Despite a federal court ruling which agreed with NSA leaker Edward Snowden, about the unconstitutional nature of the PRISM surveillance program run by the National Security Agency, President Obama reacted to the judge's decision by promising to find a way to justify and continue the mass-espionage program, which at the very least, records and stores data on billions of people's telecommunications, within the United States and abroad. This violation of Constitutionally-protected rights, including the guarantee of privacy and freedom from government invasion in the U.S. Bill of Rights, is so well-documented that it was the cause of an entire portfolio of balding presidents caricatured by the financial news artist of optionsclick's business news blog team. Whether you buy or sell using the high or low option, you can rest assured that your online transactions are safe and secure on OptionsClick.com even if the NSA is tracking the phone records of you and everyone you know. And you can laugh a little longer, knowing that the fourth POTUS, James Madison, was never painted bald or balding during his lifetime, despite this satirical drawing of the early 21st century. Of course, had President Madison been in office today, he would have surely prevented or shut down the PRISM program altogether, because of his basic view that government of the people, for the people and by the people, should be as small and uninvasive as possible, in order to ensure liberty from the crushing tyranny of overbearing governments. It is indeed ironic that the man who wrote the Federalist Papers would have opposed the very same federal government he helped create, whose abuse of power has now violated the right to privacy of virtually every single human being who uses a modern telecom device, be it a landline telephone, a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, a phablet or a smartphone. And given Obama's attitude about the whole program, it just shows how very different today's American president is from the founding fathers who first held office when the country was young and faced with much bigger threats to its existence. To all of that dark comic relief, and to all of the online investors who read the latest financial market intelligence, this balding President Madison cartoon is dedicated.
