Oh, you can count on them to do what they want, now that they've got a
lock on all three branches of the Federal Government.

I'll be surprised if the USA is still recognizable by 2012.

Gee, I longer recognized the country when the Cheney/Bush
administration started spying on citizens, tapping phones,reading
email , shoving chemical glow sticks up the asses of random losers
picked up in foreign countries, etc. Where the hell have you been that
last 8 years?

You mean the Patriot Act?  It didn't do all that.  Besides, Obama's
embraced it.

The national security letters are hardly constitutional. I don't see
what Obama has to do with this

The national security letters?  Sorry, I don't get the reference.
From your list, I thought you spoke of the Patriot Act.

Personally, I don't know how Obama can constitutionally compel
everyone's doctor to put their medical records in a giant electronic
database--that seems a gross violation of privacy. Not to mention
cross-reference it all with the IRS for means-testing.  I can scarcely
imagine a greater intrusion into our personal affairs than this.

Uptight Republicans are often accused of intruding into people's
bedrooms, but Obama (and the IRS) would know more about our bodies
than we do ourselves.

That's wrong.

The PATRIOT act greatly expanded the power of the National Security
Letter.

So?  If you're upset about that, then you should be upset that Obama's
still doing that.

And if you're upset about that limited alleged intrusion into our
privacy, I'd think you'd be red-faced over the healthcare intrusion,
which covers everyone, not just a few suspects.

Right now, your medical data is probably being read by outsourced
workers in India or Pakistan.http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2003/10/22/MNGCO2...

Use H&R block? Your IRS data is probably sitting in Bangalor.

Neither case applies to me.

I rather have my data locked up by the feds than some sleazy private
contractor.

Fine that's your choice.  I choose otherwise, and it's my
constitutional right to be secure in my papers and effects, and I wish
to exercise that right here.

Obama's trying to ram through a bad program, to solve the wrong
problem, with money we don't have.  I suppose opposing such
recklessness makes me a tea-bagger.  So much for civil discourse.

The Pakistan case is just one who got caught. Your health records are
probably sitting in Bangalore right now. Trust me, you've been hacked.
These sleaze bag corporations have been outsourcing to the 3rd world
for years.

BTW, I complained to the Obama campaign when he signed the extension
of the PATRIOT act. There is nothing I can do about pandering
politicians.
