Obama pleads with Congress to pass surveillance bill [that he promised to end when he campaigned for White House] | 31 May 2015 | President Barack Obama has made a plea to Congress to pass a bill that limits some NSA surveillance powers, saying it would be “irresponsible” and “reckless” to allow such authorities to expire at midnight on Sunday (US time). “This is a matter of national security,” Mr Obama said in his weekly address. “We shouldn't surrender the tools that help keep us safe. It would be irresponsible. It would be reckless.” Mr Obama blamed “a small group of senators [who are] standing in the way”, understating the gridlock in Congress caused by several groups who support or oppose the reform-minded bill, the USA Freedom Act, over a status quo renewal of powers under the Patriot Act [that Obusha promised he'd end, when he campaigned for the White House in 2008.
