Whistleblowing ain't Obama's thing.
From The Guardian:
"Barack Obama has the worst record of any US president when it comes to dealing with whistleblowers, according to the Oscar-nominated director of a documentary about the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers in the 1970s.
Judith Ehrlich, whose 2009 film The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers explored the 70s leak of US government documents on the Vietnam war, said Obama had indicted five alleged whistleblowers since taking office, making him the "worst president in terms of his record on whistleblowing".
And...Obama the Extender...
"Speaking at a session on WikiLeaks at the Sheffield Doc/Fest on Thursday, she said whistleblowing had become more dangerous than ever, in part due to the restrictions imposed by the US patriot act, which was brought in by George Bush in 2001 and recently extended for several years by Obama."
Isn't that what pretty much sums up his Presidency? Merely extending and expanding what Bush did and slap the "liberal progressive" tag on it?
