“Obama is gonna love the Patriot Act”——
too bad Bush didn’t have the foresight to see what might be the afterlife of the Patriot Act, which you’re suggesting might now be expanded to include those people, like us, who are critical of the President. Of course, that’s in effect the way the Left demagogued the meaning and purpose of the PA from the beginning, as nothing more than a veiled attempt to consolidate Bush’s power, when it was in fact what they would do with a Patriot Act, had they been the ones to formulate it. Now they will inherit it, and start going after US, who are then lumped in with the (non-existent, of course) Islamic terrorists the PA was all about. Funny how things work out. They might just go that far, it all depends of how they perceive the criticism that will come Obama’s way over a whole variety of other issues, like maybe the multitude of basic ones that got overlooked and wound up having no effect on keeping him from getting elected in the first place.

I said when that thing was passed, we didn't want to give powers to President Bush that we wouldn't want Clinton - or worse - to have.

We limited go’t types have been warning America about the Patriot Act for years. Maybe next time they’ll listen.

Precisely what I was warning people about. Never pass anything until you are completely comfortable with Hillary Rodham Clinton fully able to utilize the powers of the said legislation. That should always be a litmus test.

In this case, we have someone worse than HRC...

Of course if you opposed the Patriot act, you are a traitor according to some.
