So the WH staff, etc...who are supposed to be "Democrats" and hand picked by our POTUS, and probably the Prez himself, thinks that a report on surveillance on citizens is "too liberal"

WTF did I just read? Does that mean that basically, nothing is going to be scrutinized, changed etc...because our POTUS believes differently than this report?

Heads up to all the people who say "It's okay, I trust Obama because he's on our side" (read:liberal, democrat, etc) and those who think we should not be worried at the data collection because it's "already done by corporations" or "if you aren't doing anything bad, you should have nothing to hide.."

THIS sets a horrific precedent, that ANY future leader can twist and use to his own ends. Just like we all were pretty upset at the original Patriot Act...THIS is where that led us....loss of civil liberties and then some.
