(11,076 posts)I think the Patriot Act *ucks but some dangerous people put it into law many years ago. Do you remember the reports about NSA and rooms full of monitoring equipment. 60 Minutes reporting on phone company employees with full knowledge of the extent of monitoring. Hey it was 100 % then so now is it 200%. Right! It is all bad but it encompasses organizations well beyond Obama. He may love it, I don't know. The fact remains, it is the law. They can and will do it because no president in history has ever given power back. That too was discussed in 2001.
In fact this has nothing to do with Obama when you look at it. It has to do with a society being taken hostage while the victims looked on and did nothing, for the most part. If you weren't on a corner during the * debacle you really shouldn't be judging those who were.If you didn't do something to stop the Patriot Act from becoming law then really you have no beef. Except for the fact that Obama is responsible for all of your ills.
