Cracks me up this is presented like "Obama, come on, we know you're a good guy. Pleassssse". Give me a break... Barack loves extrajudicial powers. This is the problem with large, powerful governments. Sooner or later, the other guys will have the power. If you voted for Obama (ESPECIALLY twice) and you're worried about Trump having power over the NSA, I am laughing at you.

I don't think Obama will do anything, because I agree with you that he likes having this surveillance and his drone powers. The problem is that Trump might be less responsible with the powers given to him.

  Or more responsible. We don't know anything yet.

    Apparently, trump and his entourage are keeping an enemies list.

      Are you worried about him ordering extrajudicial assassinations? Cause Obama has done that.

  In my opinion the person who let this situation happen is less responsible from the two. It's ironic to fear monger Trump who is not even in the office when the last, approved guy, created this mess and possibility in the first place.

  Nowhere did your parent claim Obama created the surveillance state. Only that he loves taking advantage of it, which is true. For the same reasons he has shown no leniency to Manning or Snowden.

  like sooheon correctly pointed out, I never said Obama started the program (and let's be honest, Bush didn't mastermind it either). However, acting like Obama has done anything but completely turn his back on his 2008 campaign "promises" is foolish. He ran against these programs, than immediately gave the middle finger to everyone that believed him. He's expanded and entrenched the surveillance state. Period.

What, was I supposed to vote for Romney? You think Mitt Romney was going to roll back mass surveillance?
