In reply to the discussion: Fed Court: Just changed interpretation of Espionage Act to cover leaks that are NOT Harmful To USA [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)55. Someone had a post about how much "They Fear Us."
What else could explain this?
Did a gullible Obama get entrapped in this and now he's got to cover himself? What about "Center for American Progress," leading Liberal Dem Publications, Joe Biden and the Kennedy's endorsements of him. How could he have become entrapped in the War Machine, MIC, Wall Street Give Aways and other bad moves along with appointments that were continuation of Bush/Cheney policies when they all were Democrats who we knew had fought against Repug policies urging us to vote for him and even for the second term when some of us were very skeptical. How did our Democratic Institutions allow the MIC to get bigger so that now everyone of them has to cover their butts?
How could this have happened?
