[Peace-discuss] Glenn Greenwald today on ABC's This Week

["E. Wayne Johnson 朱稳森"]

J. Leno put it in perspective:

"We wanted a president that listens to all Americans – now we have 
one...Actually, President Obama clarified the situation today. He said 
no one is listening to your phone calls. The president said it’s not 
what the program is all about. You know, like the IRS isn’t about 
targeting certain political groups. That’s not what it’s about!

I mean what’s going on? The White House has looked into our phone 
records, checking our computers, monitoring our e-mails. When did the 
government suddenly become our psycho ex-girlfriend? When did that 
happen? When did that happen? When did that happen?


That one got big laughs here yesterday.  Also one of our co-workers had 
a quasi-psycho ex-girlfriend so
that added some extra dimension to it.
