Good, let's get the year right, but lets not overlook the political party of Dianne Feinstein - it's a bipartisan effort, always has been, but ultimately the buck stops with the one that is keeping these things in place, extending them, not rolling them back, not speaking out against them, but calling people traitors for speaking or acting against them. I'm referring of course to the current president, George W. Obama.
Uh, phlypp, so Kerry and Holder are Republicans? Bush called Snowden a traitor, and called on European banana republics to divert Morales' plane, and threatened sanctions (and possibly invasion) against any country that would give him sanctuary?
Anhd now its hate to accurately criticize Obama for things he did?
I disagree that Hoover was responsible for the Great Depression. Hoover inherited a festering problem created by the fiscal policies of the Coolidge administration. Hoover, widely regarded as the most capable man in the country, failed to correct them for many of the same reasons Obama failed to correct the problems he inherited. I found this article very persuasive and prescient in that Obama is another Hoover, but not in the way everybody thinks; written just 3 months after Obama took office, he maps the next few years with depressing accuracy: http://harpers.org/archive/2009/07/barack-hoover-obama/.
However, the author didn't predict that Obama would turn into Nixon. As little expectation I had from Obama, I thought he would be another Carter, but it's clear that Nixon is the antecedent.
