I don't put all the blame on this President, as much as I blame those in congress in both political parties. This crap started with 9/11 and has been going downhill ever since, with both Democrats and Republicans voting on, making policies on, and extending much of the errosions the OP is speaking of.
There is enough blame to go around on all sides. But more importantly, why do the American people continue to be snowed by all this? Media..and lack of education, and those who simply do not follow politics.
I have known so many young fella's who tell me they don't vote, they could care less, and those who think more government intrusion is better. Sigh...
The NSI answers to the DNI, which in turn has a boss. Know who that is? The President. Know who that is? Obama.
While I haven't any use for either party, there is one man who has the power to reign this in, and he has said in effect he has no intentions to do so. I don't know what Jedi mind powers people think others hold over the President, but this is one case where one man has no accountability to anyone, be it government or party. He can say "No more".
Besides, there is some truth to what others have said. We wanted the government to look over us. We wanted them to take care of us, keep us safe and give us more. All that is required is for the citizen to diminish and you have most anything- at a cost.
Our nation has sold it's birthright for a bowl of lentils.
Well at least many are taking an interest in the world they signed up for.
