Julian Assange: Is President Obama wearing pants? By: Tal Kopan March 7, 2014 05:40 PM EST
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange Friday questioned whether President Barack Obama is in control of the nation’s intelligence operation, saying based on the response to the leaks from Edward Snowden, it doesn’t look that way.
“There is a real question about who is wearing the pants,” Assange said on MSNBC’s “Now With Alex Wagner” when asked about reforms to the National Security Agency announced by Obama in response to revelations brought forward by Snowden.
Speaking via satellite presumably from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where he has been staying in asylum from an extradition order for more than year, Assange said the government has not addressed the concerns raised by Snowden.
“It has been six months now since the Edward Snowden revelations started to occur,” Assange said. “In that time, have we seen the commencement of a criminal investigation against [Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper for lying to Congress, or anyone in the National Security Agency for violating the law, the U.S. Constitution?

No argument from me.
The NIGHTSTALKER is in charge.
SHE wrote our guys off at Bengazi.
Our REAL Prez was not elected and few know anything about her.
The special Love pajamas have a drop-seat rear.
IOW, none of what has happened has been Obama’s fault. It’s almost as if the leakers (traitors) and Obama are on the same side...
Meme-building ping.
Whatever else Assange might be he’s a raging hetero.
Pretty sorry state of affairs when a Julian Assange has the moral/ethical/manliness high grounds to be able to mock “the most powerful man on the planet”.
I dunno. Do mom jeans qualify as pants, in the strict manly sense of the word?
Silly Assange! Of course not - we live in a tyranny. Tyrannies don't prosecute crimes by their enforcers or bureaucrats.
OK. In a fistfight between Assange and MomJeans, who would win.
I think we all know the answer to that...
MOM JEANS. Not pants.
Tyrannies don't arrest their governmental criminals*.
*See Stalin's Russia, Hitler's Germany, Mao's China, etc., etc.
Will be receiving a call from the IRS in 3...2...1....
LMAO!!
