Obama Expands Surveillance Powers on His Way Out
As an ordinary citizen, I&#x27;m definitely wary and suspicious of government surveillance. I probably prefer a slightly increased risk of terrorism vs an increase in government surveillance powers. But I wonder if I was the president and faced with a constant threat and paranoia of a terrorist attack under my watch if I would compromise my own usual ideals to protect the country. It&#x27;s definitely a rock and a hard place situation.
