The breach of privacy and intrusion into citizens lives by governments is all to keep us safe and secure from terrorism. George W. Bush and other neo-cons continuously push their used car sales pitch : "You are all safe and secure with me and Please trust me". 


The same laws that were in place under Bush are still in place under Obama. Why are you not yelling at him for it too?

There are those on the left that do.  The Young Turks, with Cenk, happen to do this a lot.  However, you have similar to what is seen on the right wing side.  The other side is SO vilified (no one is no longer just wrong, but evil) that there is so much fear if the other side wins, no one wants to take to task their side, out of fear it would mean the other side would win.  The GOP and the Democrats are playing this fear up, so that they can both throw out principles in the name of obtaining and keeping power.

To flip what you said on its head, why wasn't the Bush administration taken to task more about the deficit and shreding the constitution?  No one seems to hold their own accountable when they are in power.  In fact, anyone who questioned the last administration's actions was put in the traitor camp, because we were "at war".  The muzzling regarding the Iraq war started BEFORE it began, and then people were told to shut up AFTER it started.  And take Cindy Shehan.  Apparently it is only trendy to report what fits the pattern, because I believe she is protesting Obama being in Iraq and Afghanistan. But that isn't worth anyone's time I guess.
