The more things "Change" the more things stay the same! Where is the liberal media screaming and crying about this??? Not a word!!! That is hypocritical!!!

So what excuse do you have for this one? I'm sure you libs will come up with some reason why this is okay. What ever you do make sure you blame it on the republicans. Maybe Bush used mind control on Obama and made him sign it, yeah that's it.

As a liberal I'm not surprised by this.
IMO Obama has repeatedly shown by his actions that he's a centrist.
Can't say I'm happy about it, but I certainly don't blame GW for Obama's actions.

As disappointed as I may be with Obama's conservative leanings I'm still convinced he was the only rational choice within the limited ones presented to us on election day.

How about your freedom? What about liberty? How about Eric Holder??? Justice Dept. wants phone locales without warrant.

Now why would they want to do this? Do you want to be tracked?

See what this administration is up to.

I am just glad we are out of Iraq like he (and every other Demopublican) promised.

What?

OK then, at least we have less troops in Afghanistan.

What?

Please don't tell me Guantanamo is still operating.

Crap.

Let's see .. Bush creates this bill - it's a great idea
Obama reauthorizes it and it's a travesty ...

yep .. I understand perfectly

Justin.... time to lock down this thread -- I just insulted your hero

Just like a lib to not take responsibility and blame someone else. Obama is driving the bus now. I knew Bush would get blamed, that's your party doctrine, "it's all Bush's fault", well that is only going to go so far now. Obama signed the Patriot Act extension, not Bush.

Sorry, Obama is not conservative leaning, another lame excuse.

Yeah, you don't like this thread very much, do you? So your going to try to pull Justin in to this, and get under his skin to get this thread shut down. Some of you guys can sure dish it, but when you have to face the facts you can handle it, you got to blame someone else. It doesn't go along with your lib doctrine. What Obama did makes him no different than bush in his actions, there is your change.

Can't we just all get along? You've made your points, no need to continue, ranting and bickering with each other. Leave that to the pros in Congress

Well he's certainly not leaning liberal.

And I wasn't making an excuse. I'm sick about it.

Exactly. The one important thing about this thread isn't the subject, it's that knuckle-dragging people like ExcelAV make the same moronic comments when Obama does something they like! He's still a communist supported by the liberal media who blame Bush for everything - as if there weren't enough terrible things to blame him for without inventing others - even when he demonstrates that he's actually center-right.

Really, the national debate in this country has been defined by the biggest bunch of moronic assholes in our history. It's just pathetic.

Oh and by the way, ExcelAV, you need to get out more. Obama is getting LOTS of criticism from the left. The difference is that it's based on thought, something you're clearly not acquainted with.
