Thats ok for me - thankfully I dont base my opinions on the way the wind blows.

[quote:16753]Also are you saying that it's a long standing tradition that american presidents do something illegal?[/quote:16753]

You said hes the worst president in history. I offered BRIEF historial context to show hes not. I said nothing about excusing the illegal and ethically suspect of past Presidents.

[quote:16753]Sounds like the argument Alberto Gonzales used to justify the NSA wiretapping program which goes against the constitution[/quote:16753]

Dunno where you heard this from. If the Spy Program violated any constitutional precepts, the case would have been argued in front of the Supremes, or someone would have - at the very least - said they had intended to do so. Seeing though that members of both congressional houses reviewed the program, and its authorization - I dont think this is going to get much traction.

Dont let your glib ignorance of American politics and policies presuppose the same ignorance on the part of others.
