WASHINGTON ? President Obama yesterday signed a three-month extension of the Patriot Act?s surveillance provisions.
One aspect of the 2001 law lets law enforcement set roving wiretaps to monitor multiple communication devices.

Another lets officials ask a special court for access to business and library records deemed relevant to a terrorist threat.

A third grants the FBI the right to keep tabs on non-Americans not known to be tied to specific terrorist groups.

I can say without a doubt, if all of the original contents of the Patriot Act were merely pushed through again, I am against this. I think this Act goes too far, and I was critical of Bush and his bunch when we were arguing about it then. I don't think that the Obama bunch are promoting it and probably using all of it for the same reasons, but it might be naive to think that.

So, without looking further, I'm disappointed in Obama on this, along with some other things that are or are not going on over the past year or so.

Really,

the most disturbing thing about the UN-Patriot act is the fact that it was written before 9/11 and ready to roll out to destroy the Constitution. Obama is just another messenger with a pen pushing the agenda.
