Obama Wins Gold Medal in Free-Style Flip-Flopping

Just one month ago...

"Obama Calls for End of NSA Phone Records Storage

"I am therefore ordering a transition that will end the Section 215 bulk metadata program as it currently exists, and establish a mechanism that preserves the capabilities we need without the government holding this bulk meta-data."
-- ABC News, Jan 17, 2014 8:48am"

Then, today...

"Obama Officials Seek to Hold NSA Phone Records Longer

The Obama administration has asked a special court for approval to hold on to National Security Agency phone records for a longer period.
-- Wall Street Journal, Feb. 26, 2014 2:39 p.m. ET"

Only in this White House can a program be ended by keeping it longer.

So, Just Like There Aren't 57 States...

...there weren't 54 terrorist plots foiled by the NSA's phone call database.

"NSA chief’s admission of misleading numbers adds to Obama administration blunders

Gen. Keith B. Alexander admitted that the number of terrorist plots foiled by the NSA’s huge database of every phone call made in or to America was only one or perhaps two — far smaller than the 54 originally claimed by the administration."

Hmm. Obama lied again. It's becoming so commonplace, one hardly notices it anymore.
