"...the incoming Obama administration changed virtually nothing with respect to existing CIA programs and operations. Things continued. Authorities were continued that were originally granted by President Bush beginning shortly after 9/11. Those were all picked up, reviewed and endorsed by the Obama administration."

See, this is what I don't get. Obama is for all intents and purposes Bush II 2.0. The major outlines of his policies are either Bushes (the bank bailouts, the ongoing middle east wars) or other Republican plans (the health care overhaul was a Republican plan from the 90's that was the alternative to a democratic universal healthcare stance). The major players stayed in place, or replaced by philosophically likewise players (Gates, Geinther for e.g.)...
Yet...yet...suddenly he was this anti-american commie socialist. When the major outlines of what his administration differed about zero from what Bush was doing. And Bush was apple pie fucking America fuck yeah. And all of a sudden you get these rabid, foaming nitwits like popfodders who seemingly have nothign better to do then wave ill-spelled signs at political rallies, yell inanities about something-something America taxes something or post endless streams of crap on internet forums like this.
So where you folks just not paying attention to policy outlines and then suddenly got pissed off that a black dude got elected? Or that a democrat got elected? Where you just handed a copy of photoshop, Atlas Shrugs and pointed at the internet and then patted on the head like a good little canon fodder serf?
