Sheldon Richman: The Surveillance State Lives

“President Obama has some nerve. He opened his speech on NSA spying by likening his surveillance regime to Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty. How insulting! They were helping people resist government tyranny, and the British spied on them to put down the coming rebellion.  To the extent Obama has become more favorable to surveillance since the Bush years it’s apparently because, as a former aide told the New York Times, ‘he trusts himself to use these powers more than he did the Bush administration.’  In light of this flagrant disregard for the truth and willingness to bamboozle the people, why should anyone take Obama’s ‘reforms’ seriously?”
