No, more of the same. I share your sentiment on this and I think the only thing worse than President Obama's lies and abuse of power in these areas is the unwillingness of some people to admit its even happening. People cant afford to just blindly support anything because its "their side" doing it. At no time in human history has a population ever benefited from their government having absolute power over them. Scary stuff.
