“Mr. Obama considers government’s power to be illimitable, and individual freedom to be a revocable gift conferred by those who presume to rule the rest of us. This was made abundantly – and redundantly – clear in a recent interview Obama gave to the repellently sycophantic PBS host Charlie Rose regarding the totalitarian NSA surveillance program. Speaking about what he called ‘tradeoffs’ between freedom and security, Obama said: ‘I don’t think anybody says we’re no longer free because we have checkpoints at airports.’ There are dozens of imaginable variations on the official lie Obama decanted on the Charlie Rose program.”
