"Anyone who complains" has a problem? Good god.

Obama has extended Bush's policies and escalated them. The Patriot Act lives. Guantanamo lives. His new appointment to the CIA is a defender of "Kill Lists" and drone wars and torture and rendition. We are drone-bombing countries all over the Middle East, with whom we are not at war. We just built a massive security complex in Israel. We are expanding the military into Africa and building drone bases all over the world.

We have a new massive spy center in the US and expanding warrantless surveillance of our phone calls, emails, and internet activity. Our President has defended legislation to make this spying "legal." Our police departments are militarized. Peaceful protesters are being labeled as potential "terrorists," targeted for spying, and met with violent, coordinated federal assault.

Our President has claimed the power to assassinate American citizens on American soil without due process.

What on earth are you talking about?
