He’s right...Bush was tracking terrorists and Obama is tracking Republicans.

Yep, no comparison at all -

Under Bush, the program was looking for external threats to our country.

Under Obama, the program is looking for threats to the power of Obama and the democrats.

Under Bush, the program examined phone records of incoming international calls from known terrorists so that their domestic contacts could be watched more closely.

Under Obama, the program stored ALL phone records so that people on Obama’s enemies list could be harassed by various government agencies.

I agree there is a huge difference:

Bush knew where to draw the line and Obama has shot past the line

The difference is Americans trust Bush not to violate sacred trusts for political purposes and Obama is well past that. Obama-Axlerod-Jarrett are not good people.

Stuxnet revelation!

Benghazi sham story!

IRS to stop political opponents!

Politicization of the bureaucracy!

Bring back Bush!

What Bush is alleged to have done is not relevant.

The only thing that matters is what Obama actually did.

Funny how Democrats across the nation overwhelmingly support more agressive NSA data collection under Obama but opposed more tepid NSA data collection under Bush. They’re inconsistent, biased and hypocritical.
