. . . last year.

Then they could bitch their asses off and say, "See, told ya so, Obama was 'One and Done' just like the Republicans said he would be."

If Romney were President now, the NSA program would have been expanded, and the FISA court would go back to being ignored, because that is what Bush did for all of those years after he got in to the White House!!

So, those kids can stay and make as many mud pies as they want to, but they are the ones that are going to have to eat them.
