I've been against this stuff for the last TEN YEARS that its been happening, or at least against it as a reasonable counter measure against a disorganized band of terrorists.*
Having it all come down on Obama isn't fair because it started under, but at the same time I'm not going to change my stance on it.
I think its necessary at this point for the Dems to get a libertarian / authoritarian rift just like the Repubs have between Rand Paul and Rove. Then this struggle becomes about the libertarian leaning sections of right and left against the authoritarian sections of right and left, without effecting the actual right left political dynamic in an unfair manner. It would take an outspoken Dem in congress to speak out for this, for legalization of pot, for the rest. If Dems don't have this leader they risk the disenfranchisement of much of their base.
*I'm still holding out to learn that its actually a "They Live" type situation, and the NSA and presidents have the secret sunglasses that lets them see the ET's amongst us, which they are battling justifying all these ridiculously extreme measures.
