Guest Deisel Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Obama 'hijacks' tech executive meeting to make 'PR pitch' on Obamacare website fix instead of dealing with NSA surveillance'We didn't really care for a PR pitch' about Obamacare, said one executiveThe White House telegraphed in advance that the president wanted to talk up his efforts to fix healthcare.gov, but no one in the room was interestedTech executives gathered in the Roosevelt Room to discuss the NSA's overreach in seizing their digital recordsA federal judge ruled Monday that the practice violates the U.S. Constitution's guarantees against unreasonable searchesDuring a White House meeting called to brief America's largest tech companies today about government overreach in electronic surveillance, President Barack Obama changed the subject – angering some meeting participants by shifting gears to address the failed launch of healthcare.gov.'That wasn't what we came for,' a vice-president of a company whose CEO attended told MailOnline.

'We all told the White House that we were only there to talk about what the NSA was up to and how it affects us.'Read more: http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz2nlo45uJDFollow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook Edited December 17, 2013 by Deisel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
