Liar, liar

"Now, let me talk about the phone companies. You cannot expect phone companies to participate if they feel like they're going to be sued. I mean, it is — these people are responsible for shareholders. They're private companies.

The government said to those who have alleged to have helped us that it is in our national interests and it's legal. It's in our national interest because we want to know who's calling who from overseas into America. We need to know in order to protect the people.

It was legal. And now all of a sudden plaintiffs attorneys, class-action plaintiffs attorneys, you know — I don't want to try to get inside their head; I suspect they see, you know, a financial gravy train — are trying to sue these companies. It's unfair. It is patently unfair.

And, secondly, these lawsuits create doubts amongst those who will — whose help we need."

-George W. Bush

Uh..........no.

Phone companies HAVE to participate if they are given a court order, no matter how they feel about it.

And it was NOT FUCKING LEGAL. Never, ever, ever.

This presidency is a disaster.
