ORIGINAL: BitYakin I won't even mention the NSA thing, we'll just GIVE HIM THAT ONE OK, although I will point out that under bush it was SUPPOSED TO EXPIRE, and obama has pretty much said, this is the world you live in now DEAL WITH IT! This however is just too much. The big "scandals" about the NSA about its data collection programs, like PRISM, which were authorized by the "Protect America Act" of 2007 which did have sunsets. However in 2008 the FISA amendments of 2008 that supposedly repealed the Protect America Act actually reauthorized the data gathering stuff without a sunset. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protect_America_Act http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/s1927/text http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/hr6304/text Then in January 2009, before Obama was sworn in, the FISA court released a ruling that said that the NSA data gathering programs were legal. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/15/AR2009011502311.html?hpid=topnews So Obama is just continuing a policy of your hero W and not one that is supposed to have ended. And considering the hissy fit had by conservatives when the President tried to close Gitmo I can only imagine the apoplexy that would have occurred if the President unilaterally shut down the program. sooo you are saying OBAMA is working tirelessly to repeal these things? nooo I don't think so.... I may gave been wrong about when or if they were supposed to expire, but I was 100% correct when I said OBAMA as made it clear HE LIKES IT, and has NO INTENTION of ending it.... and of course you skipped everything else, because even though you wish to pretend they MEAN NOTHING, they all DID HAPPEN! one other lil DETAIL, no president EVER was my HERO, thats just you PRETENDING AGAIN! saying things like only shows your childish nature! I do not DEFEND BUSH, I only point ot facts, and hey I even admit when I was WRONG about something!
