Making You "Comfortable" with Spying Is Obama's Big NSA Fix
Last edited Sat Aug 10, 2013, 10:31 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Barack Obama held a press conference on Friday afternoon, supposedly to announce reforms of the NSA's far-flung surveillance programs. In reality, the White House briefing was the start of a marketing campaign for the spy programs that have turned so controversial in recent months. And the President's message really boiled down to this: It's more important to persuade people surveillance is useful and legal than to make structural changes to the programs.
"The question is, how do I make the American people more comfortable?" Obama said.
Not that Obama's unwilling to make any changes to America's surveillance driftnets -- and he detailed a few of them -- but his overriding concern was that people didn't believe him when he said there was nothing to fear.
In an awkward analogy, the President said that if he'd told his wife Michelle that he had washed the dishes after dinner, she might not believe him. So he might have to take her into the kitchen and show her the evidence.

This government can't this through it's thick skull. We don't like the programs. We don't want to get comfortable with it. We will not learn to enjoy it. It's not us, it's you. So now stop what you're doing. The deciders are too insulated from popular democracy.

And that's the best comeback to them because it's the truth. The gov't pays for your healthcare, they're going to have access to your medical records and private doctor conversations. I have no doubt that all Medicare patients have their info on file in some gov't office. Hey, they're paying, they get to have access to what they pay for. Liberals are too stupid to realize this or, when you point it out, they refuse to believe it's even possible.

Hey! The government isn't going to pay for anything. It never has.
It's the taxpayers that shell out the dollars to the government so the government gets its "commission" before the provider gets paid. That's the way it works!

We tried to warn you DUchebags about King Barky the Incompetent but all you could see was skittle shitting Unicorns.
The only silver lining is that Barky's reign will be far harder on you DUmb SOBs than us.

"The question is, how do I make the American people more comfortable?" Obama said.
When the "Adult supervision" is provided by a secret rubberstamp court whose actions and orders are all classified, and anyone affected by them will be prosecuted for discussing them in a public forum, only an idiot would trust your lying, conniving ass.
ETA - Actually, judging by the reaction on places like DU and Kos, not even all the idiots are on board.

Well, well, well.....
....not comfortable with imposed government?
B-b-but, it's not the same.
...not comfortable with governmental theft?
B-b-but, it's not the same.
....not comfortable with Marxist tyranny?
B-b-but, it's not the same.
Nothing is ever new, under the sun, helmet children. You idiots voted for this crap. Start sucking on the tailpipe, dickheads.

Over :banghead: and over :banghead: and over again :banghead: .....
The only silver lining is that Barky's reign will be far harder on you DUmb SOBs than us.
And yet, when the inevitable happens, they will look around like stupifyed children who can't find their woobies and demand more of the same.

6. I found it on Google, also a YouTube and it's reportedly on Facebook, too.
Though I don't doubt that it originated with Alex Jones!
Most of them are convinced it is all an Alex Jones conspiracy.

15. Actually if DUers can check their own bills that would be nice.
One wants to have people actually check it out, just to be sure....you know check the facts...

18. Right--because on a Saturday afternoon, after you post some vague Internet speculation
sourced from Infowars, you want DUers to check their bills?
And let me guess--you want them to post here, what they find?
I would hope that any DUer reading this would have better things to do....after all, there's always actual masturbation as opposed to this mental masturbation.
But this guy would rather have them go mastubate than get any actual facts.

27. I'll never understand how easily members of
a Democratic community can be so easily duped by right wing shills...
Of course, I also wonder how many of said members are actually right wing shills...
Just saying....

Resign, and take "Bubblehead" Biden with you.
