Faux News trash talking...

Unfortunately, I do think that it is a legitimate criticism that Obama has not done away with much of the overreaching legislation and other regulation that originated during the Shrub years. For example, the Patriot Act was reenacted and not vetoed.

Don't know what it tells you, but it tells me the bastards are in cahoots.

I agree with D about the Patriot Act but IIRC the congressional vote to re-authorize it exceeded any veto threat. Phyrric victorys by using vetoes that ultimately get overturned only spend political capital better used elsewhere.

Interesting speech from the President the other day. He's making noises about ending this shitty 'War on Terror'. If congress would get the hell outta the way, we might be able to finally close our version 'Devil's Island' at Guantanemo. He is also talking about restricting the use of drones by taking the targeting out of the cowboy's hands over at CIA.

Unfortunately tha "cowboys" at the CIA have a better track record than the Army.
