Don't people understand that such programs started ten or fifteen years ago - or longer - and was under the supervision of both parties?
Here, in fact, it seems that Bush was the one who signed off on giving civilian law enforcement the ability and means to use such technology?

Congress first authorized Customs and Border Protection to buy unarmed Predators in 2005. Officials in charge of the fleet cite broad authority to work with police from budget requests to Congress that cite ?interior law enforcement support? as part of their mission.

So maybe we should bashing the Bush White House and not the current administration, because this shit started long before Obama. In fact, I'm guessing it started before Bush Jr took office too.
