Enough with the finger pointing guys. The truth is life under the Obama administration has been almost identical to life under the Bush administration with the slight difference that we actually have a better idea of what's going on(thanks to people like Manning and Snowden).
I find it actually slightly amusing that Liberals who were up in arms about drone strikes during the Bush presidency are now saying things like "Obama is doing it to protect our freedoms".
On the flip side when Republicans that are screaming for Obama's head about these drone strikes and the NDAA are confronted about Bush doing similar things during his presidency, they lower their head and mumble something about Bush using fewer drone strikes than Obama.
I think that things in this country are not going to get any better until we all stop pointing fingers at the other parties. There are good people in the Republican party(i.e. Rand Paul) and bad people in the Republican party(i.e. John McCain). There are also good people in the Democratic party(i.e. Rep Timothy J. Penny) and bad people in the Democratic party (i.e. President Obama). Party doesn't make the man, policy does. Until people start getting that concept, things in this country are not going to get any better.
Now I realize that calling both parties out on their crap is not going to make me a very popular person, I am expecting the rage comments to begin brewing almost as soon as I post this...but it is something that needs to be said.
