US: Hello there small child can I see your private parts?
EU Banks: No, my parents said I'm not allowed to show those to anyone.

How's Obama any different than Bush?
Bush was honest about what he believes.
Bush's agenda was all about maintaining the physical safety of Americans, even if privacy had to suffer. (I disagree with this too BTW)
Obama's agenda is all about claiming high ideals while brokering backroom deals to do whatever the fuck he wants to anyway.

They must be. We are at war with them.
Drugs and teenage sex are countries too, I suppose.

So where would one apply for a visa to these countries? I can think of a few teenagers who'd love to go, and get off my lawn in the process. Win-win!
