Patriot Act Extension Signed By Obama

Friday, May 27, 2011


Candidate Obama Versus President Obama So now let's get to the debate everyone wants to see between the pro-civil liberties "Candidate Obama" and the anti-const­itutional authoritar­ian, President Obama: Senator Obama branded the Patriot Act "shoddy and dangerous" and pledged to end it in 2003. In 2005, he pledged to filibuster the Bush-spons­ored bill, calling them "just plain wrong" in a Senate speech. He argued: "Governmen­t has decided to go on a fishing expedition through every personal record or private document -- through library books they've read and phone calls they've made...We don't have to settle for a Patriot Act that sacrifices our liberties or our safety -- we can have one that secures both." It goes without saying, Obama reneged on those pledges.
