Turns out I don’t need to blog my opinion of the Obama administration, because they already know from my e-mails, phone calls, texts, Instagrams…

Every day of Obama’s second term gets even hopenchangier than the last, don’t it?

Josh Peterson reports:

The NSA and the FBI are mining the user data of nine major Internet companies, an expose by The Washington Post revealed Thursday evening.

The previously undisclosed program — called PRISM — allows intelligence analysts to directly tap the servers of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple.

The audio and video chats, photographs, emails, documents and connection logs of users are all available to be extracted and analyzed by intelligence analysts.

And I’m sure they’re being very responsible with all that information. They’d never use it to target Obama’s political opponents, for example. Or to spy on reporters who write things he doesn’t like. That sort of thinking is just paranoid.

Your turn, lefties. You may now blame Bush.
