It seems genuine to me, but it's a hypocritical, communal kind of outrage. He's angry about PRISM because that's what people in the blogosphere are angry about.
Originally posted by empovsunNot sure what universe you are from. There are plenty of people who voted for Obama, especially on the left, who have been blasting Obama from day one for not implementing policies, at all or fast enough or extensive enough. They voted for him in 2012 as the lesser of two evils, with the Republican Romney being an incredibly big evil.
if obama did discontinue the surveillance then there wouldn't be so much contempt for the obamabots
unfortunately, they have pretty much kept their heads in the sand
With regard to the NSA surveillance in particular, the President continued it because commander-in-chief he viewed such as best for America. And Republicans such as Lindsey Graham, Cheney, Bohener, and others consistently continue to support the surveillance.
While some lukewarm apology may exist for some Obama supporters, the true and blatant hypocrisy comes from people like Sasquatch and Faux News.
Check out this video of Sean Hannity supporting the NSA surveillance under Bush and lambasting Democrats as a threat to national security for wanting to discontinue the surveillance, and then completely changing his tune when Obama is President. A total hack just like Sasquatch.
See the video for yourself and make your own judgment.
