His morality is to be judged by his professed aims, not his means of achieving them.

Presidential ethics are now situational. Obama is calling for a shield law to protect reporters from the sort of harassment that his attorney general, Eric Holder, and the FBI practiced against Fox News and the Associated Press. Through such rhetoric, he remains a staunch champion of the First Amendment

When you have a media whose job it is to inform the people of this in the tank for the administration, you can get away with being a lying POS.

That’s one of the benefits of being a liberal - hypocrisy is actually expected.

In the general sense - “Rules for thee, not for me”.

There is literally nothing we can do. Politicians should swing for allowing our nation to get to this point. I am sick and completely disgusted with Washington DC and America more generally for electing this reprobate Marxist butthumping atrocious-looking-wife-having usurper moron Barack Soetoro

I mean this with every fiber of my being and pray the NSA reading this agrees: may God damn you to the perpetual lake of fire Obama. You are the most repugnant human being to hold office in the western world.

the comments I am reading at CBS online, at the Washington Post, and other liberal outlets are generally furious rage at Obama and all the scandals.

A few lame attempts by liberals to defend him but not many.

Even Reuters, comments on Obama milder but still negative.

His morality is to be judged by his professed aims, not his means of achieving them.

Said another way, the ends justify the means.

A key tenet of communism.

I saw the Wall Street Urinal headliner today, “Leaker admits to theft of US data,” or some such rot. It would have been “BUSH ADMINISTRATION CAUGHT SPYING ON MILLIONS!!”
