This all sounds just awful.

Not sure how you can blame Obama for it though.

Blame him for not trying to stop it sure...

But I don't think you can say he was grabbing for power.

There is attempts at grabbing power and shredding the Constitution going back for awhile.  I will let others say it started earlier than the Clinton administration, but you see Carnivoire, Ruby Ridge and Waco under the Clinton Administration.  The most recent Bush administration also played a bunch of this to. You had Muslim extremists against globalization (and connecting the United States with it) being made out to be a greater threat than the former Soviet Union, and with this came a bunch of compromises.  And now it continues under Obama.  One can then say maybe it isn't either Bush Jr. or Obama's fault, but the powers that be doing it.  I just wish media types would stop with the partisan cheerleading here, and being inconsistent regarding all this.
