legally binding convention,[/url] and [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/15/opinion/hunger-striking-at-guantanamo-bay.html?hp&_r=2&]allowing people to suffer horrible abuses.[/url]
You might not agree with everything on the list, but there's something for everybody.

Darrell Issa (R-CA) and his House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that only Tea Party organizations applying for tax-exempt status “received systematic scrutiny because of their political beliefs.” The 22 “Be On the Look Out” keywords lists, distributed to staff reviewing applications between August 12, 2010 and April 19, 2013, included more explicit references to progressive groups, ACORN successors, and medical marijuana organizations than to Tea Party entities.[/quote] [quote]The extra-judicial killings of U.S. citizens, [url=http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2097899,00.html]without properly checking if they're innocent or not.[/url] [/quote] It's been common knowledge that committing treason to the US gives up any rights you may have.

5 commentaires[quote]The extra-judicial killings of U.S. citizens, without properly checking if they're innocent or not.[/quote]I absolutely do not give a shit if we kill Americans involved with al-Qaeda. Other than his overall foreign policy, I don't really find him to be all that bad.

3 commentairesOn the Tea Party thing, is it really all that unreasonable for the IRS to pay special attention to a group that openly advocates against paying taxes?
-
One small thing. The Tea Party wasn't being specifically targeted. Political groups of every shade were getting caught lying on their forms do that they could be granted the ability to have anonymous donning. The Tea Party was just the only group that had something something to gain by crying scandal. That and even if we were to pretend that they were it still couldn't be linked to him because the IRS doesn't answer to the president.
-
Yes. *Leaves thread*

This is what happens when your president smokes crack

I think his terms could have been better. The man was working with a congress that would not work with him. They gave him nothing from the start. I get a kick out of the media, " the Presidents poll numbers at an all time low" I think he is in the high 30s or low 40s depending on the poll. They should be reporting every night " congress poll numbers at the lowest ever, 9, or 12. Can they do anything, are we paying them?" I believe the congress and the senate should serve only two terms. Then your out.

5 commentairesOf course not. We haven't had a good president in decades.
