Holy overreaction Batman!
I think he just meant that because Bush has shown he cares less about civil liberties by expanding secret prisons and messing with the constitution with things like the Patriot Act and wire tapping, not to mention what many have called an illegal war.
And many of those have been Obama's talking points.
I would like to think Obama is against it and will tighten up the program even though he hasn't eliminated it completely.
To be fair it was started under Clinton's watch, though Reagan used something similar too.
Of course it did seem to snowball under the Bush years.
