There's a sunset clause, and the Patriot Act expires this year, so we'll see if Obama allows it to expire like he says that he will, along with the Bush tax cuts. Just wanted to quote you on that.
it isn't expiring because it got renewed once again. he's said it himself that he has no intentions of doing away with any of the powers gained from it. he also blabbed a lot about doing away with torture, yet he has no problems with allowing sixty million dollars to be funneled into baghram. he's deep in monsanto's pockets anyways. it's as plain as day that he tlaks from both sides of his mouth and cna't be trusted anymore than the last guy can be trusted. how hard is it to figure out that he's a slick talking conman?
he also said on numerous occaisons he was opposed to the war in iraq. but turned around and kept voting in favor of war appropriations bills.
There's no getting through to some people. They know only how to follow the media's lead and worship the guy as they have been trained to do.
I can't wait to receive my Obama service uniform. On the left arm will be a red arm band and on the other arm will be the Obama rising sun logo.
