I understand your sentiment, I really do. But, I think this image is more appropriate:
I think this whole NSA thing is just the tip of the iceberg. What lurks beneath is a government that is profoundly broken and corrupt. It is easy enough to lay blame at the feet of Obama because “change” and “yes we can” but the power of the military and the spook bureaus is something that has been snowballing since 1947 to the point of being an irresistible force. It is a deeply ingrained mindset based on fear and the defense of freedom that has corrupted many, if not all presidents since the cold war began.
Can we give Obama some extra grief for it? Sure, why not? But I don’t see anything changing no matter who gets elected next.
Side note: That image is not from any American magazine and the main coverage of this whole story is not from any American newspaper. The so-called Fourth Estate has really dropped the ball, they are the real traitors. (ok, mb a little harsh but they are not doing their jobs)
