When Bush did it, it WAS illegal, was ruled so by the courts, so congress made it legal. Got it? Obama is doing it LEGALLY!

What's the point of protesting? Americans decided long ago they prefer security to their privacy. That was determined under Bush. The liberals and the media had an absolute cow when Bush was doing it, despite polls showing a slim majority supporting it. Of course, I don't remember the media ever publishing the results of said polls. Uh.........they did publish the polls back then.....and Americans were in favor. That's why I gave up fighting it. Now that Obama has expanded what Bush did, the Washington Post deemed it necessary to publish the result of the latest poll in support of the practice. I am sure the WA Post did it back then too just as gallup did: gallup.com What's with the winger paranoia?
