“It was not a quest for power that resulted in the Bush policy to put terrorists in prison. It was a desire to keep America safe - which succeeded.”

I’m not arguing that Bush abused the power to go after those who disagreed with him politically. I’m saying that when you grant the President the power to determine who is an enemy of America and then also the right to imprison that person indefintely with no recourse, then you have given the Presidency tyrannical power that someday will be abused. I mean, do you feel comfortable with O having that power?

I understand that, guns. My argument is that President Bush's determination that enemies trying to destroy us need to be imprisoned is not a precedent for this particular brand of abuse.

For me, in wartime, it is not a "tyrannical power" for the Commander in Chief to have the power that President Bush obtained, and I think that Obama's abuse here is unrelated to the wartime power of President Bush.

Frankly, the solution is to never ever again elect a Marxist tyrant as President. Even Bill Clinton wouldn't abuse power like Obama is doing.
