RE:”Does President Barack Obama think we’re stupid?
That’s the only conclusion possible after watching Friday’s bravura performance in which the president announced a set of proposals meant to bring more transparency to the National Security Agency — and claimed he would have done it anyway, even if Edward Snowden had never decided to leak thousands of highly sensitive documents to The Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald.
But even as he grudgingly admitted that the timing, at least, of his suggestions was a consequence of Snowden’s actions, the president declared, “I don’t think Mr. Snowden was a patriot.” When you look at what has changed over the past two months, though, it’s hard not to wonder, “What could be more patriotic than what Snowden did?”

Politico dissing Obama? Tell me it aint so.

Yes, Obama was going to do this ANYWAY even if there was no Snowden.
And you can keep your doctor and health insurance policy too. And it cuts the deficit.

Obama was going to (bring transparency to NSA) even if there
was no Snowden. And you can keep your own doctor and health
insurance policy too. And it cuts the deficit.

Watta multi-tasker----imagine, he's doing all that while vacaying and golfing in secluded Martha's Vineyard.

And besides, his sinking numbers and looming 2014 midterms n-e-v-e-r once entered his mind.

Obama doesn’t think we’re stupid. He thinks “Holder’s People” are stupid. They are, and that is enough. You don’t have to fool all of the people all of the time to get your way in politics.
