what if Obama has been squeezing the whistleblowers so hard, harder than any previous administration, and lets Patriot Act spying continue to unprecedented -- and corporate outsourced -- levels, all to get us riled?
what if the easiest way to remove such NSA programs is to foment the anger through the long game?
perhaps Obama wants us to force him to stop these programs. we are arguing the wrong point. it is obviously a breach of constitutional power and we need to be upset enough to end this before it ends in the wrong hands.
however, to do that it has to be unpopular. and it is our job to rattle the democratic base and show him its unpopular.
we have to work together and "make him end it." he needs us to politically agitate against him. he needs our anger at him and the democrats to make us repeal these bad things! we fail him if we don't help him force ourselves to make him stop them!

why won't you help Obama be the best he can be by letting him get under your skin and agitate you into action!
you probably don't even have The List on your visualizing board...
