(only to hold their noses in 2012), did not call Obma a hero back then in 2008.

I reserve the term hero for those that save lives...oh that would be Obama(care) and possibly Superman. I reserve the term hero for those that bring relief from lifes hardships and financial ruin for millions of people...oh, that would be Obama. Snowden hasn't really done anything positive or to advance their personal standings in life for anyone in my estimation. Applying the term hero to Snowden is so misplaced. Perhaps "gutsy" was the term they were looking for and got all tripped up in the moment of trying to rebrand Obama and the rest of the Admin as heinous and wrong at every turn.
