Typical of most Obama supporters sadly... They want a different more easy standard get applied to Obama. The media already does this for him. Why don't we just propose some alien and sedition acts and make it official? Americans shall not speak negative about Barak Obama! But seriously, if Obama is so great and Obama has all this ability then why not judge Obama with the same standards we applied to Bush? Surely if he's so smart, so awesome, Obama can measure up to the same standards liberals were applying to Bush.

Department of Justice link, so if nobody wants to visit a DOJ link then don't copy and paste the link, but in that link the Obama administration defends the indefinite detention without charge or trial captured terrorists. The Obama administration also has said the Geneva Conventions are not judicially enforceable to private individuals in habeas proceedings just like Bush would say. A couple weeks ago Obama demanded the Democrats on the Appropriations Committee strip out benchmarks in a 100 billion dollar war supplemental just like Bush would always demand Congress do. The list could go on and on.
So when you have just one standard you apply to all Presidents, you can begin making judgments. Many Obama supporters used to blast those same arguments George W. Bush would make, but today are silent and unwilling to say Obama is wrong in making the same arguments that just a few months ago Obama himself was blasting.
