Well...Obama just took what Bush gave him.
Yeah he did...and made it worse!
not true. this was the Patriot Act under bush
"
The Bush administration built an unprecedented surveillance operation to pull in mountains of information far beyond the warrantless wiretapping previously acknowledged, a team of federal inspectors general reported Friday, questioning the legal basis for the effort but shielding almost all details on grounds they're still too secret to reveal.
The report, compiled by five inspectors general, refers to "unprecedented collection activities" by U.S. intelligence agencies under an executive order signed by President George W. Bush after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks

President Obama extended sections of the Patriot Act:
—Authorize court-approved roving wiretaps that permit surveillance on multiple phones.
—Allow court-approved seizure of records and property in anti-terrorism operations.
—Permit surveillance against a so-called lone wolf, a non-U.S. citizen engaged in terrorism who may not be part of a recognized terrorist group.
