Obama Urges Passing of Security Legislation

United States President Barack Obama used his weekly address on May 29 to urge action on the USA Freedom Act. The legislation would keep in place provisions of the Patriot Act, due to expire at midnight on May 30. Obama said the passing of the act had stalled because “a small group of senators is standing in the way” and urged the Senate to “put the politics aside”. Credit: YouTube/The White House
