I just want him to leave now. I won't feel relief until I see that helicopter flying him away on that last day.
It's one thing when there is a clear idiot like Bush but when someone as educated and thoughtful as Obama supports this and lies to the people with word-play (making it legal instead of ending it) it just makes me sick.
Even worse, is watching all the liberals support and defend this and try to paint Snowden as someone selfish. Only commentator I can watch these days is Chris Hayes, he "gets it" because he is a progressive and not just blindly liberal.
Maybe it's always been this way and I am just realizing it, but MSNBC has went to hell. Like you said, Chris Hayes is one of the only progressives on mainstream TV to actually standup for Snowden. Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnel, they're nothing but Obama apologists. I hope that Chris maintains good ratings because television really needs him. I've been watching way more independent sources now such as Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman. Really great program and they have a podcast.
Edit: For those who haven't seen his program, here's Chris Hayes at his best. (From today, June 27th, 2013)
