(ORF) Covert political snooping is one of the perks new Presidents inherit when they take office. JFK and Bobby Kennedy snooped on J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover snooped back on the Brothers from Camelot. Nixon snooped on the Democrats and war protesters. The Clinton's snooped on the travel office, probably Vince Foster, and everyone else. President Obama will have his snoop investigation and may have telegraphed who some of his first targets will be.
President Obama is 'urging' Republicans to turn off the Rush Limbaugh talk-show radio program. Obama's remarks on Limbaugh being divisive and threatening to the new President's promised era of change are more on the level of a community organizer than the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. The most obvious failing of this Presidential remark is the strategic slip that Obama fears opposition. A strong confident leader endures pot-shots and criticism and forges forward with the plan. A leader who urges legally elected officials not to listen to free media opposition coveys an image of paranoia and weakness.
Enter the era of Obama's snooping campaigns. Envision young elite Obama supporters haunting the halls of Congress pressing their ears against closed doors listening for AM radios tuned into Rush Limbaugh. President Obama could copy Detective Vic Macky in the 'Shield'. Macky planted audio and video bugs in other cops vehicles to snoop on what they were doing. At some point in the future we'll view an undercover news story about House Republicans meeting in basements somewhere listening to conservative talk-radio, attempting to elude Obama's talk-radio police.
Snooping on political opponents has always occurred in American politics. President Obama has shown his intolerance of free speech and thought at the very beginning of his administration.
