What freedoms did Oblama take away from us on account of Osama?
If one believes that the Patriot act took away freedoms then one must believe that Obama did also since he supported its passage every time it came up for renewal. Then of course there is his NDAA signing statement that claimed the Government could legally arrest people without charging them with a crime. Then of course we have his support of Holder over fast and Furious gun running in a blatant attempt to make an end run on firearms control in this Country.
GOP Strategy:
Pass Patriot Act amid massive fear campaign.
Accuse anyone who doesn't support it of being weak on defense with massive media campaign.
Drive public opinion toward supporting a Patriot Act by claiming that it has prevented attacks.
Apply incredible pressure on Obama to keep the act intact. Threaten massive misinformation campaign if he doesn't.
Point finger at Obama for keeping act in place.
