The Bots haven't accepted this yet, but even they'll see it in time.
This is nothing different than what was done under Bush. The difference is that the Obamahaters accepted it under Bush and now denounce the same exact policy under Obama. I, for one, denounce it regardless of the sitting president.
This has been going on for years. When Bush did it, libs cried foul. Now that Obama is doing it, the cons cry foul.
Most Americans probably feel the govt should protect them from the big, bad terrorists and whine like children when the bad guys manage to pull one off, like they did in Boston two months ago. Many of the same folks who cried bitterly that the Boston bombing was a terrible security failure are likely the same ones who will whine about the phone records.
Some folks are incapable of self-analysis and/or consistency.
Not an Obama supporter but isnt it you idiots who said if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about????
Why should your private life be known to the government?
While you may not have been active in criminal activity, you may not like anyone knowing that call to the the gay talk-line or the 2-hour call to that 19 year old co-ed, when your wife was out-of-town.
Having the government know embarrassing facts opens the possibility of threat, intimidation and blackmail. That is exactly what Nixon did to Jack Andersen, the reporter who wrote critical articles about Nixon.

Why do you people keep talking about Bush! He's no longer President he hasn't been for FIVE years. We're talking about OBAMA, the guy that was supposed to be different. But I guess if the other guy did it its ok for our guy to do it, right libs? You guys sound like a bunch of cheerleaders at a football game. And for the record I have NEVER supported the patriot act or any other spying on american people under any president.

Because this stuff started on Bush, which is why he is still relevant. For you neo-cons though, world history apparently started in January '09 when Obama took office.

Well when is it time we the people unite and say enough?

That's the only way the Obamaphobes can process anything. "Durrrr..Obama bad...durrr...so-shul-ism...durrrr..."
