Just because we were against it when Bush did it, does NOT mean we are hypocrites now
Bush is NOT Gore
Bush is NOT Kerry
Bush is NOT President Obama
(sorry Ralph both sides are NOT the same, SCOTUS for one).
it is a fake analogy
Just because a bad president may abuse the system, it does not hold that that we are called hypocrites today
A good president doesn't abuse the system
A bad president abuses the system
Sick and tired of seeing comments online, or in the media that well, you were this way when Bush was in office so one is a hypocrite
BULLSHIT
imho
In other words, Bush doing it was bad. 0bama doing it is good. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022094200)
And don't you forget it: anything the Anointed One does is GOOD. Because he DID it.

2. Well, yes I think it does mean we're hypocrites now

If we were against Bush and Cheney abusing FISA to spy on people then and if we're not still against it now that Obama is President then I think that pretty well defines us as hypocrites.
If we were against Bush and Cheney water boarding and torturing prisoners back then and if we're not against Obama having a secret kill list now which includes US citizens not tried in any court and which labels any male of a certain age who happens to get killed by our drones as a terrorist then I think we're hypocrites.
Can you shed some light on how we're not hypocrites in light of these realities?

9. Damn it's hard to be consistent isn't it?
I appreciate your sarcasm. Although it often pains me I try my best to be consistent and equally critical of actions by either party's administration I feel are unfair and unconstitutional. Yes, I did vote for Obama twice. That does not mean I feel he has a total free reign to do whatever he wishes.

I AM curious about the actual event that he's referring to. What did Bush do that was bad that Obama's doing now?
Or did he purposely leave out the item so that the ensuing campfire would expose the nitwittery?

I was wondering the same thing.

FISA wiretaps, I believe.

I'm going out on a limb and suggesting "everything", with the exception of financial and moral support of the Muslim Brotherhood.

It was FISA and NDAA. Both renewed with nary a whisper of opposition.
