Why is there such outrage over the NSA datamining? Oh, wait, president OBAMA is still in office, so they need to make a big deal out of nothing.
On the FOX show THE FIVE, the dummies on that show blah blah blah about the NSA and attack president Obama throwing out the whole "the president is abusing his power"... EVEN DANA PERINO jumps into the fray blabbering on about the NSA program and the violation of privacy.
But, wait, DANA PERINO is an expert on this subject?
Ah yes.. Lets see what she had to say in 2006 on the subject.
USATODAY.com - NSA has massive database of Americans' phone calls
DANA PERINO QUOTE:
"The White House would not discuss the domestic call-tracking program. "There is no domestic surveillance without court approval," said Dana Perino, deputy press secretary, referring to actual eavesdropping.She added that all national intelligence activities undertaken by the federal government "are lawful, necessary and required for the pursuit of al-Qaeda and affiliated terrorists." All government-sponsored intelligence activities "are carefully reviewed and monitored," Perino said. She also noted that "all appropriate members of Congress have been briefed on the intelligence efforts of the United States."
Gee, how can she rip on the president today, when she refused to talk about the program with any details back in 2006 when the program started?
ODD how that works.
Peace
