Auto-pen? have you heard of this?

Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.) is questioning President Obama's use of an autopen in signing an extension of the Patriot Act.

In a letter Friday, Graves asks Obama to confirm that he saw the law prior to its autopen signing.

"Mr. President, I write to request your confirmation that S. 990, as passed by Congress, was presented to you prior to the autopen signing, as well as a detailed, written explanation of your Constitutional authority to assign a surrogate the responsibility of signing bills passed into law," Graves wrote.

I never heard of an "auto-pen" so I tried to find a pic of one ... no luck.  Honestly, I wouldn't care if Obama received the thing by email and then annotated his signature on top of the bill and emailed it back.  I mean, WHO CARES how he does it as long as there is no fraud involved.

I can't believe the people who fight this guy on every insignificant item as if it's the end of the world and yet let him go on the major things.  Where are the Republicans screaming about the dipshit blocking drilling, refining, and transportation of oil?  Why aren't they on the news every day bitching like banshees and reminding everyone they are getting peeled like grapes?  No, instead they have to bitch about auto-pen.

Meanwhile, I thought - what the hell is this auto-pen and how much did the government squander on the whole shabang?  After getting all indignant about it, it appears like it's not very much sooooo ...

Anyway, do you remember when the Patriot Act was a bad idea?  Yes, remember all the newspapers telling you how evil Bush was because of it? Remember the "Democratics" telling you how bad it was?  Yes, yes -- that's because the Democratics always stand on principle.  It's never political with them ... they're always looking out for the good of the people. They simply are not the kind of people who lie through their teeth.  They know the truth and stick with it, even when it hurts.


That's why Obama-the-truthful is renewing the Patriot Act now.  He's always thought it was a good idea ... just like closing Guantanamo ... or whatever it was he told the pea-brained Democatics to get them to vote for him.


Harry Reid is just as upstanding as Obama.  Don't believe me?  Here's Harry-The-Democratic-Reid (some time ago now) telling you how great the Patriot Act is: Found the video at WAMK.
