And really, at the end of the day, he is mostly just guilty of participating in the predominating obsession in Washington with combating terrorism -- a political culture that values finding potential terrorists more than it values basic human rights. The fact is, politicians and pundits would eviscerate him far more for letting a possible terrorist wander free then for taking a million peoples emails.
Even if he did resign, it wouldn't end this obsession. In fact, it would make could easily make things worse because by making it his fault, the narrative would become one where his removal from office cured us of this disease. But it is not his problem alone and removing him would simply kill any momentum to actually make things better.
What would work better is if you got the same 10 million people call their senators and demand legislation to protect people's phone and internet privacy, and provide a mandate to enforce this protection. Still would probably not work, but it is a hell of a lot more plausible to succeed because these efforts have actually occasionally succeeded in the past.
I'm as outraged as anyone about the NSA's activities, but this is an overreach that dissipates righteous anger down an unproductive path.
But hey, if you want to belittle his achievements, go ahead, I doubt he cares.
Don't forget, Dan Quayle had achievements too, just not ones I cared about either.
Why? Because I want to see what happens. Bla bla it's not all his fault, I know. But I want to see how this will be handled if it ends up with 10 million signatures. I want to see the outcome.
He's obviously not going to resign but for the sake of the experiment, please sign it so we can see the result.
Pushing the blame fully on Obama is absurd. Yes, he is a shit president, just like those that preceded him. But the whole government is shit. Congress sucks. The SC doesn't give a damn about the law. The whole administration, hell, all three branches are to blame, not one person.
