Well I can't edit my now-0 comment, but the point is, slipping in words like "quietly" assigns an intent which may not be present. As though Obama were trying to sneak the NDAA past everyone.

It's hard to covertly sign any legislation as the president, notwithstanding secret courts and laws (fisa, patriot act secret interpretations, etc).

Just saying, we don't need to try to make people think a certain way by guiding them with weasel words, people can read facts and make a judgement, without trying to subtly assign some bias in either direction.
