The President in Santa Monica; He Listens But Does Not Hear

The President is coming to Santa Monica for a fundraiser (again!), I expect traffic will be crazy on the Westside all the way to Sepulveda and the 405 (Actually, when are they not busy?!?)

Here there be Traffic

This comes on the heels that the NSA was spying on Americans through phones and the 'Net.  

Add this atop the IRS and the Senator McConnell bugging and I fear we have fallen into East Germany.

I expect no Democrats will protest this breach into civil liberties (It was a tool to attack President Bush, not an actual principle to stand on) at the fundraiser or in Santa Monica or on KPFK.

To quote Orwell (again), “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
[Note: I am not calling the President or anyone an Animal (even though we are all mammals), but I am noting that Democrats put aside their beliefs as long as a D is in front of their name]

But, my question is not for this Administration or the Democrats (they do what they do because of the Tarkin Doctrine -- hating Republicans means more then Governing), but for the staffers of the PRISM program:

Who gave the order?  

Was there any Internal Debate from within the Intelligence Community?

Does the Intelligence Community trust this Administration? Why or why not? 

Thanks for all your help.

Wish me luck as I head to the Westside today because a President who listens to our conversations, chooses not hear his constituents voices.

My question: What worries you more? The Administration or the Democrats complacency after their actions from 2003 - 2008?
