Obamaflock: do you support Obama's move to sign indefinite detention of US citizens into law?

How about resigning the Patriot Act after blasting it as a Senator? He seemed like a pretty cool guy back when he was vilifying the Patriot Act and the wars Too bad he's a corporate banking puppet that was just talking out of the side of his mouth to get elected. Is there any doubt that Obama is Bush reincarnate?

Of course they do because they go along with anything the party goes along with like sheep! Just like the neocons go along with anything their party does like sheep!
Hey! Open those eyes! While your saviors (republicans+democrats) are both on the stage pointing their fingers at each other there's others behind the scenes trying to figure out how they will cover up the next printing of the fed to pay off the megabanks! Wake up!

What I find supremely hypocritical is how Arizona is sued for enforcing federal law but Chicago and other Sanctuary Cities is NOT for refusing to enforce federal law! Or how an Executive Order to "by-pass Congress" (Obama's words) remove the work requirement restrictions for welfare is ignored... can anyone say "rule by fiat"? If a Republican did it, it would be called "unconstitutional" but ITS OK FOR A DEMOCRAT TO DO IT!

If you are referring to the National Defense Authorization Act, that's one possible explanation, all be it one that's a bit paranoid. Another explanation is that knowing that an amendment banning indefinite detention had not passed, he could either sign the bill as is with signing statement questioning the constitutionality of the provision (which he did) and hope that the courts would agree with him (which they so far have), or he could drag out the process until he got the language he wanted.

President Bush is not dead.

I don't care for it though -- I'm betting it was written with guys lie Awlaki in mind, but if you have them in custody how much special treatment do they need? Is it just so they can be milked for information more easily?

No, I do not like any of that. And he is far more intelligent than Bush.
