Obama Obama Obama....why don't we hold CONgress responsible for the mess we are in? [View all]



CONgress has been screwing things up for much longer than Obama has been in office, and they will continue long into the future.

The media likes to focus on Obama, because he is a personality, which we can bash and blame for everything.

But, Did Obama, for instance, write the patriot act full of government intrustion which Republicans complain about incessantly?

Because CONgress is about to reauthorize it

The U.S. Senate is about to reauthorize the Patriot Act and no one is talking about it

Why don't we force Congress to stop complaining about Obama and answer to this gross violation of the Constitution that the American people hate?

The Patriot Act is a violation of our rights as citizens, and should be cause to have all of Congress immediately fired for violation of their oath of office.
