She got a medal for fighting a surveillance state (historically quite questionable, btw) by a Obama. And now she has to learn that Obama is no better.

Thanks to you I've read what Obama then said (it's linked above): "Told by the communists that she couldn’t pursue her love of languages, she excelled as a physicist.
Asked to spy for the secret police, she refused.
"
Perfect.
