Comment on Why Obama did not stop NSA domestic surveillanceparent

Comments

Well, if he starts the custom of not delivering upon his promises to donors, I could image that the next democratic candidate would have a very hard time finding donors. So I guess the pressure from the party would be very big not to go there.

Which means it will be up to the general populace to ensure the small guy wins. And Obama as a person doesn't believe that.

Now that is the real question here. We as people do not think surveillance is bad. We clap for Batman and worry about Jack Bauer. That is the real insight here.

Jack Bauer maybe not, but I sure as hell would like to see S.H.I.E.L.D.
