But now when Obama wants do this they say its great, better than sliced bread. And when someone questions this they want to compare this to the Patriot Act in its defense. Thats just hillarious.
I never once said I agreed with Obama on this issue - I don't. I didn't agree with the patriot act either.

I can list many great things he has done from environmental issues, educational issues, health care issues (especially the push for standardized health records), push for bi-partison healthcare reform (if you don't think this is needed - get your head out of the dirt or away from fox news), lifted restrictions on stem-cell research, international relations have tremendously improved, re-focus our war on terrorist- not Iraq, encouraged others to take a stand to militants/terroists (pakistan), restrictions on lobbyist, economy is showing signs of an upswing, housing prices have risen for the past three months (first time in 3 years).

This is all in an 8 month period without any substantial time for significant progress. This is far better. Maybe you just don't like a president that actually works. By this time in the last administrations tenure - the president had already take close to 40 vacation days.
