The reauthorization of the Patriot Act has been slipped into a jobs bill.
Yes, no shit.
Obama's sneaky Democratic crew think we won't notice.
The second page of this article in Politico has confirmation:
Harry Reid pushes $80 billion jobs bill
Or you can find it in this pdf of the bill in Section 645 on page 125. The pdf is 362 pages long.
I can't wait to see how the hope and change Obamabots here on OS try to justify this latest betrayal.
And just to keep things in perspective, I am more likely to be eaten by a shark while struck by lightning than I am to be a casualty in a terrorist attack. So what is this Patriot Act for again?
Why are we spending triple on the Defense War budget than what it would cost to implement single payer health care? Keep in mind that single payer will pay for itself over time, but the forever wars are just a sucking pit that will bankrupt us.
The reauthorization of the Patriot Act brought to you by the president who thinks it is ok to deprive American citizens of their right to a fair trial and just assassinate them because he wants to:

Obama's only going to let it pass because he's using a slick political ploy we can't understand. Wow, he's smart! Those Republicans are going to get it now! (in my own mind anyway)
I can't give you the enough thanks for finding out here. I printed it the last time and it looks like it has more pages this go round.
I am about ready to move somewhere that does not spy on me or you and tell us to be happy for it.'
let us see the response here. I will be interested in it.
The sooner people realize that the Dems and Repubs don't have the peoples interest in mind, the sooner the Revolution can start.
It reminds me of when Obomb 'Em and Limbaugh were both in Hawaii, no doubt kicking back a few cold ones behind closed doors!
But then, how do you compromise with fascists?!?
What would you have us do in the presidential election?
Would McSame have been a better choice?
I don't think so.
Therfore, We're Screwed!
I am sorry for the many good hearted hard working people in this country. Especially my son and my granchildren.
Looks like we are headed for a feudal society ie. the very rich and the poor.
I must confess that I'm very surprised at Obama. You can't get into Harvard Law and be editor of the Harvard Law Review if you are unaware. How can he not know that the Republican Party has been co-opted by the neocon/fascists?
Glad to see your post though.
Thought you had disappeared.
