In a word: no. I don't feel that Obama understands the dangers of a government with unchecked power. I think many liberals just imagine that he has some very scary information that motivates him to act like this. I doubt it. But, I also doubt Romney would have stopped FISA.Do you think that if this were up for signature and George W. Bush were the president the left would be as quiet about it as they are right now?

Not many leaders are apt to voluntarily dilute the powers they are given even if their rhetoric during campaigning says they might. Guess I was silly to think otherwise. Is this how people become cynical?
