Obama to speak on the NSA surveillance scandal from the Justice Department around 11 a.m. EST today.

C-SPAN's description:

The President delivers remarks at the Department of Justice presenting the outcomes of the Administration's review of U.S. signals intelligence programs. He is expected to focus on steps that increase oversight and transparency while leaving the framework of the surveillance programs in place. In addition, according to officials, the President will turn to Congress for guidance regarding the future of NSA data collection.

The President’s Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies recommended more than 40 suggested changes at the NSA in a wide-ranging report issued this past December. Administration officials say Obama is likely to embrace many of the recommendations.

Drudge is reporting that Bammy didn’t know the extent of the problem.

Just what in the world does this guy know??

[Dr.Deth]

Chris Plante is the best!

I think we have a "consessus" on that!

[Cyber Liberty]

He knows you need at least a Nine to get out of a sand trap bounded by a bunker.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Wow, he’s going to make a security forum...

What happened to blue-ribbon commissions? I sure do miss 'em.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

1) New directive to strengthen oversight. Holder will review annually.

BWHAHAHA!!!

[GOPJ]

His speeches always sound like school book reports. His Regime acts like we are all idiots.

Yep, not only do we get lied to but it's with a condescension... Adding insult to injury...

[LibLieSlayer]

This is one of the reasons that mooch is going to divorce him... he cannot tell the truth... even to her.

[subterfuge]

Well done. Your service is appreciated. I just can’t listen to him for more than a minute or two.

[liberalh8ter]

I was listening to Bammy as I was driving and I think I bent my steering wheel. Essentially, he's asserting that we should trust the people who work for the NSA because they have kids with Facebook pages and besides, it's not like Obama or anyone associated with him would EVER use an alphabet agency against their political opponents. Oh and ....... It's for our safety........

[Prov1322]

Did someone say ShamWow...

Apparently neither did anyone else, except maybe the ones actually doing it, like Snowdon

The mooch knows the truth about her partner in crime. They went into this together..it was a business deal between two socialists/communists/marxists for power, control and glory. So, if the mooch is tired of being played for a fool in front of the public when the bozo feels likes making her twist in the wind, that's too damn bad. Her pain is our gain.

[LibLieSlayer]

Same with the clintons.

[itssme]

So true.

Barack Obama got out of the shower and was drying off when he looked in the mirror and noticed that he was white from the neck to the top of his head.

In a sheer panic and fearing he was turning white all over,
he called his doctor and told him what had happened.

The doctor advised him to come to his office immediately.

After an examination, the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid, gave it to Barack, and told him to drink it all.

Barack drank the concoction and said,
“That tasted like bullshit!”

“It was.” the doctor replied, “You were a quart low.”
