I am really angry about this. I'm angry at both the rank-and-file and at Obama. I feel like their hypocrisy isn't even the important part- all politicians are hypocritical at some point, really. It might as well be included in the definition. What angers me most is what's always angered me about it, the institutionalization of a complete disregard for our civil liberties and rights. And the fact that this was extended with relatively little fanfare in the press, as far as I can recall, is just another nail in the fail coffin.
Edit: To clarify, I AM angry about the hypocrisy, and it's been a difficult lesson over the past couple of years in why everyone is so cynical about politics and our current parties. I'm just MORE angry about the Act itself.
