This administration's rehabilitation of George W. Bush continues. Don Surber posts a transcript of a 2004 interview with then Senator-elect Barack Obama complaining that the Patriot Act was rushed through the Congress without being read.
BARACK OBAMA: …When you rush these budgets that are a foot high and nobody has any idea what’s in them and nobody has read them."Well, well, well," says Surber. "Actually he was for careful deliberation until he opposed it."
RANDI RHODES: 14 pounds it was!
BARACK OBAMA: Yeah. And it gets rushed through without any clear deliberation or debate then these kinds of things happen. And I think that this is in some ways what happened to the Patriot Act. I mean you remember that there was no real debate about that. It was so quick after 9/11 that it was introduced that people felt very intimidated by the administration.
