It doesn't take a long memory to recall that during the campaign, Barack Obama pledged to protect whistleblowers. However, something seems to have happened after he landed in the White House. Now his administration is trying to weaken protection for national security whistleblowers using legislation now in the hands Congress.

A whistleblower is an employee who blows the whistle or tells on an employer. The protection means that employers can't legally retaliate against them. For example, employers can't legally discharge employees in retaliation for exercising their rights under laws that have protection provisions.

Well you see it’s like this.

Democrats were glad to see whistle blower, blowing the whistle on Bush, but now that Obama is there they arent so anxious to have the whistle blown on them.

Just another little bit of Obama’s lies and hypocrisy, and the media loves it.

More Nazi scare tactics to make sure no one in the government gets any ideas about blowing the whistle on the Commie ‘RATS and their culture of corruption in D.C. This is always expected in third world banana republics.

The silence of the liberals shows that their outrage at Bush was never about doing the right thing. It was about getting power and using it against their enemies.

“However, something seems to have happened after he landed in the White House. “

Yeah, everyone with half a brain realized he was lying in the campaign.

If he SAID it, you can be guaranteed it was a lie. I have never seen anyone encompass that since my ex-husband.

“No lobbyists, except for this one and this one and this one...”

And I’m sure we could come up with 40 more.
