WHILE IT MAY SEEM FUNNY THAT OBAMA WOULD REFERENCE HIMSLEF IN THE THRID PERSON (he is actually slapping us in the face with what he knows has happened), WHAT MANY ARE MISSING IS THAT THE SENATOR OBAMA AND THE PRESIDENT OBAMA ARE actually TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS—-THINK OF THE TIME TRAVEL STORY INVOLVING OBAMA—-WHAT IS NOT KNOWN, UP TO THIS POINT, IS THAT OBAMA WAS SENT SENT, VIA TIME TRAVEL TO REPLACE THE TRUE PRESIDENT WHO WAS TO BE ELECTED AND WOULD HAVE LED PEOPLE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN THE COUNTRY IS GOING IN TODAY—-ONCE “THEY” FOUND OUT THE REPLACED PRESIDENT WOULD NOT PLAY THEIR GAME AND COULD NOT BE KILLED OFF WITHOUT MJOR REPUCUSSIONS—-THEY SENT HIS REPLACEMENT IN THEREBY DELAYING ANY POTENTIAL INFLUENCE OF THE REAL PRESIDENT WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED—IN EFFECT THEY CHANGED HISTORY AND IN THE PROCESS HASTENED THE DEMISE OF CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT—-(IT’S OK TO NOT BELIEVE ME AND TO CALL ME A NUT BUT i KNOW WHAT i KNOW AND YOU DON’T)

 

 

 

In recent months, Barack Obama has forcefully defended the use of the Patriot Act to gather the phone records of every American. But before he was elected president, he had a very different perspective on the issue.

In December 2005, Congress was debating the first re-authorization of the Patriot Act, a controversial 2001 law that gave the federal government expanded power to spy on Americans. And Barack Obama was one of nine senators who signed a letter criticizing the then-current version of the legislation for providing insufficient protections for civil liberties.

The senators focused on Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allows the government to obtain “business records” that are “relevant” to a terrorism investigation. Sen. Obama and eight of his colleagues worried that the provision would “allow government fishing expeditions targeting innocent Americans. We believe the government should be required to convince a judge that the records they are seeking have some connection to a suspected terrorist or spy.”
