Obama Authorizes Patriot Act Extension

In a report from the Associated Press, President Barack Obama has signed a one-year extension of several provisions in the main U.S. counterterrorism law, the Patriot Act.  Provisions in the measure would have expired on Sunday without Obama’s signature Saturday.

Although the President did authorize an extension of the world famous Patriot Act for another year, it is clear the President still lacks the necessary ‘War On Terror’ mindset needed to be successful as Commander In Chief in the midst of two wars.  Our naive ‘Candidate Obama’ (a title he has yet to relinquish) was to “do away with” the evil Patriot Act (as coined by radical leftists) practically when he took office on Day 1, and shortly after he officially clicked the padlock on the prison quarters at Guantanamo Bay.  It looks to me like we should go ahead an chalk-up another mark in the FAILED CAMPAIGN PROMISES column.  Thanks Mr. President!  If we could only get that check book, pen and microphone away from you, maybe your Presidency will actually shape up and look decent, yet you will likely always be compared to “President Peanut” Jimmy Carter as the worst President ever.
