so sans evidence you claim Obama has done something criminal here.
why?
Guilty of continuing a terrible Bush program (though renamed) and ramping up the War on Drugs because he doesn't know how to stand up to the right. It looks like he let the agency run wild because it would have been politically dangerous to dismantle the massive
federal infrastructure initiated by Reagan (loosely called the "War on Drugs") - which uses strategically fueled hysteria over drugs to beef up law enforcement for the purpose of adding power to federal agencies. This is what happens when you unwind any welfare state, i.e., managing the "have nots" requires more laws and surveillance. The more you concentrate wealth, the greater the need for a repressive state apparatus to protect the status quo.
Obama, of all presidents, should have moved against this structure, but he made the disastrous, failed, unaffordable War on Drugs stronger - and even increased the raids in California on medicinal marijuana. Like Nixon and the EPA, he felt hedged in politically. None the less, he is completing the Reagan vision of giving Washington total power to intervene in the destiny of the states under the guise of "protecting citizens from the evil of drugs". But it's really just a politically viable context to increase law enforcement so that it becomes easier to manage a population whose jobs have been sent to Asia and the 3rd world.
[FYI: the Left uses poverty to grow government; the Right uses Drugs and Terrorism. Problem is: the defenders of small government are controlled by the Right, so they don't see how the Wars on Drugs and Terrorism have resulted not in a safer world, but a more powerful and unaccountable Washington. The problem with government power has always rested with the useful idiots on the Right who can't control their own party]
Reagan replaced LBJ's "War on Poverty" (designed to lift African Americans and the poor up) with the "War on Drugs" (designed to put them in cages - which makes sense if you are unwinding their programs & jobs on behalf of tax cuts). Wherever you see concentrated wealth, you also see stronger federal law enforcement. Nobody on the Right will criticize Reagan for putting all these powerful
federal agencies in place. Why? Because they get all their information from heavily controlled sources like Rush Limbaugh and FOX News. They have no idea how much power the Right has concentrated in Washington. It's tens times worse than anything imagined by LBJ. And the Left has just remained silent.
