-repeal patriot act which was modified and reinstilled
The act is up at the end of this year. So how do you get this as re-upped. There was no actual work done on it yet, so why not let him actually mess it up before we kick him for it?
A claim of what it does is not what you are implying it is.The Obama Administration goes two steps further than Bush did, and claims that the US PATRIOT Act also renders the U.S. immune from suit under the two remaining key federal surveillance laws: the Wiretap Act and the Stored Communications Act. Essentially, the Obama Administration has claimed that the government cannot be held accountable for illegal surveillance under any federal statutes.
Again the bill is not even written yet. I know this is not the way we like it here in america, but lets not jump the gun until we actually see something. Besides with all the crime that the internet allows (*coughweedwebsite*) stopping things like the craigslist killer may not be the worst thing ever.-cyber security act...to protect from tERRORISM LOLS.773 - Cybersecurity Act of 2009
A bill to ensure the continued free flow of commerce within the United States and with its global trading partners through secure cyber communications, to provide for the continued development and exploitation of the Internet and intranet communications for such purposes, to provide for the development of a cadre of information technology specialists to improve and maintain effective cybersecurity defenses against disruption, and for other purposes.
He actually had said all along (during his campaign) that he was going to send more troops to afghanastan, and end america's active involvement in the war. So far that is not the worst thing in the world, and he is keeping up with it.-troops home from iraq (not 17,000 more in afghanistan)
Yeah you have him here. This is bullshit, and never would have been done once the flow of money started.-transparency/lobbyists in washington. the number ONE reason i supported obama in the least, and all of these reasons were strong points for me
i could go on, but it's really not worth my time
You don't think that there should be someone that can keep track of businesses that can push America into another economic disaster?he CHOSE tax-evading ex-prez of the fed timmy geithner to be tREASURY. he JUSt nominated ben bernanke for another term as chairman of the fed. he's proposed legislation to allow the fed power to regulate "systematic risk" in our economy.
I get that people do not want any government regardless of what it is, but think, one way or another your screwed, either it is by businesses or down the road the government. At least the government has to stand up and try to fix their mistakes eventually. Businesses just close down with the CEO's escaping with billions.
And for Geithner, yeah he gambled with Turbo-Tax and got caught. They did not have self business income input slots then, and I would bet that is why he used it. But he was the president of the NY Federal reserve bank, so one of the few things that would give you insight into every major bank in the US. And has a economics masters.
So what you would rather he put a farmer or low level employee that does not have the same insight in a position as important as Treasury secretary?
What? Do you know where we were at when those things where done? No I guess not, because if you truly did understand the importance of not letting the banks fail you would not have written that.HE'S appointed his financial advisers, who've created the BAILOUt packages for these banks to take trillions from us. it's reverse bank robbery.
Thank you, I am not blind, I know corruption exists, but nobody is clean up there in somebodies eyes. The things may be legal or illegal, but it doesn't matter everyone is either dirty, or dirty by association.LOL i know ur not blind...
He doesn't know us to care about us. I get that. But to say that he is taking your rights away is wrong.add it up hanimmal. why do u even bother defending lying, manipulative, deceptive politicians like obama who could give a fuck less about you or i
why did u even bother asking me to defend anything i said? i'm bewildered
He has kept or compromised on 52 promises so far, and only broke or stalled out on 19. Here track it yourself: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/
Just because things are put in the news or internet that says this is what is happening does not make it the case.
