Did Obama Break His Campaign Promise to Scrap the Patriot Act?

From the article:

Then-Senatorial candidate Obama in 2003 branded the Patriot Act “shoddy and dangerous” and pledged to dump it. He made the pledge in response to a candidate’s survey by the National Organization for Women. Obama reneged on the pledge. But he did work to shave off some of the more blatantly outrageous constitutional abuses in the Act by imposing some civil liberties protections in the gathering and use of intelligence, on the use of torture in interrogations, and requiring at least some semblance of due process in court proceedings. But that paled in significance when Obama in a letter and with little fanfare and comment routinely let stand most of the still noxious provisions in the Act.
