Comment on Barack Obama 'approved tapping Angela Merkel's phone 3 years ago'

Comments

The only good thing about the mess that is Obama's presidency is that people might finally learn that it generally doesn't matter who you elect, most presidents and politicians will act similarly. Politicians tell the country what they think >50% of them want to hear, then do whatever they want in office. While the things Obama and his administration (and Bush's!) have been doing are awful, I've enjoyed watching the public outcry. Hopefully it lasts.

whatever they want in office

are you sure it's what they want?
