All that surveillance and Obama can't find terrorists or illegal aliens?

Did I say "can't?"

I meant won't.

Because to Barack Obama, terrorists and illegal aliens are not a priority. Tea Partyers, Conservatives, and Patriots. They're the priority.

He vowed to "fundamentally transform" America.

And boy oh boy, he sure has.

The amount of surveillance he's unleashed on American citizens would make J. Edgar Hoover blush. Thanks Verizon, yes the NSA can hear you now. And don't for one minute believe that AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Skype aren't also cooperating. As are just about every major internet company and search engine.

According to the Post, the National Security Agency and FBI are "tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading US Internet companies, extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person's movements and contacts over time." The program is code-named PRISM, and was leaked to the newspaper by a "career intelligence offer" who said, "They quite literally can watch your ideas form as you type."

Also feeding into this Orwellian database? Credit card transactions. And supermarket loyalty card info. Undoubtedly along with a whole bunch of other stuff we haven't heard about yet.

So riddle me this Batman.

With all that data, and given that the Russians told him about the Tsarnaev brothers, why didn't someone stop the Boston Marathon bombing?

Because Barack Obama refuses to consider Islam to be the source of terrorism, that's why.

A correspondent to Breitbart News writes in frustration: "The FBI and NSA were reading [Nidal] Hassan's emails to [Anwar] Al Awlaki and monitoring his phone calls and didn't think he was a threat at Ft. Hood. The FBI was also monitoring the phone calls of the Times Square bomber and didn't do anything. So much for the value of phone call and email monitoring. Check the old news clips on these stories. It's all there."

We know who Obama's real enemies are.

And then comes a reminder of which information the government has been most interested in: information about Tea Party and conservative groups, information about individual activists in the conservative movement, information about the prayers of pro-life groups — information, in other words, about its political opponents, who have been treated since the beginning of the Obama administration like the real national enemy.

Welcome to Chicago politics coupled with Soviet tactics.

This is not the America our Founding Fathers envisioned.

But it's exactly what Obama promised us we'd get.
