Obama taking pages from dictators while trying to pose as protector of freedom.

I'm deeply alarmed now by the latest actions of pres O. when I start seeing his activities in the whole.  Yesterday a friend sent a note alerting me to this issue and I initially blew it off but now its getting widespread attention.  Sorry if this is a bit messy but lately its a lot harder to post stuff here that is composed somewhere else ( I do it to reduce chance that I'll get timed out on GB).

Have many of you read of this latest govt "study" - this time invading the country's new rooms?   Maybe they think they have the  2nd ame3ndment on the run so now can further disregard the 1st too?
Very scary to me that under O the executive branch is feeling free to ignore our rights (even more) with these bogus studies.  Remember the traffic "study) in Texas and Penn earlier this winter?  Of course there's all the data gathering from NSA (that probably has gone on under numerous presidents) and  now the O Care snooping.  I'm very very disturbed by this trend. that seems to be growing.  Its one thing to read it in Fox News and Info Wars but when the main article appears in the Wall Street Journal by an FCC Commissioner himself, its past time to sit up and take notice.

 The FCC Wades Into the Newsroom
Why is the agency studying 'perceived station bias' and asking about coverage choices?

News organizations often disagree about what Americans need to know. MSNBC, for example, apparently believes that traffic in Fort Lee, N.J., is the crisis of our time. Fox News, on the other hand, chooses to cover the September 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi more heavily than other networks. The American people, for their part, disagree about what they want to watch.
But everyone should agree on this: The government has no place pressuring media organizations into covering certain stories.
Unfortunately, the Federal Communications Commission, where I am a commissioner, does not agree. Last May the FCC proposed an initiative to thrust the federal government into newsrooms across the country. With its "Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs," or CIN, the agency plans to send researchers to grill reporters, editors and station owners about how they decide which stories to run. A field test in Columbia, S.C., is scheduled to begin this spring.
The purpose of the CIN, according to the FCC, is to ferret out information from television and radio broadcasters about "the process by which stories are selected" and how often stations cover "critical information needs," along with "perceived station bias" and "perceived responsiveness to underserved populations."..........................

Critics want FCC media study thrown on ‘trash heap,’ skeptical of changes
Published February 20, 2014FoxNews.com
Critics of a proposed Federal Communications Commission study that would send researchers into newsrooms across America say the new chairman's vow to tweak the plan doesn't go far enough -- with one leading media group calling on the agency to scrap the study entirely.     "Where it really needs to go is onto the trash heap," Mike Cavender, director of the Radio Television Digital News Association, said in a statement. .................

The following CNN report is one I had not found before and I'm surprised to learn these studies were done in the past.  However, as the public becomes more technology aware AND as technology has advanced so far that it can do stuff never of a concern in the past:   CNN   "..............It's been going on for decades. Previous surveys date to the 1970s. The last one was run in 2007, and it included the collection of blood and saliva samples without apparent controversy, sheriff's spokesmen in both Alabama counties said.
But this time, it's happening as the Obama administration struggles to explain revelations that U.S. spy organizations have been tracking phone and Internet traffic. Against that backdrop, the NHTSA-backed roadblocks have led to complaints in Alabama about an intrusive federal government........."  http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/19/us/drug-survey-roadblocks/index.html

For years I tried to avoid coming to the same conclusion - benefit of the doubt you know - but not now.  He is scary evil.
