Senior Obama administration officials have secretly authorized the interception of communications carried on portions of networks operated by AT&T and other Internet service providers, a practice that might otherwise be illegal under federal wiretapping laws. The secret legal authorization from the Justice Department originally applied to a cybersecurity pilot project in which the military monitored defense contractors' Internet links. Since then, however, the program has been expanded by President Obama to cover all critical infrastructure sectors including energy, healthcare, and finance starting June 12.

Now you know why I do not like Obama. On most issues he is a tea party republican. At least if he was an old school republican... (are they extinct?)

That's your opinion, but I find Obama to be conservative. His administration was not quick to get out what has turned out to be disasters in Afghanistan and Iraq, he effectively invaded Libya that effectively just reversed who was the repressed culture, his administration continues to emphasis war on marijuana despite it being legalized in several states, he did not overturn his administration on the day after pill for teens, he supported bailing out the banks just like Bush (he effectively supports big business. His health care bill is mostly good for the insurance companies and hospitals, not the people. He also does not seem to be supporting the Hispanics in the immigration issues. Outside of his policies on discrimination, he is a conservative through and through. You give me an example outside of this where his policies have been liberal. This is just another example of his conservative side. I like the fiscal conservatives, but this tea party, or reactionary group I cannot stand, and I cannot stand Obama.

Well this is really a conversation for the soapbox.
The problem is all the things you listed are not conservative ideals. While RINOS (Republican In Name Only) support those things, they're not truly conservative ideals. Except perhaps the supporting and being tied to big business part. The funny thing is the "Tea Party", as I understand it, is against most of the things you've enumerated.
Obama certainly is not conservative on the spending side of things, nor on many of the programs he pushes for. Most conservatives were very angry with Bush (and Congress) for the bailouts and subsidies he instigated. Same with Obama. Why, because they're not conservative, but rather liberal & socialistic.
While, I get what you're saying, most of Obama's policies are really liberal policies, including the bailouts, subsidies and Obamacare. I agree with you that it's gonna benefit insurance co's, etc (not sure about hospitals), certainly not doctors and patients.
We have a bastardization of politics here in the US. Grr.

I think Facebook was actually created by the FBI and the CIA so that they could watch what the entire world is doing!
