Obama and the NSA - Review

The New York Times: Has the following reaction to the Obama speech on the NSA, " Mr. Obama’s speech on Friday was as much about the larger question of faith. Rather than throw out the programs at issue, he hoped to convince the public that they are being run appropriately. ".

Lets Get Real:

When President Obama was Candidate Obama he was rebuking the Bush 43 Administration for its use of national security tools to protect the US, now that he has been in THE Oval Office for five years he understands he needs the security information.   The speech on the whole was a PR speech for the left, the NSA will keep doing what its doing, the Oval will just say that its different.   President Obama is a Chicago Pol, he understand the power of the NSA and the CIA, he does not want them on his back for the rest of his term or after he leaves in 2017, that is smart, the Oval understands if something does go wrong and it is found that any real reforms allowed had allowed another 9/11 then Obama would be toast by historians.   Thus this PR show, better PR, the Democratic base will be kind of happy if not having happy hour.   Who would have thought that Obama would be the PR man for Bush 43. 

Obama and the NSA - Review

BBC News: Has the following review of the President Obama's speech on the NSA, the article notes the following, " What he's announced shouldn't upset the intelligence community - and is unlikely to greatly reassure civil liberties groups - but both sides will be left with more questions than answers. ".

Lets Get Real:

In other words a stonewalling speech, lot of waffle that will make no one unhappy, but more important will not make the NSA that unhappy, you do not want the NSA as a enemy at any time.   Those on the left will think that Obama is Bush 43 with charisma, one can say that the Bush 43 Era policies on the whole has been extended by the Obama Oval.   There will always be spies, and spy agencies, and they will spy, just now they have the ability to spy on everyone, and they will, no President is above the intelligence networks, the agencies know to much and can sink a Presidency, just ask the late Richard Nixon about the FBI and Watergate.

The Mid Terms are only 10 and half months away, those Democrats in Congress who support the Obama Presidency and ObamaCare and are from States or Districts that went for Romney in 2012 will start to look at the latest polls and wonder how long they can support the Oval.  If your a smart Democrat and under threat you would start to make yourself a pain the backside for the Oval, in fact the Oval should hate your guts, the Obama political career is Over in a sense, those in Congress want to get re-elected, thus time to put hard politics ahead of political loyalty, the Oval if in the place of the Congress would have done the same thing, time for real politic, those in Seats under threat should start to support Republican plans and run point for deep investigations of the Obama Presidency.   Time to decide Democrats.
