saying they don't want extended surveillance, but they don't seem to upset over the patriot act in general. Were it to be up for renewal today, they would be for it in a big way. Dems would be somewhat against it, except now there is a dem at the healm many more of course would be for it.

that's the worst part of all, we're now stuck with it because someone from our own party has dropped all objections to it. Now there is no one to fight it. Obama did a lot of good things, but this act screwed us for a long long time, possibly indefinitely.

I am PRAYING that when it's up for renewal there is a push to modify it. Obama has the chance to do that.
