In 17 months in office, President Obama has already outdone every previous president in pursuing leak prosecutions. His administration has taken actions that might have provoked sharp political criticism for his predecessor, George W. Bush, who was often in public fights with the press.It is only through leaks that we tend to learn of the incompetence and fuckery of the government. When stories surface that show how various government agencies are screwing the pooch, the only correct course of action is to fix the fuckups, not punish those who made the fuckups public.
Prosecuting, nay, persecuting whistleblowers is an anti-freedom, anti-transparency move. It is what I expected of Chimpy. I expect better from Barry.

All the better to hide what is really going on.
At this point, it is Chimpy 3.0.
I keep wondering when people are going to realize just how much a PHONY Barack Obama has been all along. Go back to "A constitutional scholar," supporting the further gutting of the 4th amendment through the FISA overhaul.
