I did. And I don't need to hear a staffer talking about differences of scale. I need to hear Obama on record explaining why he campaigned on fair treatment for whistleblowers, and still wants Snowdens head on a platter.

You are acting bitter and naive at the same time.

I share your dissatisfaction with Obama but I got over being bitter about two years into his administration. That was about the time I was not longer naive about who he was.

You know full well how Obama feels about whistle blowers.

I don't understand why he commuted Manning's sentence but what ever, I suppose it's one of his feel good moments.
