Personally, I don't want to get into a partisan debate at the moment ...
I do find it amusing that Obama was so critical of George W. Bush's "Ad Hoc Legal Approah" towards terrorism, when he has demonstrated an "Ad Hoc Legal Approah" towards the economy and (as the video suggests) seems to be demonstrating his own "Ad Hoc Legal Approah" towards the war on terror.
If I was an optimist I would probably get hopeful that both sides of the political spectrum would start understanding why the unchecked powers held by the government in general (and the executive branch in particular) were dangerous ... Unfortunately, I'm a realist and I understand that as long as people are willing to believe the unrealistic promises of politicians that we will never see a reduction in the size of the government or in the power it holds.
