Not to piss anybody off here, but wasn't he the one that massively restricted personal freedom for the sake of national security?
I'm not an American, but from the outside I had that impression sometimes. I can see why some people are concerned about what Obama is doing at the moment, but it really annoys me when "freedom" to some seems to mean "economic freedom" almost exclusively. There's more to it than that.
