President Obama seems to think no American citizen should be upset that their government is spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to spy on their own. "For our own protection", no less. He goes on to say that the NSA only look at caller origination and the duration of the calls to route out terrorists. I'd like for someone to explain to me how looking only at those two things could possibly tell you who are terrorists. I seem to remember voting for a man who claimed he was all about constitutional rights, and making sure that those rights would be protected when he was installed in office...seems like Mr. Obama has forgotten those promises.

Playing Chicken With The Economy...
LINK to the story
That's certainly what it seems is happening right now, President Obama and the GOP are playing chicken with the economy, seeing which one of them is willing to flinch first and jump away from the fiscal cliff! Both parties, (i.e. Democrats & Republicans), need to be seriously discussing what to do about the looming fiscal cliff, or they're going to be arguing with each other as we all go cascading over it to wind up in a messy pile at the bottom.
The problem is, I tend to agree with the President that it's the GOP that needs to buckle since the Republicans have fared so badly in the last election and they're only trying to protect their wealthy backers from paying more in taxes. You know, those same wealthy backers like the owners of Hostess who just sacked 19,000 U.S. employees because they didn't want to give them better benefits and wage increases, although they saw nothing wrong with giving themselves huge bonuses. The GOP and "big business", who, let's face it, are the GOP, need to remember that the backbone of this country are the lower and middle classes, and if you don't have a firm, healthy backbone, you don't have anything!
