Guardian: Reports on remarks by President Obama defending his Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the article notes the following, " Obama admits intelligence chief fault over false Senate testimony..President continues to defend James Clapper in the face of calls for his resignation after 'untruthful' statement about bulk collection ".
Lets Get Real:
On this issue the DNI was right to lie to Congress and the Oval is right in defending him, on the whole the Obama Administration has a fickle understanding of telling the truth but the data collection was rightly protected by the DNI, Obama understands that he needs the NSA to keep him informed of any THREAT to the US, if he curtails the NSA and something happens, the people wont blame themselves, the liberal elite press will turn on Obama and ask why he did not defend the US. On the issue of intelligence the US has to bug everyone so it knows what it does not need to know, thus the millions of texts from around of the World that is picked up by the NSA. The President has to stand up to the Congress on this issue, he can not fold, he can not give way, he has to protect the US, thus hat off to the Oval.
