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.
