“When the country elected Barack Obama, they thought they had kicked the coup plotters out of the White House and out of power. Yet the neocon legacy stayed intact: the secret Panopticon they built was inherited and expanded by Obama & Co. Indeed, Obama’s Justice Department has gone far beyond the Bush administration in their fierce prosecution of whistle-blowers and their brazen intimidation of the media. If anything like that had happened during the Bush years, Nancy Pelosi would’ve been at the head of a massive San Francisco demonstration where speaker after speaker would’ve denounced the ‘fascist’ Bush ‘regime.’ Today Pelosi is leading the charge against reining in the NSA.”
