    President Obama: Who fed you the Kool Aid or are you naive? Independents and a handful of Tea Partiers will fight you tooth and Nail on this disastrous secret trade deal that threatens our sovernighty.

    You have protected the bankers and played the game.

    You gave Cheney and Bush Immunity from prosecution

    There will be no great president until we get one who helps us roll back the authoritarian Surveillance on American Citizens. You may have a signing clause but you should have eliminated the Bush Admins violations of our civil rights and privacy.

    Tired of debunking the GOP lies for a man who I do not like.

    feinstein stuff it and stop it

    Boxer: Thank You for your service, our disagreements are small compared to your hard work. When you read the so called Birth control bill on the floor exposing it included every medical test for man or woman you did a great service. Reps hear the word birth control and vote against their own freedom. You stopped that disastrous Blunt/Rubio Bill by the exposure of what it really was. Employer control over all their employees medical decisions.

    La Malfa, You divided your family Business to collect more subsidies on Japanese Rice exported. Your work on the farm bill is a disgrace and hypocrisy.

    You have chosen to be an Washington Insider shame on you. You were against the TPP did ya fall in line on that too?

    Brown ya did better this time

    The rest of you stuff it!

    LOL That was fun!

    I have friends on this list so I’ll try to be polite and limit my criticism. I will say that it’s almost pointless that we have two Republican legislators in Northern CA as part of the CA Legislature and they can do nothing. Aside from the occasional opposition vote, they’ve become useless.
    We need to draft a movement to either disband the State Senate, or to base Senate districts on geography. We already have the Assembly to represent us by population, so the Senate is pretty much useless. It would be an easier hurdle to climb than the State of Jefferson.

    Were Bush and Cheney on the list? No. Let it go……

    Our representatives fail us whether by design, toothlessness, or being outnumbered and alone. Nothing will change until the people wise up.

    Dewey please share with us the evidence that the Bush administration abused the national security surveillance laws or used them for anything besides keeping Americans safe. You make accusations with nothing of substance to back your claim. Real documents please, not opinion from Media matters.

    FOX News:

    The author of the Patriot Act said Thursday that a secret program under which the Obama administration was collecting phone records from millions of Americans is “excessive” and beyond the scope of the law.

    Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., who wrote the 2001 law, was among a host of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who raised alarm over the practice.

    The Guardian newspaper first reported the National Security Agency had been collecting records under a court order from millions of Verizon customers in the U.S. Defenders of the program tried to ease the furor by assuring the public this is “nothing new” — and in fact has been going on for seven years. But the acknowledgement that the program is long running only fueled the outrage from civil liberties groups and lawmakers who described it as a blatant overreach.

    “This is a big deal, a really big deal,” Sensenbrenner told Fox News, adding that such a broad seizure was “never the intent” of the law. He floated the possibility of amending the Patriot Act before its 2015 expiration to stop this.

    In a separate statement, he called the program “excessive and un-American.”

    The Republican lawmaker also fired off a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder — who would not comment on the program when asked about it Thursday — explaining why he thinks the records collection goes astray of the law. He noted that the key section of the law that allows the government to obtain business records requires the information to be relevant to an authorized investigation.

    You can read the letter to Holder here.

    Washington Post:

    The Obama administration secretly won permission from a surveillance court in 2011 to reverse restrictions on the National Security Agency’s use of intercepted phone calls and e-mails, permitting the agency to search deliberately for Americans’ communications in its massive databases, according to interviews with government officials and recently declassified material.

    In addition, the court extended the length of time that the NSA is allowed to retain intercepted U.S. communications from five years to six years — and more under special circumstances, according to the documents, which include a recently released 2011 opinion by U.S. District Judge John D. Bates, then chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

    Radical Muslims have been waging war on the US for decades; 911 was the last straw. Defending oneself (or ones country) is not a “racket.”

    George Bush did keep America safe.

    The lefty rag NY Times article was a “cover Clintons butt” article since it is well known now that he had opportunities to get bin Laden and didn’t authorize the kill:

    The day before the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, former President Bill Clinton told a group of businessmen in Australia that he “could have killed” the man behind those attacks, Osama bin Laden, in 1998, but he decided against launching a strike out of concern for civilian casualties. …

    …”I’m just saying, you know, if I were Osama bin Laden – he’s a very smart guy, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about him – and I nearly got him once,” said Clinton, who’d departed the White House earlier that year. “I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him. And so I didn’t do it.”

    The 9/11 Commission Report, released in the aftermath of the attacks, documented the proposed December 1998 strike on Kandahar, noting that the Joint Chiefs of Staff advised the president against launching cruise missiles at bin Laden and his associates. Officials were concerned about residual damage, including the roughly 200 to 300 civilians who could have been killed by such a strike.

    Roughly five months before that strike was aborted, though, the U.S. did launch airstrikes at terrorist bases in Afghanistan and a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan that officials alleged was helping al Qaeda build chemical weapons. Those attacks were justified as retaliation for the bombings at U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya earlier that month.

    Forbes:

    In his stunning 2003 book Dereliction of Duty, Air Force Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson, a presidential aide and carrier of the “nuclear football,” describes President Clinton’s gross irresponsibility toward national security. Patterson tells how, in the fall of 1998, the watch officer in the White House Situation Room notified the president’s national security adviser, Sandy Berger, that they had located bin Laden and had “a two-hour window to strike.”

    Here is Patterson’s chilling account:

    Berger ambled down the stairwell and entered the Sit[uation] Room. He picked up the phone at one of the busy controller consoles and called the president. Amazingly, President Clinton was not available. Berger tried again and again. Bin Laden was within striking distance. The window of opportunity was closing fast. The plan of attack was set and the Tomahawk [missile] crews were ready. For about an hour Berger couldn’t get the commander in chief on the line. Though the president was always accompanied by military aides and the Secret Service, he was somehow unavailable. Berger stalked the Sit Room, anxious and impatient.

    Patterson continues:

    Finally, the president accepted Berger’s call. There was discussion, there were pauses – and no decision. The president wanted to talk with his secretaries of Defense and State. He wanted to study the issue further. Berger was forced to wait. The clock was ticking. The president eventually called back. He was still indecisive. He wanted more discussion. Berger alternated between phone calls and watching the clock.

    The dithering continued until it was too late–and bin Laden lived to fight another day. And to plot the Sept. 11 attacks.

    That was not an isolated incident. On Sept. 13, 1996, while on the golf course with his lawyer friend Vernon Jordan, President Clinton had refused to take repeated urgent phone calls from Berger, who needed the president’s approval for air strikes on Iraq. Patterson wrote: “Pilots were in the cockpits, waiting to launch, targets were identified, everything was in place, all [Berger] needed was the go-ahead.”

    He never got it. The protective cover of night lifted, and the mission was aborted.

    There were other examples of gross and inexcusable incompetence. President Clinton twice managed to lose the nuclear codes that were necessary to activate the nation’s nuclear arsenal.

    Sounds just like his wife. (Did you catch the highlighted portion? Bill Clinton authorizing air strikes in Iraq…to get bin laden? Who knew)

    Dewey there may be a lot of hidden things in government, some legitimate and others nefarious, but your understanding of the Bush years leaves a lot to be desired…I ask again did you see Michael Moore’s, Farenheight 911?

    This president has sucked up to Iran, a known sponsor of terrorism and, we discover today that papers obtained in the raid on bin Ladens compound show bin Laden was in cahoots with Iranians:

    In October 2000, al-Qaeda operative Ali Mohamed pled guilty to terrorism charges before a New York judge. Mohamed had long served in the Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ), an organization headed by Ayman al-Zawahiri that would formally merge with bin Laden’s enterprise. Mohamed admitted that in late 1993 he “was asked by bin Laden to conduct surveillance” on various Western targets, including the American Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, which was bombed five years later.

    Mohamed also admitted that he was there when the two master terrorists—Mugniyah and bin Laden—first met.

    “I was aware of certain contacts between al-Qaeda and [Egyptian Islamic] Jihad organization, on one side, and Iran and Hezbollah on the other side,” Mohamed told the court. “I arranged security for a meeting in the Sudan between Mughniyah, Hezbollah’s chief, and bin Laden.” Mohamed went on to explain that “Hezbollah provided explosives training for al-Qaeda” and the EIJ, while Iran supplied them with weapons.

    There have been more American lives lost and displaced and more money has been spent in the last seven years under the ridiculous policies of the current administration and we have absolutely nothing positive that’s come of it! In fact the world sits on the precipice of nuclear war AND economic collapse…wonder which will come first!
