So, what about these damn satellites?

I mean, hell---everyone is ALL upset about the NSA recording millions and millions of phone numbers and when and how often they call other phone numbers, but what about those satellites?

They are up there, you know, and they are watching ALL of us. True, they can't really determine much about what we're doing. They'd have to focus on a particular area and then send in a plane or on-the-ground investigator if something seemed to warrant it, but---hey, we're all in that big picture

Isn't that an invasion of our privacy according to what seem to be current standards?

Shouldn't someone be calling for someone to be impeached? And, shouldn't all the sheep be bleating "Hell, yeah, this is terrible! We miss Bush!"

I am not saying I don't have concerns about the "meta data gathering". I just think a lot of anti-Obama anti-Democrat sentiment is being ginned up about something most thinking people have been aware of since 2006.

And I am not ok if it's done by Truman (who started a lot of this shit) little boots, or a future president.

You can't just bust out and jump to technology around satellites
