groundbreaking nor would taking it back be what i do think is important is that people within washington d.c. are so willfully blind to the lack of transparency in the obama administration that they actually have the audacity to give obama a warrant for something these failed miserably on it's just another example of washington d.c. corruption interest groups in this case public advocacy groups having each other on the back and laughing all the american people are kept in the dark and part of the reason why this nation is bankrupt with military spending is that government lies and misrepresents the truth so the people just don't see what's going on around the world so john i think that it is important to talk about i think the fact of the obama administration has failed miserably in its promise to be open and transparent with the american people is important to talk about and i think the american people deserve to know the truth about what their government is doing and not just in terms of military spending everything especially considering how many of our constitutional rights are regularly
