Ali, you're hanging onto distinctions that make no difference in the context of how outraged you used to be when Bush did it. Distinction? The speaker of the house, a republican who has been anything but supportive of Obama, comes out and says that the program is well supervised and helps stop terror and you call that a "distinction"? Bush was caught doing warrantless wire tapping and going around FISA, which was in place at the time...that meant he was breaking the law in place at the time. That's not a distinction when we are talking about programs that lend themselves to potential abuse. At least Obama is following the law in place...you can argue with the invasiveness of that law, but that's a different topic of conversation. These are tangible distinctions...someone is watching...someone who normally would leap at the chance to embarrass the president. Al
