Following Bush lead, Obama moves to block challenge to wiretapping program

Wants case against NSA dismissed

President Barack Obama invoked "state secrets" to prevent a court from reviewing the legality of the National Security Agency's warantless wiretapping program, moving late Friday to have a lawsuit that challenged the program dismissed.

The move -- which holds that information surrounding the massive eavesdropping program should be kept from the public because of its sensitivity -- follows an earlier decision in March to block handover of documents relating to the Bush Administration's decision to spy on a charity. The arguments also mirror the Bush Administration's efforts to dismiss an earlier suit against AT&T.

Then you had ppl i believe it was holmes or lurker say something to the effect that hey "it could be looked at as a business expense"

seriously, you have to be one of the most ignorant people on here.

Of course their not going to praise Obama, for doing the same as Bush, as they know what they did towards Bush on a daily basis on here for the last 8 years.

But on the same token, they see what Obama is doing, and they sit in silence, not saying a word....... waiting for the next discussion about Bush.

I agree, you dont think the stimulus bill was outrageous? you dont think his budget was outrageous?

LOL again bro if you dont see the hypocrisy and side stepping that goes on in this board you are seeing what you want to see man.
