I railed against this in my scribbles aimed at the previous administration, but I don’t care which president is doing it. The Obama administration insists on defending warrantless wiretaps even though they are an illegal, extra-Constitutional activity. The Obama White House is also continuing in the Bush tradition of citing risk to state secrets as a reason to foot-drag on allowing war prisoners the rit of habeus corpus. Gitmo is supposed to close but we have an equally strange legal black hole operating in Bagram, Iraq. These prisoners are all bad guys, the refrain goes. How is anyone supposed to know, if no charges are filed? Trust? The Government? Are you nuts?

For 6 years and especially during the campaign Barry and the demorats screamed at the Patriot Act and Wireless taps, and other measures to keep us safe.
Now Barry’s Un-justice department, headed by the racist Holder, has gone one step beyond. In defending the practice that cell phone and communication companies that cooperate with the government are protected with a general right in the Bill.
WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT BARRY IS SO MUCH A SUPPORTER OF THE PATRIOT ACT?
As I and others have stated Barry is trying to have it both ways CHANGE and keeping it the same when Power for him is involved
Never forget the Alien and sedition acts.The country that values its own existence, needs to veer over the line from time to time, and if the various jihad loonies, anarchist one-worlders and other malicious groups were to have a sitting duck US legal target to aim at, we’d all be in the same fix that the ordinary citizen in Holland or Denmark finds him/herself in right now.
I appreciate that a journalist/cartoonist needs to always mistrust & oppose, but that’s just the tunnel vision that comes with your work.
I want a US president with lots of options, lots of ammo, and lots of strategies open to him.
So do all the other sane Americans.
What the rest of the world wants, is their business.
What’s really amusing is watching how the libs are becoming more crestfallen by the day that The One and his administration of “change” are doing the same things that they railed against in the Bush administration.
Why liberals think that the Democrat party will better protect their individual rights and liberties – when everything they stand for centers on bigger and more powerful government – defies rational explanation. But then, libs tend to be highly irrational and vote with their feelings instead of their brains.
As Barry’s pastor has said, “The chickens are coming home to roost.”
Deb –
Like many whiny “libs” you sound like a real douche.
What does a douche sound like Hugh? Is there some sort of
swishing or gushing sound?
“I railed against this in my scribbles aimed at the previous administration, but I don’t care which president is doing it.”
you feel you have to justify drawing a negative cartoon about the guy?
In matt’s defense. he’s been pretty even handed on all the politicians. its the presidence turn in the barrel.
I like obama but there are things i wish he would do better but he hasnt been in office that long. and outside government and corp america are more to blame than he.
presidence=President’s
man how my mind works on only 1 cup of coffee.
