Obama's Patriot Act

Democrat House passed it.
Democrat Senate passed it.
Obama signed it.

Done. Feel free to attack them as you did Bush. Or be called a hypocrit, either way is fine.

Not surprising in the least. Also, anyone remember back to when Obama criticized the Bush administration's domestic/foreign policy, and in the very next breath introduces a measure that goes BEYOND Bush-era policy?


If you still buy into the Democrat vs. Republican thing, well, you have my condolences. At the end of the day, there's very few, minor differences between them.

For those of us living in a cave- mind explaining what just passed?

Not necessarily an opinion on it- but the actual bill.

Patriot Act, same one that was unanimously approved by congress under Bush but was considered "horrible" by the democrats. You know, the reason the democrats believe they were elected was to get rid of it... The one that they say makes us not safer but actually less safe. Same, exact, bill. Guess they don't want us to be safe.

News flash: Democracy died long ago. Its a slow downward spiral from here. As GhengisTron said, they're pretty much the same party anyways, just represented by different industries.

Unfortunately as some of the rhetoric that msnbc is spinning, the democrats seem to just be getting lazy now.

Note: I haven't heard the entire speech or researched anything related to this bill, infact no one in this thread has even managed to post the name of it unless its called "Obama's Patriot Act"

Professional, you aren't supposed to know what anyone here is saying. It's as if someone spoke to you in tongues and expected you to make some sort of response. It would be absurd, of course. That's the whole point of partisan spin. You're not supposed to know what "Obama's Patriot Act" means, except that it's supposed to scare you.

Here is a news link that can hopefully shed some light for you in a manner that you can actually understand and without nonsensical platitudes. Astute readers will note that Democrats unfortunately had to withhold protections to privacy because they lacked the required amount to block filibuster from Republicans.

You can't honestly project the blame on anyone else BUT the Democrats, uBer, come on.

S. 1692:

USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2009

Sponsor:

Sen. Patrick Leahy [D-VT]

Cosponsors:
Benjamin Cardin [D-MD]
Dianne Feinstein [D-CA]
Edward Kaufman [D-DE]
Amy Klobuchar [D-MN]
Bernard Sanders [I-VT]
Sheldon Whitehouse [D-RI]

Did the republicans force them to do that too? What stopped the Democrats from just... letting it expire? That way, they don't have to face the evil filibuster, and they don't look like a bunch of hypocritical assholes. So both the House AND the Senate voted for it (aka Democrats voted for it, after they sponsored it) and then Obama, a Democrat signed it. And you're telling me that Republicans are somehow responsible for all this? I personally think both parties are a joke, but come on, let's get real here.

I believe the term you're looking for is: Veto.

Which is what I hear a lot of democrats saying. It's interesting, while the campaign was going on they all cheered at the "change" that he'd bring, they all touted the lies she spoke, but now that he's doing the same thing it's "Oh well it's still Bush's fault, Obama's doing what should be done!" Riiiiiight.

Where's the change?

The Obama administration announced today that they're reading all your e-mails. Discuss how bad Bush was to detract from this fact.
