As president, Obama would update the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to provide greater oversight and accountability to the congressional intelligence committees to prevent future threats to the rule of law.

Naturally, that went the way of all Obama promises:

I don’t judge them.

I just pressure wash the homo off of’em.

As to gunner I don’t think a standard car wash can get the Cletus funk off him.

O sleep, O gentle sleep,
nature’s soft nurse,
how have I frightened thee,
that thou no more wilt weigh my eye-lids down
and steep my senses in forgetfulness?
